      some cis straights think rupaul’s drag race is the end-all be-all of LGBT culture

        I can't express how true this is. I've seen the look of pure shock and confusion on entirely too many cishet faces when I tell them I'd rather piss glass than watch RuPaul.

        If someone brings up RuPaul around me, I'm instantly insulted. It always feels like they're equating being trans with crossdressing and it's beyond gross. I'm medically putting myself through a second puberty to feel comfortable in my skin, not to be fucking stereotyped as some bastardization of LGBT culture.

        Say "yas queen" one more time. I dare you, I double dare you, motherfucker.

    anyone who loudly bills themself as an lgbt ally is either a chill kid (often who will eventually figure out that they're lgbt+ themselves) or an insufferable bluecheck.

    i'm not a YassBitchYass, especially if you're a man. i'm a dyke. fuck off.

    How is this supposed to be any different to when reactionaries add random shit to the acronym to make fun of it?

    I'm preaching to the converted here but, if anyone thinks that this is being an ally, they can fuck off.

    Idk about y'all but I'm finally happy to see some XYZ representation around here!

    I'm actually an xyz and you can summon me from the Extra Deck by overlaying at least 2 monsters with the same Level.

    Well this helps my argument that the acronym is worse than collectively referring to the community as queer

        Wasn't some pedo advocacy group the one who came up with that to include themselves :cringe:

          Not that I'm aware of!

          Guess it was initially but seems to have moved away from that for the most part, but yea there are some seriously problematic elements to it like wtf does it include kink shit on top of the paedo origins ah well time to cancel a fav

      Almost like it's literally no different from the reactionaries who add extra letters to mock LGBT people. 🙃

    honestly I'd be happy to get this from a family member because at least they'd be acknowledging my sexuality instead of desperately trying to pretend it doesn't exist
