Hear me out. As a canon fanfiction writer and one who will take criticism, I can say that this post can be debated. I am not reblogging to start a fight or to create harm. I am reblogging to show my side.
Firstly, let me say that everyone is entitled to an opinion, that is the beauty of society. Yet, with that, we should listen with empathy. This means we hear other opinions even though we disagree. Then, maybe one can respond with new insight to the other.
Now, I am not a fan of labels. Never found them helpful to live. Yet, labels are helpful to explain. It is something that is needed but also not wanted. So, I will label myself right now, to help one have something to call me. I am honestly confused about myself in sexuality and romantic outlook. My sex is female. My preferred pronouns are feminine.
I have seen and heard opinions on sexualities, pronouns, romantic outlooks, political views, religion, etc. I have personally seen friends be ripped apart due to stereotypes. Stereotypes are a funny thing, aren’t they? They are based on something that is seen often towards a specific group, and some take offense. Which is justified. One must note that when someone says “all” that sometimes they do not mean all.
Back to this post. I am sorry one has bad experiences with “cishet girls/women”. I also find it interesting one can call someone “white” even though they can be any pigment. Yet, I digress. The original blog that posted this states how some “infantilize gay/trans men or oversexualizes them”. It is something that can be brought up if one disagrees.
I suggest explaining to a role player, or even blocking the blog. I would love if the latter was not the immediate action. Maybe the roleplayer, just like “cis” being defined by a stereotype, is using what they see in media. Maybe they think it is true. We need to take the time to help someone know that this is not always the case! How can we do this when we just thrust out things. One thing I love is seeing two people talk and not point.
As the original blog post gives their view, “cishet girls will constantly either infantilize gay/trans men or oversexualize them. they only care about bisexual men when they’re in a relationship with another man, and when said the bisexual man is in a relationship with a woman they get so fucking nasty it’s appalling.”
This is a post from a deleted blog of a transsexual female:
“i always see trannies always hate on straights and blame them for shit. no wonder people hate us.”
Life is too short to let the bad ideas of a certain group take over. Why can we not just talk and give an opinion and add a personal experience? It helps the other see and understand where your view is coming from. I asked someone once why they were against the LGBT. She said she met a group of LGBT members who beat up her brother because he was homosexual and pro-LGBT. She said her brother ended up in a hospital. She obviously took that event and believed every LGBT member hates heterosexuals. I explained to her how the ones that beat up her brother were just a small portion of the community. That not everyone in the community was like that. We held a deep conversation for almost an hour. She ended up becoming friends with many in the community she once despised. She allowed me to speak, and I allowed her to as well.
The point is that we need to talk to make a change. We can point and label all we wish to. But, this resolves nothing. NOTHING!
