My perspective on safe zones and protected environments is that they are quite far and few in between in this country.
I don't think they are even close to needed since there is very little adversity here as it is. What people claim as a hard life is much less so than not too long ago but it still impacts them as if they are mortally wounded. Life gets easier, the impression of pain stays the same.
I don't personally feel like telling them to suck it up because I know how badly some people treat transsexuals and how most people merely tolerate them.
I have a couple trans friends in the Helsinki region and they have had a relatively easy go of it considering those I knew who grew up in the 80s in Australia. When it comes to the tolerate, that is the same for anyone who is not part of whatever group the judge belongs. In Finland, I am tolerated.
it always leaves a trace of evidence behind and it will be easy for the perps to be brought to justice if it's severe enough to be a crime.
And for the victim, it is a lifetime of potential searchable and shareable shame .
In most cases, injustice and violence, be it mental or physical, only leaves dysfunction behind.
I agree but, it is also because rather than build tools to cope and heal, we tell people that they are victims. No matter who did the harm, it is up to the individual to take care of the aftermath.
Civilization is all about trying to engineer the negatives away.
It is a pity that it is the same negatives on repeat for most people.
