I was really grossly stabbed in the back at 3-5am while I was asleep. It was intentionally done while I wasn't awake, and no direct reasons were given for it. All I woke up to was a fake apology after the fact by a single person, and then I quickly noticed there was some half-assed attempt to cover up the motives.

This all stems back to that incident I mentioned happen a few weeks ago. To sum it up, I'm now being overtly and publicly punished for standing up against a man who trans shamed me, among many other offensive (and frankly, criminal) behaviors towards others.

Someone with influence was protecting him before, which is how he easily avoided any actual punishment, and it seems everyonein power is protecting him now. These were people I interact with fairly frequently, who were never close to him, gathering together and deciding he was more important than his victims. Based on what little response I've been able to generate from them this morning, I can tell they're hoping I have a public reaction. They want me to give them the ammunition.

I know better than to give them what they want. Flailing at this point does nothing but make me look bad, but I also feel there isn't anything good that can come out of this situation for me at this point. I feel like my only real choice here is to just silently eject everyone involved, directly or indirectly, from my personal space, and completely cut this part of my life off. Is it doable? Yes. It's just easier said than done. I had actually started to open up some.

My body feels so tense right now that I'm not even shaking, and I don't even know how to describe it properly. It's like my very being is exuding this intensely negative aura. I knew this could end poorly, but I didn't expect to get thrown under the bus so thoroughly and in such a cowardly manner by people I thought I was close to.

I won't do anything rash, but I don't think I'll have it in me to forgive or to forget this.
