Re: LGBTQ+ |OT| The plus stands for everything

By Fenderputty Go To PostSup bummed about the religious liberty EO. Hopefully the ACLU can drag out what it entails and act accordingly.

Welcome to the place. As Morris said, someone's here if you need anything.

Same. I'm almost a little desensitized to it because the reality is that us queer folk are always preparing for the worst, so when shit like this happens, it hardly fazes me.

By brainchild Go To PostI've been meaning to say this earlier, but as a fellow member of this community, I just want to apologize on behalf of us cis-gender queer folk who have the audacity to treat trans people like shit. The hypocrisy is astounding; you'd think people like us would have enough experience to draw from in order to have empathy for someone who is transgender, but no. They can't support something that they can't understand. Well that's not the case with me. You have my full, unwavering support. I mean that

That is very sweet of you to say and I really appreciate it ^_^ but I don't want you to feel like you have to apologise for other people's actions. It does suck though that within the community there is a lot of hate. I know people who shy away and don't feel part of the community because of it.

I try not to apologize for other people because I'm only responsible for my own actions/inactions but I feel so bad knowing how trans people are treated even within our community so I guess that was my way of expressing that. I just wanted you (and others in similar situations) to know that you have my support.
