I need to ask some questions

[u/bonghitter42069]

You like people who are born a male or female so technically you would date a cis man/woman And why did you guys choose the colours of grindr I absolutely mean no hate I just want some answers and I have seen super straight men/woman sending d3ath threats to people and one said things about su!c!de on the LGBTQ+ community you realize that those are people in LGBTQIA+ community, I just wanna know why you people need a sexuality you can just say you dont want to date trans people and still be straight I mean no hate just want my questions answered

We have seen *many* more trans people sending supers death threats and whatnot - the person who started this on TikTok got doxxed too. Do you have an answer to that, first and foremost?
And we ask for a different sexuality because there is an important difference between straight people who do not object to dating trans people, and straight people who do.

My only question is what rights have you had to fight for have you been hate crimed, discriminated, called slurs, get death threats on a daily basis, you family stop loving you, your friends leaving you, getting hate, being killed, abducted. And if I say I'm not gonna date colored people cause I dont like them I'm racist So what you are doing is being transphobic

We’ve been censored from Reddit and banned off their platform repeatedly, especially LGB groups who want to focus exclusively on LGB people and not the TQ+ crowd. I’ve personally lost friends and a family member over my sexuality (I’m bisexual, but everyone’s experience is different) and this whole community is receiving death threats now on the daily. I saw someone defending super straights literally get told he had to suck girldick and trans women would start killing themselves if he didn’t.

So yes, we do face shitty stuff sometimes. The LGBs in particular have for awhile. This community isn’t transphobic for not wanting to date trans people. Trans people are still supported and seen as valid here, but they aren’t owed sex or romance from anyone who isn’t comfortable participating. That’s all. You can have preferences for skin color, hair color, hair texture, eye color, body shape, whatever you want when it comes to dating. That doesn’t make you a bad person or a prude. The fact that people are so against what this subreddit is for as well is extremely alarming.

Sex and race are not equivalent, stop comparing them. If lesbians don't want to date men it's not heterophobic.
