While we will have discussions on political issues dealing with hate and bigotry AGAINST the LGBTQ+ community, please keep your comments respectful of ail parties.

Be better than how your enemies treat you.


  1. Respect the trans community

Respect the people who belong here. If you're confused what that means, here's a minor primer:

No asking to date trans people or otherwise meet up with them. No treating being transgender as a mental illness or as being lesser in any way. No arguing with trans people about their identity. No arguing with trans people about their vulnerabilities, including anything related to sports, laws, etc. This includes anything else that the mod team deems disrespectful.


  1. Stay on topic!

Posts should be related to the defense, advocacy, and restoration of LGBTQ+ rights.

This Community is for news regarding, as well as the discussion of, anti LGBTQ+ laws, hate crimes, and propaganda.


  1. Bunnies are above the law

This isn't a rule but it shows you're paying attention to the rules. good for you!

While debating H.R. 1028, the "Protection of Women in Olympic and Amateur Sports Act" in the House Judiciary Committee on 3 February, Wyoming Republican Representative Harriet Hageman declared the term cisgender to be a "made-up word".

"Cisgender is a made-up word. That means nothing," Hageman said. "Do not call me cisgender. I am a woman."

Rep. Hageman went on the declare that the term "epitomises the Left's ongoing effort to rewrite the English language in order to change the debate and destroy civil order".

The reason why they want to stop people using the word cisgender is because they want to stop transgender people talking about themselves on an equal plane with their cisgender counterparts.

Fuck that. Fuck this "normal" bullshit that places transgender people as lesser. I am not lesser. I'm not greater. This is the kind of thing I'm talking about. 

I agree. That is why they fight it so hard. Everything else needs to be the "other." Not just trans.
