I thought I'd never meet a trans person and very few gay people in the agricultural college I attended when I went back to college. Turned out every damn one of the friends I made was somewhere on the LGBTQ spectrum. So as the other person said "as far as you know"

Acceptance of gay and trans rights has allowed so many people to realize they're not so straight or not so cisgender and that's wonderful. People are finally finding the freedom to be who they are!

Enough creators I follow are coming out as trans that I wonder if I'm missing something about myself. I don't think it's me... but if not, I sure can pick 'em.

Admittedly the rate among webcomic artists is through the fucking roof.

I wonder if I’m missing something about myself

Lol I feel that. I can't tell how much I might be a little bi or just horny

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

I'm definitely bi, but Lemmy's wash of trans / autistic / communist content leads to what-ifs.

I support their rights, they are people, the genitals only mader in bed. I just don't want aliens in the far future watching our shows and thinking "god damn, it was femboy paradies!"

This is so hyperbolic I have to wonder where this thinking comes from?

I support their rights, they are people

the genitals only mader in bed

These things are very tied together. Supporting people being who they are means supporting them if they want to publicly show their identity

I just don’t want aliens in the far future watching our shows and thinking “god damn, it was femboy paradies!”

What does that matter at all? Who cares what people in the far future think? What matters is what people think today, and representation helps people find their own identity and know that they're included in society
