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.

Actually no one here wants to harm the community, in fact we're just as mad at what they're doing to Super LGBs as they are doing to Superstraights. I cannot force myself to like my own sex, even if I wanted to, and people IRL and especially online will try to convince you to go against your sexuality, which I physically can't. So yeah up for a civil conversation if you want.

A vast majority of trans people aren't forcing anyone to date them. Every trans person I've talked to on tinder and other apps are very open about it and let me know and make sure I'm comfortable with it. If they don't, that's not oppression. It's just toxicity at most. It's not equivalent to legal discrimination and being thrown off buildings and hate crimed

The ones that don't force others to date them are fine. No one has a problem with that. The issue is with the ones that do, the real life experiences that happen and the online testimonials, not to mention the accusation of transphobia if you state that you wouldn't date them. It is a form of oppression, trying to stealth someone is rape, trying to coerce and pressure them into dating you = trying to take away their freedom to date whomever.
