My ex-girlfriend is now a straight, "proper" Christian woman who went through what she calls a "gay phase" and a "trans phase" even though I like to say she was just questioning.

She is very anti-transition and I notice on Snapchat there is some detransition propaganda stuff from even the "pride" accounts.

It’s that same inner conflict/self hatred in gay people. The most anti-homo people are the ones who are fighting their own tendencies.

    Yeah, we have some pretty fucked up societal preconceptions about sexuality.

    I know that is an incredible understatement, but still, it is a fundamental truth of Western society.

    I think the one statement that I can make that supersedes that is "love is more important than the rules".

    If you have to bend the rules to love yourself or someone else, then bend the fucking rules until they break.

    can confirm, when I was pre-transition and repressing, I had a lot of avoidance and was pretty critical of LGBT+ "culture" (not so much against their political movements, but I was always looking for ways to be critical when I was repressed, like when the HRC gave an award to Jeff Bezos, etc.).
