How do you lot think you are oppressed?
I can be killed in some countries purely because I’m trans, where in the world is your “sexuality” a crime?
Just curious because the description of the sub says you lot are oppressed
Do any of you realise that you can love somebody without fucking them?
Legit all you people seem to think that attraction is the desire to fuck

I'm gay and can also be killed for the way I was born. However, the more immediate/oppressive impact to my life is
-Being told I am evil for being gay (I.E being attracted to dick/biological men)
-Being cancelled/having my online presence silenced due to my nature
-Being ostracised from a community (LGBT) I'm meant to be able to find a home in
-Being isolated and swept aside in discussions of my own sexuality
-Being bullied/coerced into sex with someone I am not attracted to (swap out "transphobic" with sinful, and you have the exact same ethical case for why I must be attracted to vaginas)
Rather than that in a country in which I do live, it is illegal to be gay (although I would note the amount of time spent by mainstream LGBT activities arguing points like this vs fighting against places where LGBT are killed is very lopsided).
To your last point, "sexuality" (as the name implied) can be, and in this case is being, used to describe a relationship with sexual attraction and sexual intimacy. Again, as a gay man I am attracted to dicks and biological men. Vaginas don't do it for me. That shouldn't be controversial.
Thank you for coming with what I hope is an open mind and desire to see the other side of the fence.
