But you’re not wrong in that regard and anti-whatever within a community is the same as being anti-whatever the community is. It doesn’t invalidate opinion, it only shows who’s ignorant and who isn’t. If you are not willing to accept someone who is different, regardless if they are a minority or not, you are just as bad as those who are not accepting of the minority (if you were someone of the majority).

Ideologies like this is what makes a community so cannibalistic and toxic that people who once sought out these communities as a sanctuary flee because what if they were still the wrong mold for a place they thought had no molds?

It can be seen through the perspective of racism and “reverse racism”. Reverse racism is a bullshit term that tries to justify and sugarcoat what is still racism. It’s still animosity and hatred. And as long as people are still out there looking for other ‘different’ people to target (those who do not fit into their circle labels), it’s not going to make anything any better. Also some of these topics floating about the lgbtq+ comm are so questionable like do we really have to debate who belongs and who doesn’t to the point where aces are controversial?

I’m really sorry your friend did that. And I hope they calm down and realise what you were actually trying to say and you two make up. Gods know I lost a friend or two from shit like this and it’s the worst fucking feeling.

And I really hate seeing that people would constantly twist an opinion or even a community issue callout into something about how op is being transphobic or homobphobic or racist because they said one thing the person didn’t understand or agree with and want you to feel bad because they are upset. This is why SJWs are eating each other alive. They’re so easy to trigger and so quick to want to hurt people because of petty little things.

I’m not active in the lgbtq+ community because I know I’d be balder sooner than my genes would allow with how mental things can get. I just like saying my two cents on things sometimes.

TLDR - people are assholes and want to hurt other people along with themselves and it’s sad. Can we like, try to actually be nice and like idk hug someone and tell them to have a good day or something damn.
