When Pride Parades are chanting โweโre here, weโre q****, weโre coming for your childrenโ, you canโt blame grooming accusers for believing that. ๐คข
Iโm of the opinion that โLGBโ backlash is directly in response to the Q-slur discourse. They see their radicalism, hypersexuality, attention-seeking behavior, and other stuff that disproportionately benefits cishets over LGBT people, and falsely assume that all trans people are q***rs.
When I think of โmainstream Q-slur discourseโ, I think of things like equivocating over microlabels while also claiming they donโt like labels, forcing the adoption of neopronouns when the singular they is already widespread and fills that role, giving transphobes excuse after excuse to misgender us in the form of โhe identifies as a womanโ and โheโs a she/her manโ, harassing and unpersoning anyone in the LGBT community when they even begin to stray from eat-the-rich communism, glorifying sexuality, et cetera et cetera.
I do not feel welcome in any community that calls itself that slur. I can explain my reasoning on why โpansexualโ is defined in terms of biphobic stereotypes, why โpronouns donโt equal genderโ allows an influx of attention-seeking cis people into the LGBT community, and why โtruscumโ are ostracized from the trans community despite being the definition of โtransgenderโ when it entered the public lexicon, if you want me to.
Eat the rich isn't strictly a "communist ideology".
Itโs one of the tamer examples, but itโs the truth that q**** discourse participants very often are quick to condemn anyone who disagrees with them for any reason as โq****phobicโ or worse, something that actually has meaning but is misused like โfascistโ, โhomophobeโ, โtransphobeโ, or โpedophileโ.
You do not have to be apart of every community, that sounds exhausting. I wouldn't feel welcomed in a lesbian meetup, so do not feel bad. It is good to have these in existence.
The problem is that there are no LGBT communities that are not called LGBTQ or overrun by q****s.
If pronouns are not for prescribing gender then what are they for?
I ask that to neopronoun users all the time.
If you want to be accepted in society then you explicitly need their acceptance. I see no reason why a cishet person should be barred from pride festivals, dragshows, or even LGBT tv shows.
Same, but Iโm thinking of cishets who claim to be โq****โ for no other reason than they feel like it.
My understanding of "truscum" is them believing that trans women aren't women.
That is false. You are confusing truscum with transgender deniers / TERFs / gender criticals.
I should probably learn how to do that formatting. It's easily understood. Do you mind linking me to where I could learn?

I have not really experienced that before. [...] I do not believe in evil. People are doing what they think is the best thing to do. Hurt people hurt people. If you treat hurt people with hostility, then you will get hostility in return. The online space is great for people to put their inner most thoughts. Everyone has random thoughts, and they can be destructive.
I believe that evil is when โwhat they think is the best thing to doโ intentionally hurts others.
To me I don't see that much difference between people who call themselves LGBT and people who call themselves the catch all term. But to someone who wishes to exclude them I understand that frustration.
If youโve been hurt by a slur, and someoneโs trying to cheapen the slur by including non-homosexual, non-bisexual, non-transgender people into the community with it as the excuse, and often not even recognizing it as a slur, youโd want it OUT.
I see no reason why a cishet person couldn't be the term you dislike. Sexuality tends to be one of the first things targeted in genocides.
You see no reason why a cishet person couldnโt creep into the community defined by not being a cishet, then?
I'm sorry I don't understand that term. Do you mind telling me what that is?
โTruscumโ is a pejorative for a trans person who defines the word โtransgenderโ as โa person who experiences gender dysphoria (distressing evidence of mismatching sex and gender identity), or someone who used to and has transitionedโ.
The opposite is โtucuteโ (also known as โtranstrenderโ) deriving from โtoo cute to be cisโ. It is someone who says anyone whosoever who says theyโre trans is trans, and you are an โexclusionistโ for thinking otherwise in any case. Tucutes call truscum โtransphobicโ, which is ironic because tucutes cheapen the word โtransgenderโ and ruin the integrity of the trans community from within and its public relations from without.

VIC police asked โWhat are pedestrians doing around 60 km/h zones?โ, while the correct question to pose was โWhat are 60 km/h zones doing around pedestrians?โ.
Anyone else feel oppressed by the Q-slur and feel that its widespread use harms LGBT rights more than it helps? It feels like every LGBT-adjacent โsafe spaceโ isnโt safe for those affected by the Q-slur, especially on Pride Month.
