also you never see “gay men can still date women” “reminder that you can date women and still be gay” nearly to this degree. it almost feels like there’s a word for this. it’s on the tip of my tongue. mmm-

You also don’t see gay men being harassed every 40 seconds about the acceptability of genital preferences and how they must be comfortable dating trans men or they’re transphobic and should be ousted from the community Like can we lay off the women/sapphics/lesbians for 5 minutes please 😭

A lot of gay guys do date or marry women for safety reasons

i’m not talking about lavender marriages, i’m talking about saying it’s valid to use lesbian or gay labels when you’re attracted to other gender. you’ll see lesbian try to be redefined every ten minutes

I do see this discourse a lot in gay communities but it gets shut down really fast and with a hot dose of shame and misogyny 🫠

Actually as a queer man (bi specifically) I can verify that that shit happens constantly. Transphobia, biphobia, and misogyny are very common among gay men. I’ve had men tell me that they could never date a bi man because we “always cheat” or “always want to end up with a wife and kids” or “just want sex.” And I see a lot of transphobia, where cis gay men shit on queer trans men because they don’t want to sleep with pre-op trans men, and don’t consider them “real men.”
