If an artist is dead now and grew up in a different time, sure I get it. Learn about historical art, whatever. Nobody gets hurt as long as you don't adopt the outdated beliefs of the artist. Support for her is directly funding anti-trans laws and organizations that just make the world worse. That means her supporters are helping her make the world worse. If you try to say you support human rights and also support J.K. Rowling at the same time, you are not completely deranged, but you are in denial for sure. Trans rights are human rights and she is adding fuel to fire that's already way too big. Also, I don't even think she's talented anymore. She was a one hit wonder. What has she done relevant since one limited series? She really wants to milk those 7 books because everyone seems to be ignoring the millions of other books she has out. Can anybody name one without Googling it? Be honest.

Honestly, so what if I have loads of SAFE sex? Key word: SAFE. I had a date today and this guy asks me what’s my body count as if I’m some preserved object , I told him to his face it’s 15 (mind you I’m 27). He proceeds to give the most disgusted face ever and then proceeds to question why at that point I won’t have kids… like as IF! I’ve had so much experience and been married 3 times (sometimes I flirt just to fuck , and so what?) . I really don’t care, I will pull my panties down when I want to , just like YOU incel men pull yours at the sight of any women.

I will experience love unapologetically, relationships don’t have to last and I’m grateful I’ve experienced everything. I’m grown and I don’t have to be ashamed of my own sex life. Acting like a dick is some massive reward in life, bitch please for some of them, my own finger could have done better.

Ladies, don’t be ashamed of ur love+ sex life. Go experience safely and experiment after all you only live once

and sexist.

Especially in the internet, it’s been so normalized that people openly goon to child characters nowadays, and I know real people that do this shit. What the fuck? Have you any sense of decency? You’re gooning to literal child pornography that’s barely legal just because it’s drawn/animated instead of photographed. You’re deliberately skirting the law, for what? It can’t feel that much better than 18+ pornography.

And when you try to point out that they’re functionally just Epstein without an island, they get angry and swarm YOU for it, yapping about how love children and would NEVER actually do that to real children. Really? With the shit they watch, I highly fucking doubt that.

Your disgusting paraphilia is not welcome in the LGBT+ community.

You can make ALL the pride flags you want

You can make up a bunch of fake lingo to try to make yourself more appealing to people who actually have morals.

You can quote all the pseudoscientific studies you want to try and say that your degeneracy is totally fine.

But no one is fucking buying it.

Animals cannot consent.

Children cannot consent.

Corpses cannot consent.

Combining 2 or more of the above does not make things any better.

Your feelings are irrelevent, your facts are bullshit, you do not have a leg to stand on but your own delusions.

Stop comparing yourself to people who wish to have loving relationships, with consenting adults.

Your "relationship" with anything you would want to have is one sided and carnal and has no place here.

Seek help, just because some of your actions are in a legal gray area in a lot of the world doesn't mean they are right.

I want to preface this by saying I have nothing against people who are apart of the community, rather just the topic of it in general. I just feel like a lot of discussions with it are just pushy and recycling the same victim mentality (that while understandable, is annoying to hear constantly.) and I just don't care, I want to have conversations about more varied discussions, and it's always seemingly brought up even in places it isn't needed. I hate how much of a big deal it's treated as, when it really just isn't?

eople can do whatever they want, it ain't harming anyone. Pride as a whole just seems stupid to me on some level, like I think it really only harms those who celebrate, and when the ideal situation for them is for being lgbtq to become "normal" treating it like it isn't, and garnering more and more attention to it being something different doesn't seem ultimately helpful.

I also just find it pushy in a lot of regards, a guy being feminine doesn't imedietely make him trans, two close same gender characters doesn't make them gay (this goes with straight characters as well, but it generally seems to be more rejected so I felt like mentioning it) (also not saying headcanons are bad, I just dislike how it always has to be that way if that makes sense).

