      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.

        You’d be surprised. I’ve 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.

          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.

              The “movement” has historically BEEN A PART OF EVERY RANDOM ALT THING and is growing to do exactly that! Acceptance is important. But I bet you get real butthurt when you see somebody dressed up like a cartoon animal at pride, huh?

                No it has not.

                And do you think a person who believes their Jesus should or should not be getting help?
