I’ve felt the need to do this for a long time.

I have some controversial views. I think they are reasonable and the smart decision. I know for a fact that is not everyone’s opinion. If you disagree, politely tell me. I don’t mean offense to anyone by saying any of this. If you think something is ridiculous, unfair, or does not make sense, please say so, I want to be judged and told what is right and wrong. I’m gonna be brutally honest. My whole personality tends to be supportive of everything. My goal is to do that. I hate to admit that it’s not supportive of everything. Also, I have horrible amounts of skepticism in things, even if of me,

Please let this go through KS. Edit what must be edited.

Let’s get to it. 


LGBTQIA+++ as a whole: 

Guys. Here’s the truth.

I don’t like LGBTQ much.

Yeah, I’m in it. Yeah, I appreciate the love is love. I appreciate the support and safe community.

Except here’s what I don’t like.

-Pride as a whole is often downright disgusting and I don’t ever want to go. I used to want to. It sounded fun. Seeing video clips now though? And to think of what it is celebrating. Love is love, beautiful, but it is celebrating kind of vulgar topics if you think about it hard enough, and something children probably shouldn’t be going to. Also, don’t get me started on the over… ah… [fill in the blank] ualization of pride and the amount of… er… fill in the blank again.

-Straight and cisgender should be included. That should be celebrated. “This is celebrated because of past discrimination! Straight and cis people were never discriminated!” WHAT ARE YOU DOING RIGHT NOW!? We can classify straight as a sexuality and cisgender as a gender but its not actually LUHGUHBUHTUHQWUH. WHY NOT!? Lets celebrate everyone equally. I say it is now. Lots will disagree. I don’t care. If you are straight and or cisgender celebrate that. You are you. It’s not the default like people in pride argue so why not have it a part of this? 

-The amount of people in this community who are toxic, or discriminate others, or are legitimately disgusting is insane. And it gets waved off as normal.

-The association everyone immediately is given if they are gay or whatever. It’s not very good. Just cause someone is, I dunno, aromantic, doesn’t mean they are toxic and woke.

It has horrible connections and the connections are actually valid! It’s insane! I actually get why some people avoid gay people! Half of them are cuckoo!


Transgender:

Alright lets get realllll controversial 

I don’t think trans women should be able to participate in womens sports.

I’m sorry.

You will always have a male physique no matter the surgery. This gives an unfair advantage. Yeah, you’re a woman, but you cannot change the fact that you were birthed IN A MALE BODY.

Same for trans men in mens sports.

This goes for locker rooms as well. Bathrooms, ehhhh, cause there are stalls (there should be more all gender one stall bathrooms lol) but still. There should be a locker room or whatever FOR trans people. This would help with advantages. 

I support trans people. I like trans people. Trans people are good people. HOWEVER trans people CANNOT CHANGE THEIR SEX FULLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

It’s IMPOSSIBLE unless you manage to open up character settings and change your avatar :)

ALSO

Creepers can claim theyre trans to get into things such as the opposite genders bathroom and be creepy. Theres no way to tell if someone is ACTUALLY transgender so you don’t know if they are doing this to be weird. SO GETTING RID OF ACCESS WOULD HELP-

We need all gender bathrooms 

-

Changing it up a bit. All genders are valid and welcome. Gender is societal. You be you. I support you and your identity. 

I appreciate those of you who politely correct misgendering and don’t scream at those people who accidentally use the wrong pronouns

As to quote an amazing person who was not cisgender and was misgendered, explaining how they handled it:

“If you look like a guy, they’re gonna call you a guy, if you look like a chick, they’ll call you a chick”

Those people who scream about it are goofy ahh

DID YOU JUST ASSUME MY GENDEEEEEEERRRRR HUFF HUFF IM GONNA HUFF AND PUFF AND BLOW YOUR HOUSE DOWN look mate thats gonna get you nowhere in life


Sexualities and orientations:

All are valid if they are about attraction to gender. No way no how is someone gonna get away with being foodsexual, dracosexual, MAPs, whatever you wanna be, NOT VALID, THAT IS DISGUSTING. 

