Slight tangent, but subreddits like /r/lgbt and posts like these are a big part of why I personally want to "drop the T". Just reading through the replies to that post, and all the rest of the posts there, I don't know these people at all. I cannot relate to any of the experiences I read. I cannot keep up that false pretense of positivity constantly. I cannot fathom calling myself a "they/them" or "genderfluid". I don't want to represent them, and I don't want them to represent me.

I don't want to represent them, and I don't want them to represent me.

And if you dare ask for representation that doesn't include the innate homophobia of the trans movement, you're a literal bigot. Everything must be trans including or trans centered, or else it deserves to be razed to the ground and salted.

That's why they want to make anything with positive depictions of gay men of color hard to see, like any of Franklyn Seales' episodes of Silver Spoons. Only the ones before he joined the cast are on DVD or streaming.
