I am legitimately scared....

So the new thing on the block is that bill that passed for transgender people to use certain bathrooms.  Been causing a big uproar and many people are mad about it.  Now that it's happening, there's also news that people are using that to try and attack women and whatnot.  What the fuck??  I mean, really??  Is this what our society is coming to?  I get that a lot of these people could have a mental illness and may not act like this if they didn't.  Or maybe they would, I have no idea. Anyway, it makes me super scared for me and my girls.  Growing up, I didn't have any troubles with anyone around me.  I played in the park by myself, I went for walks around the "long block" in my hometown of Mapleton, ND, I rode bike all the way to the Coop with absolutely no troubles.  Nowadays, it's like everywhere you turn, there's some story about some person either watching, or trying to approach kids and attacking women.  I want to give my kids the freedoms that I had growing up.  My parents trusted that I wouldn't do anything stupid when I was out playing.  But now, I'm not so sure that I'll be able to.  Maybe none of the things I see in the news will affect us.  But I'd be remiss to actually think nothing like that could touch my life.  Things happen all over, and it very well could happen in Fargo.  Seems like as the years go by, people get more and more dangerous. It just makes me sick.  What happened to people leaving each other the hell alone, and actually being nice to one another.  With the age of technology advancement came all the bullshit too.  Nothing seems to be sacred and it's so much easier to prey on people.  As always, I know times have changed.  Nothing is as it used to be, and that makes me sad.
