You don't see gays/lesbians demanding that straight people should date us.

We also don't call straight people homophobics because they don't want to date/sleep with us BECAUSE WE'RE GAY.

We also don't threaten physical and sexual violence on straight women when they don't agree with us/or even when they are homophobic.

We don't compare them to nazis.

We don't demand their spaces or spaces that only cater to them.

But I know a group that does all of this and more.

And frankly the community doesn't even admit it. They'll spend the day saying these things, but when confronted about it people will say "oh no, nobody is forcing you to date trans", "nobody actually says that", etc.

I don't know at this point if people are lying to others or just lying to themselves and pretending not to see things. Probably both.
