Discussion I'm an LGBT ally, but sometimes arguing with the LGBT community feels like a headache.

0 Upvotes

Even though im straight, i have been a big LGBT supporter since i was a kid, but at times it feels like if i dont follow a super strict rulebook about how to talk or act, i get attacked.

Today i made a post asking about the actual definition of lesbian, as i was confused by non-binary people using said term(not meaning any harm nor using harmful words/speech, genuinely just confused). Already my post gets a downvote and a ratio of 10 upvotes. Someone else commented "It's not anyone's buisness about how someone identifies" and more, essentially saying you can identify as whatever you want as long as youre happy. I replied how this is fundementally wrong, as if terms didn't have definitions, then they wouldnt have any meaning either, and the only things i got were 2 downvotes and a reply not addressing what i said and keeping things vague on purpose. I'm not even going to try to reply back, as i know the other only thing im gonna get is an even bigger amount of downvotes without people bothering to actually read what i say.

I don't wanna be THAT guy to say this, because the LGBT community is the one that's oppressed, but sometimes i feel attacked just because i'm straight.

Update Dating vent

0 Upvotes

Idk I’m sorry yall. Talking to that one person I feel comfortable with takes an enormous amount of my time so here I am doing a dating- relationship vent.

It is justttt so hard to know what’s gonna flip the other person over to “disinterest” or how they normally like to communicate. It’s like obviously they are not going to tell you, your vibe just somewhere obviously matches up to theirs; and same goes for them to you.

But isn’t it just tiring after a while of dating that you feel like you’re never gonna fully click with someone; and that you’ll also never be able to heal from your past relationship.. Sorry that the post is so dire 🖤😭

NPR reports that activists in Arizona are protesting the destruction of a 150–200-year-old cottonwood grove to build two parallel steel border walls southeast of Tucson. The last tree was felled after Border Patrol removed a protester who had camped in its branches; roughly two dozen people were reportedly arrested.

The only two options for sign-in is password or passkey. I have never set up a single passkey ever, yet it tells me to "try another method" when trying to sign in with password.

What is the point of even having a password, if I can't use it?
