This is lowkey why i dont assume gay men are politically involved when i meet them. Theyre men before they gay.

someone remind them that the only reason any of us have rights are bc of the black trans women who stood up for our community when no one else would.

I worry about this. I’m an omni cis man, and my partner is a trans man. Most, if not all men who are gay are already breaking down their taught sexism, so will eventually get to a point they realize that all of it is wrong. I worry that making a tiered system within this community is going to lead to people fighting, that’s not helpful when there are actual forces killing us. All of us

I didnt say anything about a tiered system. I said i dont assume men are politically queer when i meet them, which as a lesbian, is a tactic i have to develop because gay men in my circles have repeatedly grabbed my boobs (not sexually but as a “gag” because i guess its funny to assault women), to out me to people as a lesbian, its not a tiered system. Its breaking down my assumption that all gay people are my friends and politically queer.

I dont misunderstand your hesitation though. But i have had my experiences with genuinely sexist gay men that have yet to break down their privilege yet and it makes me cautious.

That’s fair But when caution becomes taught, you’ve reinvented discrimination based on sexual orientation And by gender Just be wary of letting it go too far

That’s a disgusting way to respond to someone talking about experiencing sexual assault. Your response to sexual assault shows exactly why takes like this persons are important

I did not at any point say that being scared of SA is bad or wrong, nor that being less trusting of people as a result is wrong. Just that this is a though process that leads to harming people who do nothing wrong. And after rereading what they said in response, I fully understand their decision. I misunderstood what they meant, and I get it now. But as an aside if someone asking you to try to question why a blanket statement may harm people unintentionally is disguising, please reconsider why.
