i really dont want to come across as mean, but i am trans and i dont quite understand this one? i always was under the impression that gender is who you identify as, and sex is just what is/was down below, but that your sex does not affect your gender? can someone please explain this one to me a little better? i dont want to come across as rude or mean, i just really dont understand this one.

My friends that are LGBTQ don’t really try to stop this stereotype… they’re all either dating or used to be dating. Not to offend anyone

That who you're with shows what you like. Lots of people have sexual preferences that they don't act on because they never meet someone they're attracted to in that category.

Transgender people are just looking for attention. I've heard this line from numerous gay/lesbian/bisexual people, especially ones recruited by right-wing sources like PraegerU. It's disgusting, and a slap in the face especially to those who have struggled greatly because of it. Speaking as a transgender person, I didn't loose friends, risk (and end up) getting outed to conservative family, and be given death threats (amongst other things) for a like on social media.

That gay people make being gay their whole personality. I mean, It can be true but sometimes people say it when it isn't. Sometimes people say that when someone is just living their life. IDK it just frustrates me. If someone thinks someone's only personality trait Is being lgbtq+ they probably don't know the person well enough. Have a nice day!

When I first felt safe enough to come out and admit i was lgbtq+ in school a lot of people either thought I was doing it to fit in with more people, and that I was making it my whole personality cus I was having a gay panic over this girl I genuinely liked and couldn't stop talking about.

Lesbian does not mean a girl attracted to another girl. It means someone who isn’t a man, who is attracted to non-men. Girls can be lesbians, obviously, but lesbians also feel attraction to non-binary people and others. However enbys attracted to women can also be known as trixic, this is a good fact to know. It’s a common misconception.

This is also the same for gays but with, ya know, non-women.

That xenogenders are fake. That xenogenders are only for autistic people. That neopronouns are only used online. Using SAM (Split Attraction Model) means you cheat. Being polyamorous means that you cheat. Hoarding genders means you’re doing it for attention. Having multiple names means you are plural (nothing against plurals). Being xenogender means you’re otherkin.
