The implication of removing the space is that being trans isn't just one way a woman can be, like being tall or being brunette, but that women who are trans require a whole other noun.

But apart from that I just don't care if some stranger on the internet hates what I love. Their opinion doesn't matter, it's just annoying to see. Even if a friend hates what I love I'd agree to disagree and just not talk about it further with them. There's plenty of other things to talk about with friends.

This could apply to any fandom, but it's specifically about RWBY, because it unfortunately has an active hatedom to the extent that I've lost count of how many tumblogs I've blocked to avoid seeing more hate.

I don't have the energy to waste on hate, and even if I did I hope I wouldn't waste my limited time alive on it (I'm chronically ill, not terminally, I'm just aware none of us know exactly when we die).

I'd rather use what time and energy I have on other things, like fic to write (and hopefully fic to read and leave comments for), and fan art to admire and reblog (and say something in the tags about what I love, I gather most artists appreciate that).

Ever since a gif of Bumbleby kissing crossed my dash, RWBY has been a precious highlight in my life. It brought me new friends and a beloved girlfriend. It will always be a good thing to me.

I realise no matter what I say, haters are going to hate. I'll just keep blocking, and maybe I'll stop seeing most of it. Sure, they're entitled to their opinions, but I'm also entitled to my own, and I don't owe them my time and attention.
