Aw, jeez, they think THIS is hate speech?

As a tomboy lesbian (and someone who was a tomboy as a kid) that makes me genuinely happy to see. And it is sad to think that this sub will almost certainly be banned soon, so here is the archive. https://archive.is/wb4u5

The fact that many trans people, and many people, period, on Reddit consider a post stating "I am a lonely tomboy lesbian" to be hate speech is both hilarious and saddening. What a time we live in.

I am not a lesbian but I am a tomboy too and I also feel really uneasy how many people like me stop seeing themselves as women, change pronouns, their names and even go for HRT. I am certain they'd never think of it if they weren't exposed to this TRA stuff so heavily. It's present everywhere even if you don't look for it.

I completely relate. "Queer theory" is all about othering anyone who does not fit into societal sex roles and expectations. I do not want to be othered, TRAs think being "not normal" is cool, but I just want to be me lol, not different.

Exactly!
