Same! Modern "queer" culture has made me very cautious around other LGB people. If I'm being honest, I tend to avoid contact with them if I can. I try to keep an open mind, but I'm so, so fucking tired of being lectured at over stupid shit that would bother no reasonable person because it's a "microaggression" or somehow otherwise problematic. I especially avoid other women who call themselves lesbians because they're usually the most preachy, and if they hear that I'm gay they take it as an invitation to tell me how they're sooooooo gay (usually because they don't follow gender stereotypes) or how omg men are trash (except for their boyfriend, he's the exception.) Bonus points if they lecture me for being close minded for not trying dick, or call me a liar when I say I've never been attracted to a guy. Most of them go on to either a "bi lesbian" or "non-binary lesbian" phase, but only after screeching on social media for a month or so about how these things are both totally uwu valid.

(except for their boyfriend, he's the exception.)

Lesbians with boyfriends = not lesbians

If you're 14, genderspecial might be a "look at me, I'm edgy" phase, the way "Satanism" used to be; but if you're an adult, this is mental illness. Does the OP really mean "I'm afraid I won't have a positive outlook toward mental illness"? Because you shouldn't have. They need professional help. And TW endanger women at the same rate regular men endanger women, and that's sadly quite high.

Pretty all the "my boyfriend is the exception" types ive met are actually dating the very type of man they say they are against and shun decent men. The disconnect is strong with them.
