So not specific to human trafficking, just the general reality of being a very marginalized and poorly understood group which society has made into a scapegoat

    We're also heavily fetishized and even more likely to get trafficed as sex workers

    Nothing more validating to us trans women's gender than being disproportionately the victim of heinous acts and made the object of some fucko's sexual desires

    Hmm. Could it count as Awe? Often very close with dread.

    It's awe-inspiring how true and complete your transition to Woman is. Entire forces of society able and willing to obliterate you and ruin your life, because they, in all essence, see you as the woman you are.

    And by woman, they mean someone vulnerable, with a body worth exploiting for the appetites of the rich.

    Also a whole lot of men who are into dick but need to think of themselves as "straight" channel a weird combination of obsession and contempt towards us.

    Homophobia, transphobia, and misogyny simultaneously.

    I would say the straights aren't okay, but I don't even think it's "the straights", it's just conservativism as a toxic mental health pandemic, perpetuating itself, as intended. The dumb, violent, fearful, ignorant, hateful, bigoted mind virus. Yeah I'm woke, I'm awake and aware of the unfortunately neverending stream of evil bullshit. I'm sick of it. Make it stop.