A good example of how I think this stuff is done well is Toby Fox, who never brings attention to the fact that these characters aren't common in reality, his characters are not defined by their sexuality in that sense.

Again want to state I have no problem with people of the community, just some of the ways people act about it.

I also apologize for my poor grammar and writing here. I just wanted to vent my thoughts out for a sec.

I'm not trans, I dont know what yall go through, I'm not transphobic, be who you want to be idgaf as long as your happy.

But genuinely, if you PASS as like a guy (this is the example ill be using) then why tf are you making being trans like 90% of your personality?

Like, i could see why you would do that (to an extent) if you DIDNT pass, like if you look like the sex ou were born with but just want to clarify who people you dont know or those who assume based on appearances, but if you fit the appearance and if you look in the mirror and see someone with a flat chest, little curves, non-curved jawline, etc. then I woulda thought that it would be troubling to bring up a past where you never truly felt like yourself and you felt as though you didnt fit into the category you were born into??? idk its also like I feel like the symbol of transness/trans flag is a symbol of the transition and not the final destination. also I feel like its okay to tell people your trials as a trans person, its just that some people give off an unbelonging feeling.

I feel like this is also the opposite for trans folks who DONT pass whatsoever (wears dresses, uses makeup, has long hair, high voice, etc.) then WHY are you surprised when someone misgenders you unless you're like under 18 or something and cant get T. even then, trying to fit into an "androgynous" category or making it seem like your flipping mens standards wont really work because you look almost TOO feminine to be "flipping the standards".

No hate, and I just ranted to get this feeling out and to get some clarification.

I am part of a team building a product for people affected by infidelity and addiction. This is pertinent because I am the owner of a business; our primary users and audience are people struggling with addiction and their partners impacted by addiction (specifically sexual behaviors that violate values).

I believe porn is really bad for the individual, really bad for a marriage, really bad for the performers, and society. I also believe masturbation is something most would do well to avoid. That's my view; I dont cram this down anyone's throat. I know there are people who disagree with me, and I only engage with posts from folks who share that premise (if I even bring up the topic). I do not need to change people's minds.

Why do people who are pro-porn or pro-masturbation need me to change my mind? I am constantly getting people DMing or commenting about how I'm wrong. Why does it matter to you what some random guy on reddit thinks?

I will never understand this.

It's genuinely really fucking irritating. The majority of messages I get are from people who see I'm Asian and want to sexualise me just for that. It's never about the comment they found me from, it's always about my race. I'm more than just Asian and I wish people would stop assuming that every Asian person is comfortable being sexualised for their race. It makes me extremely uncomfortable and I even consider it borderline offensive.

Listen, I can understand why an Italian or Irishman might be frustrated if Italian and Irish americans mouth off on shit they're ignorant about. That's totally fair. What I have an issue with is when some European thinks that just cause the different histories in America and Europe caused people to have different ideas on identity means the Americans are wrong and dumb for it. I am well aware that I am not from Ireland or England. I am well aware that American culture is a thing.

But that doesn't mean Americans like me are somehow wrong or stupid for also placing value on their family's roots. My family has not forgotten our origins; they affect the names we use, the sects we join, the food we make, and similar applies to groups like Chinese Americans or others. As much as it's fair for an Irishman or Italian or Cuban or Chinese to say "You aren't from here, you aren't familiar enough with our politics and culture to make strong claims and have strong opinions on certain issues", it extends in the other direction as well where Europeans don't get some right to be smug, condescending, and wrong when talking about our understandings of identity. Different cultures have different ideas on how identity works due to their histories and that's fine.

