Senseless Murder

This may not be the right place for this post, but it is in my thoughts nonetheless.

We have all heard about the senseless murder of transgender schoolgirl, Brianna Ghey, who was killed by two pupils from her school. They lured her to a park under the pretence of trying to befriend her, but, instead stabbed her to death and left her body lying under a pile of leaves in the park. Why murder her? Because she was transgender.

Why hate transgender people? What have they done? All they want is to live their lives: to go to school/work, earn a living and get their own place to live. In other words, they want to live like the rest of us. Why hate them just because they have gender-changing operations and dress like the opposite gender? The same goes for gay people who do not change their gender. Why hate them because they make different life choices? I do not understand it.
