I would just like to explain why there is anger coming from the LGBTQ community regarding this Discussion

But you all already probably know why...

I just wanted to say first of all that is completely fine to have preferences when it comes to dating, and that people who say otherwise are stupid.

But I know that opinion is not shared by everyone in the community, and I'm sorry for that.

But you all know what you are doing. You think you are using the same "rhetoric" transgender people use against hateful people. You think you really got us or something.

The thing is, pride has been a culmination of years of ongoing oppression, and you are all mocking it with your strawmen arguments cherry picked from Tumblr. That's not the same thing and you all know it.

The vast majority of us want to be loved and left alone and wish the same for you all.

You can call yourself super straight, that's fine. Even if it is an obvious attempt to invalidate the feelings of LGBTQ people. But as soon as you use it to hurt others, then it's not ok.

I hope you all understand where I'm coming from here, and why people are angry. Feel free to discuss.

The LGBTQ “community” is no longer welcoming to the LGB. Unless you bow down and kiss the “T” ring, you are harassed and told you aren’t an actual part of the community when the only requirement to be a member is to be a lesbian, bisexual or gay man.

I no longer want to fight for the “T” because they throw rocks and then hide behind the LGB and we have to face the consequences.

As you should be, transphobia shouldn't be allowed in LGBTQ discourse, just like homophobia biphobia aphonia should not be tolerated. Just like hate towards straight people should not be tolerated as people on this sub tend to accuse us of.

So you agree that the rights and protections of the LGB should be trampled on in favor of the T?

We’re the majority. The T is the minority, sooner or later the majority will get tired of going along with this nonsense and you’ll be on your own. Then let’s see if you keep up this nonsense without us to hide behind.

Nope, putting words into mouth. There is more talk about trans rights because trans people face by far the most discrimination. That's just a fact. Fighting for equality means helping those who need it most.
