Homophobia is systemic and implicit like all bigotry and oppression but it feels like instead of being challenged, implicit homophobia is almost embraced and that's how we ended up with the 'ironic homophobia' epidemic

About 7 in 10 posts here get an intent label; the model only labels the ones it is sure of.
like it’s trends, most of the time they don’t even have to be particularly majoritarian trends, it’s just like- what’s a tendency about a group that sticks out to people for some reason and for trans women it’s playing cool games as a trans woman you’re allowed to play bad games, or even stereotypically boyish games, it’s actually 100% legal for someone to buck a trend and not perfectly adhere to an archetype
Australia may be slightly less institutionally transphobic, but it just sucks to live here in general for innumerable reasons. So the benefits of not living in the UK will be countered by the downsides of having to live in Australia.
the past few years have shown how tentative any rights or social acceptance are. as soon as it came time to actually defend a targeted minority, cishets just threw trans folk to the wolves and didnt look back.
Still shocked by the blatantness of it all. I've seen my fair share of transphobia at workplaces. Heck I was fired once right after speaking up about a coworker's remarks. But having it thrown in my face like this with not even an attempt at disguise, that's new.
Great to see NYC supporting youth gender-affirming care! So needed in a time of federal transphobia and private hospital cowardice.
I don't know how important this is, but it seems like it might be relevant to the trans rights discussion: I think that a lot of people 50 and younger do not remember when no one was gay. I am 64, and I was raised in a conservative household, and I absolutely remember this.
WRONG - anti-LGBT sentiment is manufactured because it is necessary to distract us from the real villians of the story, the RICH. We won't stop this shit until we remove the rampant wealth inequality. That is the only cure. Get rid of the rich, take media companies out of their control and into the hands of coops. Everything else is pissing in the wind.

The model is less sure these belong here, so they sit outside the ranking.
the government will list trans people as explicit and sexual for dari g to exist meanwhile sports gambling ads can have naked women advertising them and thats ok and normal
Cisfeminism be like "Not a SINGLE man that has EVER existed with NO exceptions has even the FAINTEST idea what it's like to be raped (not all men tho)"
YOU CAN BE QUEER AND HAVE MORE TO YOUR PERSONALITY THAN HORNY HORNY GAY GAY SEX
Why would you ask them that in the first place? And no, I dont even think it's a good joke if that's the purpose. It's homophobic no matter how you say it.
