Off My Chest

RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

i hate to use the term lightly just to throw it around and to complain about reddit, but of course, i need to get it off my chest. for those who haven't seen my posts, i'm transmasc and gay/bi. i'm part of the lgbtq+ community. there was a post i saw asking if it was transphobic, as a gay man, to not like trans men, and some responses just said it was his preference, while others said "yeah, because gay men don't date women" and the like.

like, i do understand the gay men who aren't sexually attracted to boobs or vagina, but like there's specific comments like these that give me the ick. "Your delusion is not going to erase my sexuality ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿพโ€โ™‚๏ธ"

it reminds me that there's a saidit community called LGB drop the T.

now, i'm quite new to the gaybros communities on lemmy, but i wasn't once doubted as a man or called "pretending to be a man" for being trans, if i ever said i was.
