Bullshit. That’s the same shit used against drag queens and crossdressers. People who were instrumental to lgbtq history. I’d have thought someone “not straight” would’ve known better.

Sexuality and gender are not the same as an animal.

Don’t compare them.

I’d suggest you read the g/acc manifesto. Some people do believe they’re animals and should be encouraged to express their kinship with them. Queering society as such is something you should be all for if you’re “not straight”. I say this as a trans woman who’s been around the community for a decade- identity is fucking complicated. Reductive logic like this is NOT applicable and actively harmful, even. therian/xenogender people, you’re fucking awesome and I love you all.

Uh no, those ones in particular should be getting legitimate psychiatric help, just like someone believing they’re Jesus should.

And they are not part of the community because they are not a sexuality or gender. Stop weakening the movement by lumping every random alt thing into it.

You’d be surprised. I’ve even encountered a lot of gay people who are against the ‘T’ or the ‘BT’ in LGBT.

Being gay certainly makes you more likely to be progressive, but I’ve learned it definitely doesn’t guarantee it.

Plenty of gay people are regressive, hateful fuckwits.
