Change Of Plans

After watching the documentary Two spirits, It talks about the brutal murder of Fred Martinez a transgender, I can't help but feel betrayed by the ability of humanity. Betrayed in the sense that when did the world get this nasty? The way he was murdered and the reasons behind is terrifying because there are so many cases like that of Fred Martinez that do not come to light. With the constant evolutionary change of humanity it is hard to grasp to the fact that although people are becoming more open minded there are also people who are becoming even more ignorant because that is what it is. The people who commit hate crimes are ignorant, they are not well educated and don't understand that people are born differently and just because they are born gay or a transgender or disabled it does not mean that the person will want to cause harm. Those people need to understand that we cannot choose the race in which we are born into or who we will grow up to love. These things are that which we cannot change and things that people should not try to change. My point is that we need to unite as a people instead of individuals and start becoming more acceptant of those who are different because if you really think about it no one person is the same.

  1. I appreciate your view on this, & I agree with you 100%, the sad and unfortunate reality is not everyone is able to see it the way you do.
