A new poll by the Pew Research Centre has found that transgender people experience less social acceptance in the United States than those who are lesbian, gay or bisexual, according to LGBTQ adults.
About six out of 10 LGBTQ adult participants in the poll said there is “a great deal” or “a fair amount” of social acceptance in the US for gay and lesbian people, according to “The Experiences of LGBTQ Americans Today” report released on Thursday.
No shit eh
Instance checks out
Not sure what you mean
eh
canada
Still not following
The stereotype is that Canadians add “eh” to the end of sentences, with lemmy.ca being Canadian
Is that not a normal thing to do?
What could possibly give them that impression?
(Looks around for thirty seconds)
Oh. Oh wow. Okay, that makes sense.
They are not. That’s why.
they reached that conclusion by looking around and paying attention

To use your own words.
Gay and Lesbian people are classified as such because of sexual orientation.
Yes a sexual orientation based on their feelings at any given moment for the other sex.
Trans and “Queer” people are self-identifying as that based on their feelings at any given moment.
Literally every gender and sexual orientation is based on feelings. We’re talking about an acronym that’s trying to be inclusive and respectful of gender identities and deviating from the current perceived norm and that absolutely includes trans and queer folks.
Gender identity and sexual orientation have significant overlap especially when the sexual orientation is defined based on gender.

Right so let’s say you have a transfem who is into cis women - that’s an example of how gender and sex intersect. You could have one person who identifies as a woman but let’s say hasn’t had any sex change operation yet and they are attracted to another woman (born that way).
That’s a lesbian relationship, at least in my opinion, but by your standard you’re saying that would be defined as a heterosexual relationship.
I agree people are born gay or straight or whatever in between.
Besides gender is basically the sex a person identifies as.
You’re trying to make this rigid box with sections for different genders and sex and that’s just not how it is. That’s why the label has expanded to include more than just “lesbian, gay, bisexual” because it’s meant to be inclusive of everyone.
There isn’t anything wrong with inclusivity being acknowledged via the lgbtqia+ acronym, I’m not sure why you think it’s a bad thing.
Anyways I said my piece and won’t reply again just letting you know. Have a good day!
That’s weird because I’ve definitely changed the sexual orientation I’ve identified with over the years.
Sexual orientation is self identification. Someone is born gay in the same way someone is born trans.
Get the fuck outta here trying to invalidate the TQIA+ part

Nobody chooses to be trans. Idiot.
You suck

Hey asshole, you said TQIA+ isn’t about sexual attraction. What does the A in TQIA+ stand for??

You shouldn’t be saying these things about topics you have no idea about

How exactly is the feeling of your gender identity any different from the feeling of what gender you’re attracted to?

Flat out wrong. Some people may be attracted to a particular sex, but they are very much in the minority. Call me when you meet a straight guy who is into a trans man with a big bushy beard and a dad bod.
Horse shit

No, no, the asshole was just full of shit, telling an outright lie that’s a common bit of disinformation used by bigots.
This isn’t a thing where you’re going to achieve what you think you will. Might as well not waste your time

No need to.
Blatant transphobic horse shit is horse shit. And if you don’t know that it’s horse shit, that would make you the biggest moron on the planet, and I’m not going to insult morons by comparing you to them.
