Can you imagine finding these flyers on your car in the morning? I know I would wonder if I was targeted.
That is what these people pray on, scaring the people with lies. We see this around the U.S. creating of trans people and I have to wonder if it creates violence against us and the bullying of trans students in schools. Do these flyers create a climate where bullies feel that they have a green light to attack people who are different from themselves?

BOSTON —
Gay and transgender advocates are raising concern after fliers were circulated in Massachusetts and New Hampshire with messages of hate against proposed policies to end discrimination.
Sunday, residents in South Boston and Roxbury found fliers on their cars that called a proposed bill to prohibit businesses from discriminating against people based on their gender identity “unfair and unsafe.”
The flier also cited incidents in other states where “men have been entering women’s locker rooms, disrobing and refusing to leave. They are not even ‘identifying’ as female.”
“They didn’t put the source of that information on there, which I think is very revealing, ” said Matt Wilder, a spokesman for Freedom Massachusetts. “Our message on these fliers is that they are complete lies.”
In New Hampshire, where school officials are discussing new policies to create gender neutral bathrooms, another flier was circulated last week that referred to transgender students as “pedophiles.”
