@liontigerwings Reclaiming it gives another meaning, at least in the theory of reclaiming.

That’s not very user-friendly. And impractical for >99% of users.

I’ve heard of the term “copyleft”, which allows everyone EXCEPT corporations to use a certain work.

I should probably learn how to do that formatting. It's easily understood. Do you mind linking me to where I could learn?

Prepend > to each line of text. Look up “Markdown”.

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 “what they think is the best thing to do” 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 you’ve been hurt by a slur, and someone’s 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, you’d 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 couldn’t 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?

“Truscum” is a pejorative for a trans person who defines the word “transgender” as “a person who experiences gender dysphoria (distressing evidence of mismatching sex and gender identity), or someone who used to and has transitioned”.

The opposite is “tucute” (also known as “transtrender”) deriving from “too cute to be cis”. It is someone who says anyone whosoever who says they’re trans is trans, and you are an “exclusionist” for thinking otherwise in any case. Tucutes call truscum “transphobic”, which is ironic because tucutes cheapen the word “transgender” and ruin the integrity of the trans community from within and its public relations from without.

When Pride Parades are chanting “we’re here, we’re q****, we’re coming for your children”, you can’t blame grooming accusers for believing that. 🤢

Can that be done on a mobile device?

Eat the rich isn't strictly a "communist ideology".

It’s one of the tamer examples, but it’s the truth that q**** discourse participants very often are quick to condemn anyone who disagrees with them for any reason as “q****phobic” or worse, something that actually has meaning but is misused like “fascist”, “homophobe”, “transphobe”, or “pedophile”.

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 I’m thinking of cishets who claim to be “q****” 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.

VIC police asked “What are pedestrians doing around 60 km/h zones?”, while the correct question to pose was “What are 60 km/h zones doing around pedestrians?”.

When I think of “mainstream Q-slur discourse”, I think of things like equivocating over microlabels while also claiming they don’t 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 “he identifies as a woman” and “he’s a she/her man”, 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 “pansexual” is defined in terms of biphobic stereotypes, why “pronouns don’t equal gender” allows an influx of attention-seeking cis people into the LGBT community, and why “truscum” are ostracized from the trans community despite being the definition of “transgender” when it entered the public lexicon, if you want me to.

I’m of the opinion that “LGB” 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.

Many LGBT people can’t bring themselves to face the emotion caused by how widespread it is to be called the Q-slur.

The #1 source of irony in here is the sheer number of Republican men who were caught molesting boys.

There definitely is a god, and she just spoke to me that you’re an asshole and you’re going to Tartarus when you die.

Most people are born with teeth. That doesn’t mean that babies have teeth, nor that kids have adult teeth.

There’s also the fear of being fired or brutalized for being gay, so you win some you lose some.

Oh, so we’re gatekeeping which bi trans people get to be LGBT people just because they don’t agree with everything the mainstream does? I thought we agreed that it wasn’t an okay thing to do.

How’s anyone gonna cancel you for answering a fucking anonymous poll?

Honestly, even as a bi trans person, I’m horribly concerned and quite mad at how exponentially shamelessly sexualized LGBT (especially Q) merch has gotten over the years. It just feels tacky and like it wants to paint all LGBT people as hypersexual fetishist nymphomaniacs.
