to be honest

I kinda understand adults now. The whole pronoun thing is very confusing for most adults. And y’know what, I have zero respect for people who try to force their views onto others. Whether it be religiously, politically, or NOWADAYS, in the terms of the lgbtqia community. My mom brought up a very solid point, that no, the T in the lgbtqia doesn’t fit there, because it is not a sexuality, and lgbtqia is a sexuality based term. Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Queer/questioning, Asexual, and so on. SECOND POINT SHE MADE, it is VERY wrong to say that one HAS to respect/accept or understand your views/pronouns/identity/sexuality. Adults/millenials/boomers and gen-X, aren’t going to understand our views cause they never grew up with it. WE DID, WE KNOW THIS BY HEART! But other people who aren’t familiar with this, DON’T UNDERSTAND IT, and you shouldn’t, I repeat SHOULD NOT, force anything onto those people, or force them to respect you. I understand having told an adult your new pronouns (if you’re trans/nonbinary) and them misgendering or miscorrecting your name. It can be frustrating, yes. But if you understand it from their point of view, they know you by your original gender and/or pronouns and aren’t going to get used to it, if this is a new thing. I am not making this point to say that you cannot get mad at people for misgendering you or calling you by your dead name, I am simply implying that adults aren’t going to understand, and certainly do not HAVE TO and should not be FORCED TO respect your pronouns or sexual-identity views. You have every right to find yourself, but my mom was very clear when she said she was not going to tolerate being told to respect views she’s not used to.

@Hexed-To-Death i see were u come from but the T in the Lgbtq+ is reasonable do to its not just a sexuality wise its sexuality AND gender identity not just sexuality and yes u shouldn’t force anything on anyone but not all parents know that especially mine and my moms boyfriend
-
I agree with you whole heartedly but this generation is not going to listen because cancel culture is so common and you have to accept the common popular views otherwise people are gonna cancel you and people think that is for the better and it may be for people of this generation but people who are older or not gonna understand the concept of people changing their pronouns
-
If your choice would you wanna support or not and this generation just doesn’t seem to understand people still have the right to choose whether they wanna support something or not and I personally believe that it’s mess because it’s forcing people to believe in something that they may not find that they want to believe in
-
Some people of this generation have been raised the older principles of girls like boys boys like girls if you’re born a girl you’re a girl if you’re born a boy you’re a boy because that’s the way their parents know and it’s completely okay if that’s how you raise you believe but it’s not OK for you to purposefully disrespect somebody because of it like I’m not saying you have to support or you have to like it
-
But what I’m truthfully saying is that you shouldn’t make fun of people or tell them that they’re wrong because of your beliefs because everybody has a different belief system and we don’t know what’s right
-
Maybe we’re all wrong and we’re attack helicopters or some shit
-
That’s my Ted talk about why you should give people some slack on pronouns because it’s a very modern and recent thing that’s come up in very recent years
-
Also, people dont seem to understand the difference between “acceptance” and “support”. Two completely different words with completely different meanings. Yes they might seem similar but entirely different. Its like saying you’ll support someone’s views and not accept them. Like I’ll support you and everything you do, I just will never accept the fact you’re…idk, making these choices or whatever.
You get my drift. -
@Victor Well, if someone is trans, and fully wants to be a girl or boy, I would assume they wouldn’t want to be viewed differently than anyone else who is also that gender and is not trans.

@Duchess oh ok i see wee ur coming from

@Victor wouldn’t want to be* sorry

@Duchess true

@Vampire-Prince-Cyx Straight fax, although I don’t push LGBTQ+ or LGBTQ, I still love them and support them. The Bible says to “Love your neighbor as yourself” (second commandment) And I will do so!
