Worry about your business and stay out of theirs, they get breaks, they take lunch, and sometimes they screw off when waiting for material or equipment to show up. Maybe if you were working instead of bitching and moaning again on reddit this wouldn't bother you.

Oh yeah I know that, I’m more asking if I should be cautious of them. My girlfriend is trans and I recently heard someone say “all trans people are jews” and I’ve been hearing the “trans people are groomers” narrative and I just don’t know if these types of people will try to target someone who’s trans who just happens to be in town.

Maybe I’m overreacting, but it does worry me a little. I don’t leave because I have chronic illness, but whenever I do leave, if something were to happen I couldn’t physically do much to help the situation. And we have been in danger before but in another town so that’s why we’re so cautious.

Thanks for these reassuring words. I’m concerned that these ideas are spreading to normal people who otherwise wouldn’t be convinced by them had the internet not pushed these mentalities everywhere

I wouldn't say there is nothing to worry about, but the majority of the time, these people are just internet warriors who want to try and impress others online. You might see someone with stickers on the car or flags hanging on the front porch, but it's not like there is a mob terrorizing the city.

I don’t go outside a lot. Are there lots of people here like this? Should I be worried about them?

I ask because I have never once in my life seen something like this. But again, I don’t go outside a lot so maybe it’s not as big of a deal as it looks like…

Edit- I should say that I have been outside before. Since moving here, which was a year ago, I have not left the house much due to chronic illness and I am not super familiar with this town
