Here's a tip, if you want to be taken seriously and understood as a man of science, quit your religion. If you want to be a Jewish mystic who peaches morality and seems like a semi-plausible religious scholar, stop being a cunt to trans people.

What's up with the random antisemitism?

You've come into a gay space with your religious beliefs

Sure, everybody knows it's very common for religions to want men to date the same sex! Super common.

Someone else also called the gay men in the sub incels recently. Really, what's up with that? They are the ones using incel narrative, they are the ones using religious-like conversion therapy rhetorics. Accusing gay men of doing what they do is such a low move.

Straight people say gay people aren’t biologically correct.

I think about that sometimes too. What if we are acting towards TQ+ people the same way homophobes act towards us? But if you give it any amount of critical thinking you see clear differences. We aren't trying to be the same as straight people. We know we're gay, and we create gay spaces. We aren't claiming to be straight. We aren't peer pressuring straight men into dating us.

Also we aren't an identity. Sure, you can have a gay identity, a gay community, but homosexuality exists regardless of that. Your gayness exists simply because you're attracted to the same sex. It's very different from simply identifying as something, or the many neo-genders they create, or the very confusing and contradictory narratives they create.

It's just like that article someone posted days ago about a non-binary transman and he simply "forgot" to say in the article that he is non-binary, and according to his own words he was gay and became bi. "Transmen are men" he says as he openly identifies as not a man.

You talk about “being part of the community” and every example you bring up is about hooking up with gay men.

Great comment to point out this. Funny how people say "oh you don't need to date transmen, you just have to include them in the community". But their way of "being included" means being included in gay men's sex lives. Let's face it: if you wanna know who Paris Hilton and Lady Gaga are you could just google it. Even straight people can take part in gay communities, especially on social media where you aren't even showing your face. Not being a cis man would only become an issue when it's time to find a sex partner, which is exactly what OP found out when he tried going to Grindr.

It's also interesting how OP just wants honesty but he's only replying to comments that tells him that he belongs in the gay community.

I'm Jewish and a few people are weaponizing it. It's not exactly a new phenomenon. Haha

Still appalling. I’m sorry people suck.

I have talked to some elder activists, and people who were politically active on the left back in the 1960s. They recounted leftist antisemitism then too. It's unfortunately a very old problem.

Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, truly a modern sage, marched with MLK, bearing the Torah scroll as he walked. He said it felt like his legs were praying. I aspire to be like him.

I didn't think a modern civil rights issue would mean yelling at people online. But I've been around long enough to know the language of the bully is the push, and anytime you want to get through to someone, you have to speak the language.
