our local pride contingent in the fourth parade was a doughy guy in peroxide blonde curls and an ill-fitting thrift store frock flanked by an obese woman on a little rascal wearing an umbrella hat

my ridiculous cousin exclaimed Here Come The Queers! and it was a surreal, if unsafe, moment

I think I've found a humor goldmine i,n plain sight. What if we made fun of the big queer acronym, by typing a bunch of random letters? You could combine it with saying you identified as a tractor or the big bang, anything you wanted, really.


I don't feel comfortable doing it myself, I'm more of an ideas person. Just don't run it into the ground, I can't spend all day handing out freebies.

If you're a trans girl does that mean you're biologically male but live as a woman or vice versa? I'm never sure when I see that term.

To bring light to the darkness, whether that darkness be ignorance, injustice, apathy, or stagnation.
the prejudice faced by LGB individuals is of a different kind than the other letter(s), as it's an issue with internal preference and not external appearance. This is part of why a huge number of people are good with LGB and less cool with T (and just flat opposed to various other portions of the gay rainbow that may or may not actually exist as a physical thing and not just mental problems)

In less words: Homophobia:Religious Bigotry::Transphobia:Racism

That, in a nutshell, is why the idea of the LGBT acronym is somewhat disingenuous. While it's theoretically positive for trans- people, it's actually a negative for LGB people who would rather not be associated with the stereotype of men in dresses and instead just be viewed like anyone else.

You've got your trannies mixed up.

A man in a dress is not a transgender. He's a transvestite.

One of the more common pejoratives directed at transwomen is that they are just "men in dresses"; you're right in that the truth is far more complex and a transvestite is the actual dude in a dress, but I'm talking about perception by the non-sexual/gender minority portion of the population, not the facts of the matter.

You're a human being. Getting hit on by gay dudes is tits.

Although this one gay dude, dressed as a minion at a Halloween party kept taking my hat, so a friend of mine politely but told him to buzz off and leave lil ol my neg rear end alone

Take it as a sincere compliment. Gay men like masculinity, and if you're getting attention from them you must be pretty attractive.

The one dude I know who has just come out as trans started a rumor a while back that me and my flatmate were gay just because he used to run me baths with special oils in and we'd drink booze together while I was in the bath (which is not gay it's called being a good friend)

But now I'm not allowed to be mean to her now because she's a super brave transperson. Seems pretty hosed up imho.

yeah, i only run into the one genderqueer special snowflake person i know twice a year at art shows, and the last time i checked they seem to have finally settled on a nice boring transman identity and started on hormones
