LG community…

Ya know, because those nasty hatekeepers want to keep other specific groups from getting their own needed spaces to talk about their own specific issues and to talk with each other about issues that we all have in common.
Like being hated on by the  Straight TM crowd for not being straight enough for their tastes.

Because hatekeepers readily play into the hands of the Straight TM crowd and divide the community and dissolve power instead of collecting it.
Nothing nicer for the Straight TM crowd than marginalized groups tearing each other apart, is there?

Because those nasty hatekeepers think only their problems count, that they are the only real victims.
That Bi people are ‘fake gay’ and ‘just straight’ or ‘greedy’.
That trans women are predators.
That trans men are only confused women.
That non binary people are fake.
That intersex does not exist, even when it is scientifically proven.
That pan and poly is greedy/bi/not real/cheaters/whatever.
That aspec is only a modifier/are all straight/nonsense/not real/not hated on.

And to top it off, most if not all hatekeepers are also racist and sexist.
They follow the white coloniser view of gender and sex.
 The view of conquerers and killers who destroyed indigenous cultures who dared to not have the same narrow, hatefull view of sex, gender, women and family.

REGs also want to call themselves feminists but readily speak over, and abuse  women who oppose their view, especially WoC.

REGs are also ableist often enough.

And you are showing it off perfectly.

also, there’s a difference between wanting an exclusive lesbian space or gay space (which is totally fine), and believing that bi people are “basically straight” or that asexuality isn’t really a sexual orientation. Wanting to have spaces where gay men and lesbians can talk about specific issues that affect them, just like wanting to have spaces where bi and/or pan people can talk about their issues, or spaces where ace people can talk about their issues, is way different from telling people of another group that their issues aren’t valid, or that they might as well be straight, or that their identity doesn’t/shouldn’t exist. Most inclusionists are in favor of having spaces within LGBTQIAPN+ communities that are exclusive to people of certain demographics, such as trans people, or bi people, or gay people. The difference is when people tell others that their sexuality doesn’t exist, or isn’t really a sexuality, or that they might as well be straight. That’s going from saying “my identity and issues are important" to saying “all these other identities and issues aren’t important”.

WHY IS GATEKEEPING THE LG COMMUNITY A BAD THING? holy shit terfs can die 🙃
