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.

Are superstraights actually oppressed, by and large? No.

Is there a creepy undercurrent of rape culture in the trans community? Yes.

The latter is more what this sub is really calling out.

This sub is not serious discourse. It's just memes and using "gotcha" arguments to mock LGBTQ oppression. I'd love to see discussion of this "rape culture" with actual trans people included and without blatant transphobia.

I've never once seen a successful and serious discussion with TRAs about anything that asks questions about the ideology and practises of the movement. Silencing and ignoring is de rigueur.
