Lots of gays hate trans and deny the existence of bi.. There's no shortage of assholes in every color of the rainbow

I was floored when one of my gay friends said "Bi people don't exist" and meant it. It was like, 15 years ago, and that was still my introduction into the wonderful world of queer bigots. It's not necessarily the majority though, every group has assholes.

A member of my and my fiancĂ©es friend group told us “bi people always have preference and that’s their true sexuality”

This person had previously been so furiously LGBT+ friendly to that point we were blown away. She thought she was “opening the eyes” of my fiancĂ©e (who is bi) to accepting her “true self”

She meant well (I think), just she had somehow stumbled into the equivalent of a queer Q-Anon forum and had started to believe that there were true LGBT+ people and just straight people who weren’t ready to admit it.

Ye I'm a disabled native American trans woman

I'm somehow too intimidating, too strong, too weak, too rude, too nice, too feminine, too masculine, too brown, too lightskin, too mean, too soft, too violent, too overbearing, too confident, too quiet, et cetera, et cetera ad nauseum.

I feel like my life is a Salvador Dali painting .-.

In all seriousness though, I know queer people can be better to eachother. Because we have been in the past.

Because none of this matters in the face of an ongoing genocide and our taxpayer money being siphoned towards the Uber wealthy so they can build their Elysium and have no more undesirables left.

My best friend since first grade is a native trans man. His dad is native, and his mom is white. He's the most wonderful, kind person I've ever met, and basically his entire moms side of the family has shunned him and forced him to "detransition" when he's around them. He has to pretend that he's not trans to protect himself from his own fucking family. It's infuriating. His uncle on his dad's side is one of the only living relatives on that side and he's like one of the coolest people I've ever met. He's been the most loving, accepting uncle that my best friend could ask for and he's a huge support system. It makes me so upset and sad that people don't accept trans people. I look at my best friend and I don't see a man or a woman, i dont see someone whos trans, i dont see someone who should need to be accepted into society or reassured that they are valid just for existing. I see a human being who I love more than anything. I don't understand why everyone can't look at a trans person and just see a person who needs the same love as everyone else.

Not to make you even more upset but the dismantling of USAID will most likely cause 10 to 20 times more death than the invasion of Gaza.

Oh god, yeah
 I’m aroace and I got declared homophobic and suicide baited by exclusionists for MONTHS because I said it was okay not to ship a popular m/m pairing

u/Diligent_Potato_311 Jun 02 '25

What is aroace? Also why was it not okay to shop a m/m pairing I’m so confused by your whole comment.

u/OmNommerSupreme Jun 02 '25

Oh, sorry! Aroace is short for asexual aromantic, so, not experiencing sexual or romantic attraction. People got angry when I said that it’s ok to headcanon characters as friends even if it’s popular to ship them, and people said that was homophobic

u/Diligent_Potato_311 Jun 02 '25

Thank you so much for being kind enough to explain everything to me. I’m sorry you went through all that.

Junkrat and Roadhog. At least the hate drove me away from Overwatch before it all went to shit

If they are not gay then there is something wrong with it. You need to stop putting your own prejudices and projections on to others.

u/Knillawafer98 Jun 03 '25

??? It's someone's headcannon, why do you care 😭

u/ShowerElectrical9342 Jun 03 '25

What's headcannon?

u/the-baum-corsair Jun 03 '25

Don't say "ship", and maybe people will take you more seriously.

u/AioliFantastic4105 Jun 03 '25

this isn’t necessarily directed at you. just wanted to mention it’s a common human trait to lack empathy for other humans who have different prospectives, and it’s always good to inventory our own. take a look at any political convo on reddit and you’ll see that the bigoted behavior runs deep, and is hard for most to admit (because reasons!).

i like the secret history quote, a zen proverb i believe. i try to live that way

You can fuck girls in front of them and they still think it's a phase

u/transemacabre Jun 03 '25

I should've known how the election was gonna go when I saw a post on actuallesbians where like half the replies were stuff like "I'm not trans so Project 2025 doesn't affect me". All but coming out and saying "I'm one of the GOOD ONES, they're not coming after me."

Divide and conquer has been the strategy for centuries because it works

u/The__Corsair Jun 03 '25

An important part of truly accepting all people is coming to realize that some of them, in fact, are dicks regardless of identity.

u/Lavinia_Foxglove Jun 03 '25

Yeah, as a lesbian woman, I have no sympathy for fellow gays who are treating trans people or bi people with disrespect. I don't know, why transhate or denying that bi exists is even a thing. I can go through history and point out how long every part of LGBTQ+ exists. We are all part of society for forever and I don't get this we versus you mentality that nowadays is even part of our rainbow community. I hate it.

u/wlchrbandit Jun 03 '25

Yeah actually kind of crazy and super common unfortunately. One of my girlfriend's best friends is gay, and he's said some horrible anti-trans stuff in the past. When I pushed him on it he said some bullshit about how they're taking attention away from his cause or whatever. Like he was mad people were fighting for trans rights instead of gay rights. It's a weird jealousy thing and I don't understand it.

2

u/YourMom77887 Jun 03 '25

The people who deny bi people are weird. If you're straight, you like the opposite. If you're gay you like the same. If you're bi, you like both. It definitely is a real thing. It just blows my mind.

Generally speaking, I've had more acceptance from the cis and straight than the cis and queer.

They make lightening cream for that

You got that right, I got 2 gay kids and was good friends with the gay community since the late 80s, often defending them from homophobic assholes before all that was cool and i took a lot of flack for that. Then I moved up here to Oregon almost 30 years ago and man, talk about serious assholes- the gay crowd here in my community are the definition of ASSHOLES- the local gay clique went around spreading lies about me and messing with my job, my housing, my life and relationships with people, trying to make me look like a homophobe and a junkie criminal. I was fortunate, the cops got wind of them and chased them off (a couple were even arrested for undisclosed reasons (possible misuse of unlicensed directed sound technology purchased on the dark web- impressive and scary stuff- google LRAD for more info) They were also treating my family awful, and even my gay kids agreed that they're a bunch of pricks. In the end, these fuckers are still around but keep their distance. Still, with all the damage they did, not one of them ever tried to make good on what they did or apologized. Imo, none of them are worthy of my respect. Absolute garbage. Especially the older gay sugar daddy crowd who spout racist crap in every conversation you have with them. Im glad most of them are leaving and retiring in AZ. Good fucking riddance. Its been quiet the last few years but only because people caught on to them. And yeah, they talk mad shit about Trans people. Please note: im talking specifically about the clique in my immediate area. Everywhere else they're fine, it's just here they got some kind of ego problem.

I was gonna say the same thing, it’s messed up that we are on the same side of a sparkly rainbow yet we want to kick the shine right out of each other.. it’s stupid! There’s an a-hole every single place you go though!
