Unfortunately their bias denies them the ability to empathize and learn from their mistakes, so they see the world in black and white. Too many transphobes in the comments dogpiling hard on the woman at the beginning. but refused to listen to a single word she said, instead they insist that no matter how hard she tries, she is "still a man." As if their personal perception of a person holds any weight to how that person should identify. If anything, these people are radically delusional, and mentally ill.

Walter, the gay man you were talking to (wearing a BLM shirt) is Brandon Straka. He is part of the Walk Away Movement & is a Jan 6-er. He was arrested in Omaha Nebraska for being at the Capitol on Jan 6th. Mr Straka was sentenced on 1/24/22 to 36 months of probation, including three months of home detention, $5,000 fine, $500 restitution. His X-,formally known as Twitter, account is littered with Trump boot licking. I hope Mr Straka realizes that hating Trans people does not make the Republican party love gay people. They may talk nice to his face. Especially if he has money, and is a consistent donor. However, behind his back they feel he is just as depraved and that him being a gay man is going to send him to hell. Sad that he would side with people who hate him for just being himself and loving who he wants to. It's a nice little grift for now.

I hate this "25% of kids are identifying as LGBTQ+" talking point Firstly: citation Secondly: how do we know that this isn't the true percentage and its just that now people are more educated and more comfortable coming out? Thirdly: "LGBTQ+" is a very broad category, by design. Bisexual all on its own is a very broad category when you think about it. It includes people who equally date men and women, people who prefer same gender or another gender, it even includes people who aren't interested in dating one gender but think that they're hot or are willing to have the occasional fling with a particularly hot person of that gender. A woman who exclusively dates men but is okay making out with other women at the club? She could count as bisexual. Once you throw non-binary people into the mix it gets even more complicated because all of a sudden "bisexual" could mean that you are interested in dating women _and_ also femme presenting non-binaries. I have debated if I should be identifying as bisexual because that's how I am: I'm into dudes, but I would also be willing to date a masculine non-binary person. In these people's view that would make me "straight" but now, all of a sudden, by introducing all of these different definitions I could be classified as part of the LGBTQ+ community despite me not fitting the conventional idea of what being LGBTQ+ means. (I choose not to ID as bisexual, for the record, mostly just because I feel like that communicates something that I don't mean to.) "Queer" or "questioning" is also incredibly broad and open to interpretation. And then you also have other things that aren't necessarily widely recognized as being part of the LGBTQ umbrella but are adjacent enough that some people might place them in that category. I'm talking about people who are polyamorous, people who are into kink, cis/het drag queens/kings, etc. LGBTQ+ is an umbrella term that is intentionally made to be as inclusive as possible. Its really not a shocker that when you take a category and stretch it as wide as can be, a large number of people will fit into it. With the inclusion of non-binaries, "transgender" could mean a person who is comfortable in their body uses the same name and pronouns they were assigned at birth, but likes to dress in a masculine way some days and a feminine way other days. That person would be making no drastic changes to their body and previously would probably just go about life identifying as cisgender but now, all of a sudden we have a word for that: gender fluid.

[@shortangel333]

Of course graphs have come out and younger generations are coming out more and more and people are confused but the 1980s-1990s had an epidemic where Gay men and Trans women were basically a target of a disease, they're would be more LGBTQ+ people but they're not with us because their lives were cut short. Also as always the identifying as left-handed chart comes out to show that once being left handed wasn't seen as a crime it started to show that around 25% of the population were left handed and it looked like a lot of people were "suddenly" left handed when they were just not being forced to be right handed.

This argument works for both sides and I’m all here for it

[@lobear3074]

@@amazingmrpig6369 whether it works for both sides isn’t the point. You see I’m not advocating for any particular side, I’m just sick and tired of people being obtuse. If I make a point, extremists on either side are just quick to blame and play victim, it’s pathetic, politicians nowadays do it a lot, especially conservatives atm but liberals and any part is guilty of doing it, that stupid “I’m not as bad as those guys thereby I’m a good person so vote for me” bs. When it comes to gender, and the transexual debate, the issue is that there is no discussion, just pointing fingers, that’s why I said it’s pointless arguing, to most these people, left or right wing, their minds are already convinced that the opposing side is their enemy, any meaningful conversation or middle ground is obsolete.

The appearance that I have been barred from. They inspire me to dress more feminine because those are people telling me, "I am beautiful when I look like this and so are you."

I'm 27 and only recently came out as non-binary. I've known for as far back as I can remember that I wasn't supposed to be a girl. That I should be a boy. And that only got 100x worse when I hit puberty. My parents aren't conservative or right wing, they are completely understanding of me now. The problem for me wasn't that being Trans is bad, or I'm going to hell.. it was that I didn't even know it was an option. I didn't know it was an option till Caitlyn Jenner came out (I know not the best influence, but it's what I had). So for me growing up, I just dealt with being a girl because what else am I gonna do? What I wouldn't give to go back and be like kids today, knowing that trans people exist, and that it's possible to live as the other gender and to actually feel like I belong!

I feel so bad for those two gay guys because of how misguided they are. It hurts to see it because I used to be heavily conservative as well (I’m a bi man).

Also nothing but love to trans people🤍

[@sophiepooks2174]

Agree, it is the same for many conservative trans folk as well, internalized transphobia is as bad as internalised homophobia/biphobia , but it makes sense when you realize everyone is groomed/indoctrinated into to being heterosexual from a very early age and anything else seen and even portrayed as abnormal and wrong.
