The support for LGBT is dropping for the first time in ages thanks to TRA's and nonbinaries.

It's biphobic, hilariously and ironically misogynist ("Women who don't like radical feminism, are straight/bi, or don't do things My Way are evil harpies who are collaborating with the evil men to oppress me") anti-intersex and anti mentally ill.

You can't go five minutes into any radfem community without seeing a post that shits on bi people, intersex people, non radical feminist women, straight women, mentally ill people, or probably other groups too.

They have a few good ideas, like being anti porn/prostitution and anti gender, but honestly thats such a small part of it, it's mostly about claiming to be an inherent victim as a privileged white woman in a first world country, freaking out over non issues like "OH MY GOD THIS BI WOMAN CALLED HERSELF A BUTCH I AM LITERALLY BEING OPPRESSED, THIS EVIL FUCKING HANDMAIDEN" and barely paying much attention, if any, to worldwide women's issues.

You can support the few and far between good parts of radical feminism without subscribing to that toxic mess. The same goes for TRAs. A lot of TRAs are actually anti pedo and occassionally have good takes about mental health. This does not mean their ideology isn't a shitshow.

Bisexual women really shouldn't be calling themselves butch or femme, these are lesbian culture terms.

Lesbian culture should be respected.

Lmao there is no gay and lesbian "culture", sit the fuck down. I'll start caring about a "culture" that doesn't really exist when people - ESPECIALLY LGBT - stop trashing MY country and people's culture.

Literally no one is harmed by calling themselves "Butch". People ARE harmed by being called words they DONT want to be labeled, for example, gay men referring to me as a "Femboi" or "twink" or everyone referring to me as "A gay". But you guys don't see the problem with that. So hypocritical.

This is why people have issues with LGBT. This is why rates of acceptance of homosexuality are going down and why even homosexuals like me are becoming against it. The loudest LGBT voices are people like you who make an issue out of nothing.

No I won't "sit the fuck down".

You whinge about a straight person saying the gays or straights (seriously) but you want some bi chick to be able to refer to herself as butch/femme when there's history behind the terms.

Nah I'm sorry you're being ridiculous, people have every right to criticize that.

You sound like you belong back at Reddit.

LMAO at this guy 😂. Their argument essentially boils down to:-

"How dare you suggest words could be harmful in this particular context, how unreasonable! Nothing at all like how harmful the words are in this other context, that impacts me specifically. Waa!"

It's worse than that, it's a fucking guy having the audacity to lecture lesbians on words important to our culture.

I blocked his stupid ass.

Anyway 😘

Lol "history."

There's hateful history behind the term "gays" too but you don't care about that. Stop being a hypocrite. You can't claim to "literally be oppressed" by someone else "stealing your word" but tell the rest of us to shut up when we're hurt by being called a disrespectful one.

You get to choose. Either all words are good and nobody is allowed to be offended. Or people can be upset by words and that means you don't get to call people whatever you want. Can't go both ways.

You are literally doing just that yourself.

This topic is way too personal now, with speaking about posters, not issues themselves.

I'm not though? I don't get upset over people "stealing my words" because... no words can be "stolen" and no word in this context I have any emotional connection to.

I don't give a fuck if a bi person (or straight person or asexual or whatever) calls themself "gay." I don't even like the term "gay." They can even call themselves "Homosexual", which would be factually incorrect but hey, it's not my problem lmao

Can you like calm down for 5 seconds? LMAO you could actually be making good points if you weren't so hysterical about them

That's pretty rich for this sub, which has a fucking mental breakdown every time a bi person calls him/herself gay or lesbian, or when someone says they don't give a shit about "gay history" or LGB alliance.
