I play boardgames with a gay couple. The only way you can tell they are gay by long at them is if they are kissing or holding hands. Granted they are from the pre legal era.

First off, thanks so much for non LGBT people that have our back. It means a lot to us.

I find a lot of straight cis think trans are under threat, but LGBs don't have problems. We do. The antis are going for trans because it's easy, if they succeed they'll go for us too. There's loads of homophobia around for example Colleagues might not say anything anti but they're behaviour shows it.

I find a lot of people don't understand how horribly painful and frightening things are for trans. They think it's just not nice, but don't understand that trans people are having to cope with constant media attacks, exclusion and knowing that many antis would cause them physical harm if they could. It's terrifying.

Things aren't great for us, especially trans.

this. Its also glaringly obvious that they're recycling all the arguments they used against LGBs and using them against trans people.

Yep! And it's notable the manosphere is going for them. The manosphere is linked to racism, ableism, and basically many bigotries. Trans are just vulnerable

my sexuality doesn’t define me. my hatred for capitalism does.

We are not monolith.
