Is it acceptable not to feel sorrow for a person who has transitioned and has been nothing but a source of heartache for your life?

Update:

By transitioned I mean the person died. This person has been unkind and ruthless throughout life and I have been neighbors for about 40 yrs. We were friends? at the beginning of our lives; but she moved away with her family because of her heath issues. She was always a bad influence for all the yrs. and would rather forget her now totally because I have only bad experiences with her and consider her passing a confirmation from God that I am protected from all evil. Is this a normal reaction?

    very acceptable.

    A person has only so much reserve for compassion. If they show compassion to people who don't deserve it, then they run the risk of not showing compassion to people who deserve it.

    So many times I see people being understanding of 'strangers' and their 'peers' while tormenting and misbehaving towards their parents. They kind of take their anger out on their parents, because they didn't release the negative energy out on the people who deserved it

    Why feel sorry for someone who transitioned? Apparently they wanted to?