Lesbian? Cool! Bisexual? Cool! Gay? Cool! Asexual? Cool! Omnisexual? Cool! Whatever else? Nice! 

A T T R A C T I O N

T O

G E N D E R


Politics:

No

Just no

Trump is every ___-ist ever and is gooooooofy

Biden speaking makes me laugh so hard and also is gooooofy

If I had to pick one? Biden

BUT YALL

WE NEED BETTER PRESIDENTS HOLY MACKERAL

CIVILIZATION IS DYING FROM SOME OF THESE PEOPLE

I think we need a change and a woman president. I couldnt tell you how that could affect anything. I just think that might change views


Women vs Men

Men and women are equal in everything. What else can I say? No one really has it harder or easier. Feminists and alpha males are a pain in the rear end. So yes, moving on 


Race

I hate saying this

Every race is racist

Anyone can be racist. All slurs are horrific and even if you are that race (for example me, a white person, calling my white friend a cracker is just as bad as anyone else) DONT SAY ITTTTT

I WILL SAY white predominantly was the most racist. It’s horrific how bad it was. 

But it is not the only race to be racist (probably the most though)

EVERYONE IS RACIST TO EACH OTHER ALL DAY LONG (THE PASSES AAAAA)

IT NEEEEEEDS TOOOOOOOO STOOOOOOOOP

BLM i support

I also support ALM

Both are good things

I guess I support, say, Asian Lives Matter too!

And Hispanic Lives Matter!

And European Lives Matter!

and uhhhh

Indian Lives Matter!

i dont know where im going with this

My point is too many people dismiss racism and everything needs to stop 


Abortion 

I believe in abortion. I believe there is an extent to where the mother should be allowed to abort a baby. You cant abort a 6 month old baby. 2 months? Eh, alright. 

But some people are forced and end up pregnant, or will die from pregnancy- it needs to be allowed.


Religion:

All religion is valid.

But inside many religions, do I support…

Some morals? Nahhh. Some values? Nahh. But the beliefs I think are valid. 

The only religions that would be invalid are religions purposely intending to exclude or hurt others as part of the religion. I don’t have an example but I think you understand what I mean.


This is all i got

If you have any others things i should add lmk

It is late at night while I type this so if something seems off, horribly explained, or wrongly said PLEASE say so

And give me your opinions!

I agree fully with you :)

And I love how you aren't forcing your opinion on anybody.

I understand you fully, because I always try to understand everyone's opinion or religion or gender, but sometimes it just gets to be too much.

I do understand what the person said though: "If you look like a dude, they'll call you a dude- If you look like a chick, they'll call you a chick."

And I hope everyone understands your opinion :)

Thank you for sharing your views. It's important to have open and honest discussions about controversial topics. However, it's also important to consider different perspectives and be respectful of others' views, even if you disagree with them.

Regarding your views on the LGBTQ+ community, it's important to remember that Pride celebrations are about love and acceptance, not necessarily about explicit themes. It's also important to recognize the discrimination and struggles that LGBTQ+ individuals have faced throughout history, which is why Pride is a significant event for many.

In terms of transgender individuals participating in sports, it's a complex issue that requires careful consideration of fairness and inclusion. It's important to listen to the perspectives of transgender athletes and find solutions that balance inclusivity and fairness.

When it comes to gender identity and pronouns, it's essential to respect individuals' self-identification and use the correct pronouns. Misgendering someone can be hurtful and invalidating, so it's important to make an effort to use the correct pronouns.

Regarding racism, it's important to acknowledge the systemic racism that exists in society and work towards creating a more equitable and just world for all. All lives can't matter until Black lives matter, so it's essential to support movements like Black Lives Matter.

Ultimately, it's important to approach these topics with empathy and understanding, recognizing the diverse experiences and perspectives that exist in the world. Thank you for opening up the discussion and being willing to listen to different viewpoints.

