For most of my life, "gender" was simply the everyday synonym for "sex", for contexts where saying "sex" would feel inappropriate

conservative people

At this point, with the amount of damage/bullshit both GC and TRA have done, I rather have conservatives telling me I need to be feminine.

I need to be feminine.

I read that "I need to be feline" :D

I dunno, frankly I find both quite bad. The difference is that I can talk about conservative homophobes on most "LGBT spaces" while talking about homophobia from the other side is a taboo.

If anything, one of the TQ+ issues is that they "forget" how much LGB are targeted by conservative homophobes, so that they can claim TQ+ is more oppressed.

Yeah, getting nostalgic for "old school" homophobia isn't productive. They're just as bad, they're just less annoying because they aren't infiltrating us

And because we're adults, I might add. It's easier to ignore conservative homophobia being an adult since I can often avoid being in conservative spaces or dealing with conservative people.

Still, I'm very much aware of this depending on which place of the city I'm walking. Some neighborhoods are far from gay friendly.

These two "sides" of homophobia help each other.

Exactly lol with all these freaks and narcissists being the face of the community now conservatives probably feel pretty vindicated in hating the rest of us