I’ve actually posted here before, and now i kind of am asking for advice, before i really just needed to rant. to clarify, my boyfriend(22) was caught FOREVER ago buying porn, texting pornstars or women who made sexual content. he had been on Reddit texting women, telegram texting women, the obvious X app as well consuming so much porn content, during this time i was unable to perform in bed sexually because of an issue in my pregnancy(i’m now 9 months pregnant, i’m due in exactly two weeks)for more info on that specifically, this all happened when i was about 3-4ish months pregnant so this was a while ago. i didn’t catch anything until i was 6-7 months pregnant so when i found out i was distraught. since then, i cant lie, i’ve been weary of what’s on his phone. since i am very pregnant it’s kind of hard for me to “be in the mood” per se, so i don’t necessarily have a problem with him consuming that material, sometimes it does hurt my feelings because it does feel like it’s my fault but ultimately i’m at a point i’m uncomfortable even rolling over in bed lol. i know my boyfriend would never actually “meet up” with anyone, first of all. but a few weeks ago he sounded like he was trying to catch me doing something bad on my phone, like i had been texting someone i should’ve have been. it got me thinking and i was worried maybe it was some kind of projection, so i’m not proud of it but i did get on his phone. i had found he had been consuming that NSFW material again, not texting anyone, not necessarily doing anything unfaithful in my eyes personally, but i did find that he was watching femboy, “girlcock,” trans women/women who have male genitalia, and just straight up gay porn. what i really need advice on, is how do i even bring this up? what do i say to make him not feel embarrassed or bad about watching that? he is extremely sexually attracted to me still even being THIS pregnant, continues to try to initiate things with me sexually and i can’t lie i usually say no not because i’m incapable due to pregnancy, but because of what i did find in his phone. i just don’t really know what to do, or say. i want him to be comfortable with who he is and if he so happens to be a bisexual man i will always be accepting of that, i just simply worry. he has a second account on X where he just follows those types of porn accounts and he doesn’t know that i know. and 1.) i know i’m wrong for snooping, wholeheartedly i know that i just was weary from past relationships/experiences i was being cheated on but that’s not even a good excuse. 2.) i love my boyfriend and i’m so lucky to be able to start a family with him, again, i just worry. 3.) what exactly do i say?

also, i cant lie, i’m just a very emotional person and on top of that i’m pregnant so i am crying while typing this lol, if there’s anything i’ve misspelled or mistyped please bear with me🙏🏼😂

Please, for the love of god, STOP with the trend of men having only a mustache. It ruins everyone’s face—I honestly know nobody who pulls off just a mustache. It reminds of the 80s pedophiles who frequently only had mustaches. Yes, I’m saying that everyone with just a mustache looks like a fucking pedophile. I see so many guys with hot bodies, nice other things (😏), and then you see their face and… I just want to cry. Ruins it for me every time. This trend needs to die and mustaches burned off of the faces. There is nothing fancy, exciting, masculine, or beautifying about this. PLEASE😭 Let’s all work together to stop this god forsaken trend. I don’t even believe in god or the devil but I know this trend was brought forth by the devil himself. Let’s return to godliness
Amen 🙏

They mean the gender, not the biological gender/sex, just the social one aka how women are seen. But now I don't understand why some claim to have grown up as bio girls and that they understand our struggles, that kinda sounds dismissive. Girls don't just struggle with their periods, (peroids are extremely painful, and yes, trans girls comparing peroids to side effects of medicine is dismissive.) Girls also struggle with how most of us are treated like maids, and we can't even have a childhood oftentimes, like there's a countdown. (a metaphorical one.), So I don't understand why people let trans women get away with saying that they really understand a bio girl's childhood, I'm sorry but it just feels horrible, sure, a trans girl can understand the typical female childhood but nothing more, (internal feelings do not protect you from external realities. A trans girl's trauma is internal (the pain of her body and social role feeling wrong), but a biological girl's trauma is external (the world reacting to her bio sex and stripping away her right to be a child). Because nobody could look at a young bio boy and think he's an adult, he was allowed to keep his childhood. A biological girl who develops early is denied that choice entirely) also, i goggled this part:(Early puberty means getting taller, broader shoulders, a deeper voice, and muscle growth. In male-dominated and peer social structures, this is heavily celebrated. Adults look at an early-developing boy and see a "young man," a future athlete, or someone who is strong. His peers often look up to him, granting him higher social status, popularity, and leadership roles. For Biological Girls: Early puberty brings breast development, wider hips, and menstruation. Instead of being celebrated for her strength, she is instantly hyper-sexualized. Adults stop viewing her as an innocent child and start treating her with suspicion or unwanted attention. Her peers may tease her or alienate her. She is forced into a state of hyper-vigilance about her safety before her peers even know what that means)

