Mhm, I must have confused savior complex with sympathy then? Thank you for letting me know! And of course there are people who assist others, it just has never been my experience which has led me to believe it is a rarity to find actual sympathetic people. Especially sympathetic towards gay people.

What I meant is we have a lack of people with sympathy that is not focused on just one particular group. For instance, someone is sympathetic towards elderly and black people, but then that's where the line cuts off. And this very same person goes around spreading the gender belief, and helping gay men and gay women lose their spaces more and more everyday ...

It's like most people's sympathy cuts off in a certain point, and they show none in other areas that really matter ...

I edited that comment above btw.

It's very common for peoples prejudices to override empathy they have for their fellow men. Since ancient times people have demonstrated that empathy is most often selective. A prime example is that the GI Cult very clearly has no sympathy for homosexuals whatsoever, despite their entirely empty claims of "solidarity". Yet they will wax lyrical about how hard genderspecials have it and how much they empathize with their pain.
