'the fringe mob'. 'People denying reality' etc. etc.
These are all terms that have been used against gay people *and* trans people in the past. It's a bit rich a straight person coming in to decide what is and is not appropriate to be in a queer space and then acting offended if *they personally* no longer feel welcome because they're choosing to go out of their way to not respect people.
I'm certainly not looking for ways to be offended *or* being oversensitive! I just don't personally understand why a straight person would go into a queer space and then refuse to respect the people already in that space. It would be like me going into a straight bar and calling every man I met Barbara and then acting like *I* was being slighted if they said they didn't like it. |