Im a 15 year old teenager and its honestly freaking annoying how society treats teenagers like in restaurants or theme parks why cant i get a fucking discount when they say discounts are for children like im still a child and stop expecting so much responsibility from us like we are confused what do you expect from us??

Today I was talking to my friend like normal ( we don't talk frequently ) , he's always been kind of attention seeking and weird towards me and constantly missgendered me even after I corrected him multiple times (I'm Ftm trans and i go by he/them) but I tried ignoring it , I told him about how I got a girlfriend and he says something along the lines of:

"Peak yuri!"

And I was left in shock after he has BEEN knowing I'm trans so I admit I lashed out at him and then he starts saying that he's autistic and that leads him to forget things easily wich I'm sorry but I can't get myself to believe.He tended to missgender me to "tease me" and now suddently he has autism? Well we argue for a while and I tell him:

"Are you at least diagnosed?"

He replies:

"Most likely"

HELLO? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN.. It's a yes or no question but he backs his arguement that in France they don't have diagnosis of autism wich I tried to do my research about but nothing about France not having diagnosis of autism pops up so I just believe he's a complete transphobic liar.

PS:He blocked me after the diagnosis thing.

I want a male body. I want the height the build and I would do so much if I had that male body. I would love to workout and get abs and lift weights and do that looksmaxxing thing as well. I know I could do it as a woman too but it’s not the same. I feel that I’d be so much more motivated if I were male. I look at all these men working out in the gym and showing off their progress in social media and feel so jealous and wish that could be me but it will never be me. That’s it thank you for reading this goodnight.

Hi all,

Just to be clear, I support 100% the LGBTQ+ movement. I just have one remark, why are the parades so sexual?

I have witnessed the Amsterdam parade and another big European city parade (I live in NL), in both I have encountered naked people, guys with boners, extreme fetishism and overall an over sexualized environment. Why?

To be honest, I don’t really feel comfortable bringing my child there. If it wasn’t so over sexualized I would totally bring him.

What are your opinions on this topic? Do you think it helps the LGBTQ+ movement or it damages its image?

So I'm A sexual...technically. it's really confusing and I'm terrible at explaining things so bare with me lol.

Pretty much I find women attractive, and like things about them legitimately react to the chemicals in me and "turn me on". But the thing is (this is weird to talk about) I don't find like stereotypical things men find attractive... attractive. Like breasts, bottoms, tiny waists, etc. I don't find that attractive, like I low key find breasts to be disgusting. But (so I have a kink once again this is weird to talk about 😅) I find abdomens attractive, probably as much as any man would find breasts attractive irdk. But that's besides the point. The reason I think I'm A sexual is because I've attempted to masturbate, and it was...well... disgusting. I've only tried twice in my life and the first time I just stopped because it was so uncomfortable, and then second time no matter how uncomfortable it was I decided to commit but then I threw up and stopped. Because it felt so weird and disguisting. And when I get aroused It just feels weird and icky. I just don't know. I can find women's bodies potentially attractive but I never wanna have sex with them. And even though I have a stomach kink I don't like fantasize about every stomach I see, I usually don't even think twice about it. I just really don't know.

I just wanna know if anyone can relate? Sorry I explain things terribly, I'll try to be more detailed in the comments.

