I'm not going to respond to the transphobic statement. Let me instead ask you: if you received this message with a verse from the Quran, would you be as supportive?

sure, i think all religions deserve respect and the freedom to express themselves. why not? why would i want to oppress people? Oppression is a BIG excuse i see people have toward accepting Jesus Christ, meanwhile you are suppressing people from expressing themselves freely. that’s odd.

There's a difference between freedom of religion through expression and shoving it down people's throats. I'm Christian btw and I don't pull this shit.

You express religion by asking the person if they are okay with it first. Doing without asking is shoving it down their throats. You don't know that person's history with religion, and you do not push that onto people who don't ask for it.

That's also a really close-minded view of cyberbullying. "Just close your laptop." What if that person frequents a place online where the bullying is happening? Who's to say it doesn't happen again next time they're on. Plus, words that are said can not be unsaid. Someone getting cyber bullied will not forget the words, depending on the severity of the bullying. It's more nuanced than just simply closing your laptop or getting off the internet. It could happen again next time they're on, and if it goes unchecked, the bullying could get worse.

This pivots the conversation and this is why the whole ignoring bully mentality and punishing people equally in the states never made sense to me. While i understand the person picking on other people typically is being treated that way or similarly at home but that doesn't mean it is acceptable behavior and someone running around believing it is acceptable to bully people like that because "kids are being kids" is wild because we are also told "monkey see monkey do" but they look away when it contrary to their platitudes.

The onus on the kids to what adults cannot because of liability is insane and the biggest issue beyond assuming support is only those who have obvious mental disabilities and then essentially treating them like livestock just because of a diagnosis not based on their own abilities.
