Welcome to /c/Gay - Your LGBTQ+ Haven

We're more than just a community; we're your haven for celebrating LGBTQ+ culture and connecting with like-minded individuals.

Community Rules:

~ 1. No bigotry. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 4. Keep it LGBTQ+ related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love posts but 3-4 in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.

Someone I have to interact with tries to pull this double speak and it's not only infuriating, but so uncomfortable and unsettling.

I'm not saying that I don't believe that you can't change your gender... But if someone said that it wasn't possible that would make them transphobic? I just feel like you look to be validated whereas I don't care if people know that I'm gay/bisexual.

That's kinda how it works!!! I'm trans and would like to be gendered correctly! (Something he struggles with also). I've been bad about voice training, but I don't get misgendered in public, so I'd say the unfortunately public process of transitioning has a validation component to it.

These fucks try to use double speak to absolve themselves of any accountability while "just asking questions". Ugh