Are you willing to discuss these views? I can easily debate some of the ones you listed, and can try my best to be as respectful as possible.

Hopefully you'd like to be Open-minded, but if not, it's your choice.

Sure.

I try to be open-minded. Bring it on haha-

Righto! :D

I'll typically try to stay in LGBT stuff, so here we go.

LGBTQIA+++ as a whole: 

-Vulgar topics? By this logic, seeing a straight couple doing something affectionate in public (as in hugging or holding hands, not anything sexual) would be considered vulgar. It's mostly just celebrating the freedom to Love, and what you do in bed doesn't have too much to do with it. I guess think of it as how a Homoromantic person is different from a Homosexual person? The "sexual" part isn't always the point. However, I can admit that some of the things that happen at marches don't illustrate this, but that's just individual people, who don't represent the celebration as a whole. But the companies banking off of it are gross.

-...they are included? They're not not allowed to take part in the events and celebrate the fredom to love. But I think you mean how being straight isn't the main focus. You answered it yourself with them not being discriminated against historically, but claimed it is happening by "Straight" not being included in LGBT+. First off, that is not anywhere near what LGBT people faced not too long ago. It was just regular culture to laugh at them and hate them, what with stuff like the bestselling book of all time including in certain chapters that stoning them is alright (admittedly I can argue against the Bible calling for the murder of Gays in a whole other discussion, but it's still there). It is not comparable to what LGBT people have faced in the past. You can argue some LGBT people are against all straight people indiscrimently and yeah, that's bad. But it's nowhere near the majority, and you'd have to be pretty nitpicky to find that. Second, that's not what the event is for. The event is to encourage the rights of people who still don't fully have them, and celebrate what they've accomplished so far. Straight people (for the most part) have always had the ability to love and marry, and if they hadn't, it wasn't for being straight. Again, straight people can celebrate pride in the same way a White person can celebrate Martin Luther King jr and what he's done for the world.

-I know there are bad apples, but I generally don't see this? I mean duh you'll find radical people if you try too, and a lot of people who make this argument would probably go out of there way to take this stuff and highlight it. I don't see it being waved off as normal when I do find except by even more radical people. But, as a Bisexual myself, I'll inform you me and all of my LGBT friends do not condone any kind of discrimination or toxicity, and would not handwave it as normal. Tbh this argument can be easily taken down by the simple fact that humans suck, and no matter what group exists, bad people will be in it.

-This last one seems pretty pro-LGBT? I mean, yeah, that's just being a jerk to LGBT people for existing. Labelling a whole group a certain way because you see some people who are toxic. You don't feel Romance? You must be in league with the Woke Mob! How dare you! Woke is just a label really-

"It has horrible connections and the connections are actually valid! It’s insane! I actually get why some people avoid gay people! Half of them are cuckoo!"

And it's valid? Half of them are cuckoo? My friend, this is just plain LGBT-phobic dude. You see crazy stuff on the internet and make a large assumption about a big group of people for existing. I dunno why you think this, but that's just my assumption.

I can argue more points, but I'd like to start with this. I don't mean any disrespect to you in particular, and I wish you the best of luck. I hope you at the very least consider these, and if you disagree, I'd appreciate a response with an explanation! I believe in truth should prevail above all, so if I'm wrong I wanna know why.

Hamas is a terrorist organization. I’m pro-Israel. Who in they’re right minds would think Hamas is good-

I think the war is horrific honestly
by (153k points)
Glad we’re on the same page.

I seriously don’t get how people don’t understand that Israel is going after Hamas, not Palestine.

America did not go for Afghanistan, we went for Isister, Al Quesadilla or whatever their name is, and the Trashiban.

And I’m also confused about people that support hamas.

They say they hate nazis, but they hate jews.

Wouldn’t that make them nazis?

Not necessarily but kind of.

Yeah,but they are destroying Gaza and thousands of Palestinian children have died, I’m not pro hamas but I’m pro Palestine
