like we are on our nine billionth positivity post for cis men with beards and masculine trans men and feminine lesbians and bi people in m/f relationships and nb people who are comfortable passing as their agab etc.... do we need more? is straight people not being able to tell you're gay/trans really the biggest issue facing lgbt people right now?
there seems to be this undiminishable reservoir of care and sympathy for the very idea of having ur queerness slighted in any context. meanwhile people who never get the choice whether or not to hide it are routinely dehumanised, othered, and ignored. if the issues facing these groups do get discussed it's almost never with much concern for their feelings. invalidation and erasure may be one of the issues facing lgbt people and it deserves attention too but I really don't think you can claim at this point that it isn't getting its fair share already.
for what it's worth, even your hypothetical most flaming butch lesbian/fem gay man/androgynous nb person etc still meets people who assume they're cishet, who even actively refuse to acknowledge that they're not. the false equivalence between erasure and overt prejudice alleged exclusively by those who largely experience only the former is in fact erasing the reality of people who experience both

it’s always a possibility the writers ARE going to try for some weird “romance” between john/makee (i won’t like it lol but that’s beside the point) but i just think it’s weird how people are trying to infer romance between john and literally Any woman he’s talked to. like i’ve seen people saying john/kai, john/makee, john and fucking cortana and i just want to know why it’s 2022 and people are still being heteronormative and acting like any man/woman talking automatically equals a romance happening. it’s annoying

ive said it b4 there r a lot of gay ppl who r very conservative who think they cannot possibly be conservative bcuz they r gay like that automatically wipes away all the shit u grew up hearing n internalizing that u actually have to unlearn on ur own, and it shows rly hard w lots of things but rn talking abt how like common it is for ppl to think like harassing polyam ppl or whatever is justified and funny like honestly theres no excuse for u to be acting like this still as an adult u have opportunities to grow and do better as a person. at some point u need to take responsibility so ur not walking around acting like saying polyamorous ppl dont love their partners and ‘joking’ abt them dying from hiv or completely vile shit like that is a totally normal thing to think and say cuz it most defnitely is not you are just an evil fucking person