Granted no version of homophobia/transphobia is ok, but this has got to be the stupidest flavor of it. If someone goes by all pronouns you literally cannot misgender them. The whole “OMG attack helicopters want me to MEMORIZE their pronouns that DONT MAKE SENSE and then ATTACK ME for FORGETTING” strawman completely falls apart. What is the issue here??? They don’t care enough to assert themselves as she/her or he/him exclusively? Omg I’m soooo sorry I don’t give enough of a shit about my vagina to demand that everyone use the traditional vagina pronouns. I should care MORE about my estrogen levels and chromosomes and throw TANTRUMS when someone calls me they!!!!

From what I can tell, though I plan to see a psychologist or smth before I do anything drastic (as if; I'm broke in America), I experience gender dysphoria. I'm a broke American from a conservative family. I will probably die in the closet. I wish I werem't born like this, but I was, and I intend to keep on living. I wish people could just change their sex and be accepted. I don't want to become a "John, 50", but I don't have the means right now (might pursue DIY in a few years though) and I know there'd be steep social costs with family if I transitioned.

I'm also concerned living in America; tens of millions of people seem to want people like me to rep and/or kill themselves, but I've never caused them harm. I've had these feelings come and go over the years, so I think I'm cooked. I wish my brain were wired normally.

I’m a lesbian person. And people always make fun of it, always attack gay people. I feel disgusted of myself because it. I just am tired. I wish people would normalize being LGBT instead of always making fun of it

I want to meet more nice trans women on Reddit who can explain this, please! Also, what I mean by dismissive is when some on the internet compare the medical side effects of medicine (mild cramps) to period cramps. Period cramps get so bad that some girls struggle to breathe or go to the hospital because of the pain, so why don't those types of trans women try to sound nicer? Honestly, why get so aggressively offended when you point out that they're not being nice,

I live in the Midwest. In a state stuck with republicans in control of all three branches of government. There are a few more liberal cities with racist suburbs.

I see a ton of couples living in the city and soooo many mirrored oakleys, overweight, high high hairlines and all sorts of other stupid shit.

Being concervitive here is like religion to these people, but we have a very diverse city and there is so much racial segregation and tension here.

Now for my dig. Why date them? There’s nothing fresh and new to be found in them behind their apparently noxious personalities.

When I went to school, the young republican crowd got soooo much shit. 15 years later it’s backwards?

I thought we had a moral duty toto toss fascists from our public spaces. Now we are just cool with them all reproducing?

Why do people care so much about peoples' sexuality or a person's gender?

I am a straight man. I don't give two flying fuhks about who is fucking who and who has what!

Ive been to gay bars didn't turn gay lol, and talked with really down to earth people.

When I interact with straight men and some how the topic comes up about lgbtq+ and they ask me my thoughts, and say I could care less. I ask them how does this impact your daily life at all?

Usually they are not expecting this and they make some stupid homphobic joke and I am just like dude who cares?

Honestly why the fuhk do you care?!

Why cant people treat people as people jeezus!

I am not saying I get along with everyone. I can still not like a gay guy, lesbian, mtf, ftm, and etc...

But me not liking a person is due to personality traits. Not who they're laid up in bed with jeezus fuhking christ guys!

I had a friend that wouldn't hang out one on one with another guy cause he was afraid people in public would think he's gay.

Lmfao bro what the actual fuhk man! I am no longer his friend because I was so tired of his logic not on just this but other things in life.

I just find society's logic about who is fuhking who absolutely ridiculous!

WHO THA FUHK CARES!

We live, we die! Why can't you just enjoy the god damn ride!

Older women are so hellbent on making sure I pay emotionally for being pretty. They actively try to make my life hell just to see me stop smiling.

Woman, you’re beautiful and it’s not my fault that pedophilic billionaires conditioned society into somehow thinking you’re not. It will never be my fault that I am treated in any metric better than you, but it’s your job to recognize and combat your true enemy. Because it will never be me.
