Lesbians and gay men are like two opposite universes. Who would have thought that one day some of us would pretend to be the other :D

Two different experiences so why do people lump the two together and claim that it's the same?

That I never understood. It's so obviously different but homosexual men and women are supposed to understand each other perfectly because "uwu LGB(T) solidarity". It doesn't make any sense.

People are gonna get mad over this, but honestly, this trans crap wouldn't be a problem if people didn't pretend there was a "gay community" to begin with. If all separate issues were treated separately... the problem never would have taken off.

It's odd to me how pretty much any trait or interest is supposedly a "community" nowadays. I don't think it used to be like that. It throws me off to see people saying "the [literally any hobby, interest, or identity trait] community." I look at all kinds of stuff online because I'm interested in a lot of things.

I have some niche interests and the amount of gossip within these "communities" is ridiculous. I just want to look into hobbies I'm into and constantly see gossip shit like, "Did you hear what so and so of the 'community' did?" and 9 times out of 10 I've never even fucking heard of that person and have no idea what everyone is up in arms about. Along with shit like, "We're a family!" No you're fucking not, and I grew up with enough emotional abuse from actual family, I'm not going to feel safe in a place I just want to talk about a hobby and people are more interested in gossip and punishing the non majority viewpoints! I try to get out more and meet people but I've tried and left so many groups over this shit.

I don't want to "join a community" over every separate interest and every separate aspect of my personality. Why does it seem like that's what's expected anymore? I don't have the time, energy, or patience for that. When did this shift start? It probably has to do with the decline of in person community for people to feel a part of, and we're social creatures, so I get it. But it's exhausting and I hate it.

It really fucking bothers me when people refer to "The [disability or medical condition] community." Like... what? Now I'm not physically disabled myself, but I do have mental health issues, and I don't want that to be my defining trait! I think most people with illnesses and disabilities just want to feel normal, more or less, and enjoy things that the rest of the world does.

The "We're your new family now" thing that the LGB(T) does is honestly cult-like, I can't stand it. I never really had a family, only a mother who I lost at a young age, but even I'm not going to trust a bunch of strangers online to be my new "family" just because they supposedly, kind of, share a sexuality with me. Sometimes. But also not because G is only one of those letters. And I don't even relate to most other gay men anyway, let alone the other letters. So how we're supposed to be a "family" I can't comprehend.

The only family-like behavior I see from them is them judging me and telling me that I'm not good enough, telling me what to do and how I should think, feel, and behave. But that's not a healthy family, by any means.
