Reply to comment by boobs in if lgbt people's existence offends you, then fuck off. by gamergirl

yeah. you shouldn't give a shit if anyone is gay. i'm in favour.
this forum isn't here to insist that everyone should care, it's here for lgbt people to talk about shit that's specific to lgbt people.

lgbt people are just like everyone else, except for their experience of sexuality/gender.

I've never heard of non-lgbt people having to deal with receiving hate for their sexuality for one.

If everyone is like everyone else and no one has anything specific to them since we're all the same... why have any forums at all?

gamergirl OP wrote

people who share experiences talking about said experiences is not identity politics.

boobs wrote

of course it isn't.

you know what is? using terms like non-lgbt or non-white. that shit doesn't help anyone.

gamergirl OP wrote

how would you describe people that are not lgbt then?

boobs wrote

straight?

Rose wrote (edited )

That just covers the sexuality part.

boobs wrote

is there any other parts? does it also come with an economic, political and religious component or something? what am i missing here?

Rose wrote (edited )

Gender. Straight is usually just to reference sexuality. There is the word "cis" for that but I don't tend to see it used that often outside of specific spaces. Saying non-lgbt was just quicker. Admittedly I was just talking about sexuality there, but you can apply a similar idea to gender.

pretty sure gender is understood to mean sexuality by everyone and their dog?

Rose wrote

No? Sexuality is the gender you are attracted to. Gender is more of a sense of self thing.

2

boobs wrote

isn't sexuality a sense of self thing?

3

Rose wrote

I guess, but gender is a lot more about the self, rather than others.

Rose wrote (edited )

You did ask for something exclusive to lgbt people.

read that post again please.

i am not asking for something that is exclusive to lgbt people. i asked if people experiencing sexuality differently is exclusive to lgbt.

Rose wrote

Hmm. Misread the view on that then. But you did ask earlier:

shit that's specific to lgbt people.

which is what?

having poor reading comprehension is regrettable indeed.

what are you talking about? what exactly is hateful and aggressive about telling people who disagree with my existence to hide this forum and move on?

boobs wrote

i think he's alluding to the gender nazi problem in the lgbt community.

2

gamergirl OP wrote

based on their other comment, I'm pretty sure they're insinuating that i'm hateful and aggressive.

3

boobs wrote

maybe instead of assuming you know what their intent is you could ask them to clarify what they mean?

2

gamergirl OP wrote

I mean, 'your kind of aggressive behaviour' doesn't really need clarification.

boobs wrote

try to keep an open mind regardless.
