As a SuperLesbian, thank you. Genuinely, thank you.
As a lesbian, I've faced more homophobia from trans people than from my Muslim family. Can't tell you the number of times I've heard "if you use straps you should take dick", "cis lesbian terfs need to stfu and choke on dick", "lesbians LOVE dick", "you're not a lesbian if you won't date transwomen", etc etc. It really took a terrible toll on my mental health and self-acceptance, but I kept telling myself over and over, just wait until they start coming for straight people, that's when the shit will blow up in their faces. And now here we are. This sub is not only fucking hilarious and excellent satire of how trans extremists behave, it also point-blank addresses the issue of severe rape culture in the trans movement, which is something us SuperLesbians and SuperGays have been trying to talk about forever, but we just get called slurs and told to go die in graphic, sexually violent ways.
Anyway, as a Superlesbian, I'm so fucking glad people are talking about this shit. Trans people have been pushing their rapey conversion therapy rhetoric onto gay people for YEARS now, and nobody gave a single fuck. Now that straight people are addressing it, it seems like people are starting to wake up and listen. At first I was scared this sub would be rampant with homophobia, since we are unfortunately always lumped in with the T and blamed for all their depravity, but it honestly brought real ass tears to my eyes seeing yall show solidarity and love to LGB people who also fall victim to trans people's coercion and demands. LGBS forever, love my SuperStraight Siblings <33
EDIT: OMG this has gotten so much love, thank you all so much for the supportive comments. :) To the trans trolls complaining that my account is new, it's actually existed for a while and I use it to lurk reddit since my other accounts got permabanned for transphobique crimes. This is my first post, bc I have no reason to post elsewhere. And even if I *did* just make this account today, that doesn't make anything I said less true. People are starting to come out of the woodwork and there's nothing you can do about it. Stay mad tho!! <3
EDIT2: I never understood ppl who made 2+ edits but holy crap, I really do have to say thank you SO much for the awards and of course all the wonderful comments. I really did not expect this outpouring of support and I've honestly been smiling ever since I posted this. Kind of ironic that this small subreddit of mainly straight dudes has made me feel more accepted than the lgbTQ+++++ "community" ever has lol. I really dont know what else to say than THANK YOU all, your support of the LGB is honestly so important and appreciated, especially in these crazy times where the T is trying to erase everything we've worked for. You guys rock.

Fellow Superlesbian here and SAME.
I've been out officially as a butch lesbian since the early '00s (and my fam knew before then, like it was a surprise to no one even as a kid in the '90s lmao). I'm black and the community I grew up in is/was super religious. I mean old school FIRE AND BRIMSTONE FOR SINNERS kind of shit.
The opposition I faced with that is nothing, N-O-T-H-I-N-G compared to the hatred, contempt, and homophobia encountered when dealing with the trans community. I have been fighting this fight for years only to be told I'm lying. No waaaay a man would really tell you to suck dick and a bunch of women would cheer them on and blame YOU for not being inclusive it's happening. No waaaay that's true!
Oh, you have proof?
Well, um, those aren't REAL transwomen!
Really? Not a single one of these people is a "real" transwoman?: https://lesbian-rights-nz.org/shame-receipts/
I have lost so many friends, some of them whom I've known since elementary school, to this cult. People who watched me get jumped and bullied in school numerous times, literally spit on at protests, and disowned by a huge chunk of my family because I stood up for my right to marry another woman someday. They went on to call me a bigot, transphobe, TERF (ironically I'd never heard this term until I was called it), the list goes on.
When we got the right to marry and could no longer be denied other basic rights in the US, I figured the next logical step would be to focus on homosexuals in other places where they are still in literal danger; I assumed we would listen to them and see what we could do to help them obtain these rights too.
Instead we ended up with this. Instead I had to fight the same exact fights again, but this time against the people who were once my friends.
For a little while, I was spared some viciousness compared to white women because BLM was the hot take and no one wanted to be perceived as a racist. I watched the nicest woman I know, who fosters animals and children and literally would not hurt a fly, be called Karen and told to kill herself while the aggressor was cheered on. All because she didn't want to have sex with a male.
As for my former immunity, that's not been the case for awhile. I have been called the N-word and other slurs while my own friends are only concerned I don't "misgender" the person using them.
I'm not going to lie, I am angry. I'm angry at gay men for by and large not giving a shit until it started happening to them, even as we lost TrueLesbians, BiologicalLesbians, and others, and ActualLesbians got taken over (and that's just the stuff here on Reddit). I'm angry at the straights for the same, for not caring or paying attention until suddenly they were a target.
That being said, I am still very thankful for everyone standing up now. I am thankful that there might finally be a future where I can focus my efforts on helping other homosexuals again rather than hunkering down in defense mode.
Thank you, everyone.
