    You’d tell them because the law might not consider your activities illegal at this time. But what about trans kids? What about people who have abortions? Unfortunately, we can’t trust any state or legal system to continue to have our best interests in mind.

    Better that we normalize a free and private internet now while we still have the privilege of saying “I’d tell them…” And if you’d tell them, then great! But that should be your choice, your agency. It shouldn’t be data that we expect to have collated about us just by visiting a site online.

    Sounds like he just has brainrot then, and no amount of factual evidence could persuade him otherwise. Whether someone is “visible” or “has rights” isn’t even the discussion. There are clearly harsh inequities between straight cis people and LGBTQIA people, just as there are harsh inequities between men and women.

    It’s like trying to persuade someone that we need oxygen to survive, and having them respond by saying they don’t believe in the existence of oxygen. You can’t really have a discussion with such a person. Personally, I’d rather be lonely than be friends with someone as exhausting as that.

    Just pull up the Wikipedia page about LGBTQIA rights, show the anti-trans bills that have passed, the death threats against agencies that show any level of support.

    I wouldn’t even try to argue that cishet men aren’t oppressed because: A. The burden is on the person making the claim, B. You can’t prove a negative, and C. It’s irrational to think that they are.

    I’m a cishet man myself, and while I’ve experienced a lot of hate for being gay, there has never been a time I’ve received any hate for being cis. That’s just ridiculous.
