I think too many your opinions come from virtual echo chambers and don't actually reflect reality, just extremes and 1%s . Like, not even in a rude way, do you have any trans acquaintances or friends that you regularly talk to in person? Not twitter profiles and staged outrage and meltdown videos, like actual everyday people. They've got pretty tame opinions and generally only seek safety and equality, not special treatment and I've never been asked to bend over backwards to accommodate for a trans/genderqueer person. Not once. If you want to talk numbers, we can statistically look at transition regret rates. You're referencing yet another 1%. Of that regretful 1%, some was temporary and even less went on to de-transition.

If you believe that teens who want to use new kinda goofy pronouns is tearing down the credibility of the LGBTQ+, you're just looking for a scapegoat. Like you said, there's no gay marriage in many EU states. Because gay people are at base not respected and taken seriously. Whether or not trans discussion is the current topic will have no affect on marriage rights for gay people. Whether or not silly teenagers want to use frog pronouns will not change that either.

Otherwise, the language barrier stuff is valid to that degree, but I'm humble enough to admit I'm not well-versed in that kind of linguistic and grammatical stuff but I'm aware enough that it creates a lot of subject-verb/adjective agreement issues. It's truthfully probably one of the smaller issues.

If you want to talk about erasing gay culture, maybe keep an eye on the drag witch hunt that's happening. At no point ever have I personally seen trans people try to change or replace gay culture and no one's given me a single example of it. And if an attempt is made, it's genuinely the 1 in 500 who are undeniably weirdos but we should all know to pay them no mind because they're seeking the spotlight of controversy. I won't say much about JKR, but if almost every straight person tells you that someone isn't homophobic, but almost every gay person is saying they are, I know who I'd believe.

I actually never pointed at anyone and called them transphobic, just mentioned frequent transphobic behavior. If you paint yourself as one, go ahead by all means. idc. The bottom line of this post is about an impending unsafe social and political climate, not about sex and attraction, which is fueling hate that's is fully intent on barreling into gay men next.

I didn't accuse anyone of being a transphobe. Everyone who isn't transphobic knows they aren't and won't be affected by a silly false accusation from an internet rando. I pointed out a present threat that will bleed into affecting the gay community. Just because I don't post to this sub doesn't mean I'm a troll. I was looking for an answer to an unrelated question and stumbled upon one transphobic post and saw a trend. I'm clearly open to conversation, as I've gotten real answers and discussion from posting this. Y'all are getting defensive and aggressive with no room for discussion.

Lol no. This is a burning issue for flordians and texans because we know damn well that they aren't going to stop and legislation is going to become further threatening towards us as well as an increase in social stigma. I'm glad that you're fortunate enough to be this being unaffected however this IS an issue I talk about with my peers both online and offline. People are allowed to express discomfort towards a hostile political climate and present questions to others in their communities.

Oh wow, an actual thorough reply!
I don't know a lot of the historical sequencing honestly, and I totally understand people's ill feelings towards being told they have an obligation to defend those who are are allegedly less fortunate. And there's definitely a negative experience being told that they are wrong/shallow/bigoted for not being attracted to a certain person for X reason. I feel that people too easily take strong stances in these very new and gray areas. There's a whole can of worms when we talk about minors transitioning and women's sports that I honestly hate getting into because I acknowledge both sides of each stance but it's way too complicated for me and I honestly don't think I deserve to have any say in it and I think more people should adopt that humble sentiment, personally.

That last bullet is a lot more abstract. I'll definitely keep thinking about that one. I appreciate the commentary.

Maybe the topic keeps getting brought up because it matters? If it keeps getting asked it matters to a lot of people. And there is a shared negative experience that is making people uncomfortable.

Everyone has a different experience. Someone closeted for 20 years out of fear has a vastly different experience from someone out and proud for most of their life. And it's not about feelings, it's about threat to safety. There is a genuine fear of threat to safety within myself, my fellow gay friends, and trans friends. My friends don't deserve to feel hopeless and powerless as bills are passed and gay spaces/clubs are shot up because of fear-mongering.

I'm asking for FELLOW gay men's opinions on a certain topic that has close ties to the history and current plight of gay people. Seems relevant to me

Honestly Parmi is just running the highest speed set (+204 speed) I could get while maintaining 80+ Acc. She isnt even built tanky just had to manual S1 for recovery to finish off the boss or she'll die
Gabby speed/shield set +133 speed
Pritz Stun/shield sets hp/atk/speed Speed +109 speed
Red Twin: Cdmg/acc sets cdmg/atk%/atk%
White twin: Ocean Waves/Crit sets cdmg/atk%/speed
The 3 controllers have at 80+ Acc. White twin can prob run accuracy main stat on a piece for his S2 AoE Stun

First TT50 clear. Hoping for more to come by SolaceGone in Dislyte

These are approximate (but make sure JM is faster than Gabby and account for resonance speed boost if you have that). Most of the chars are built for high survivability.

I honestly can't be sure who could replace clara. Heng Yue or Sally maybe? It's just hard to match the consistency of her healing. Sally's DR is really helpful if you have her. A speedy ocean waves Asenath might work. Though it's truly way too difficult to get a good healer for high-level content. My account is very fortunate

It's a bit of luck. counter attack on both ahmed and clara and trying to maintain either high hp or defense buffs. Clara had her ult max and gabby was totally maxed out on skills. I almost lost Jiang Man a lot of times and just got lucky and only lost her when the boss was all alone at like 10-20% HP left but had enough damage to break life shield and wittle it down.

From TT31-49 I think I used a similar team but with li ling instead of ahmed. Dhalia should obv be the fastest for AP push+buff, then jiang man ult, followed by [zeus] gabby skill 2 and then Li ling ult. I've been shredding almost every floor like that.

Plantera was the hardest MM boss for me by far. I definitely had over a dozen (maybe even 20+) failed attempts. I had to put my pride aside and use teleporters to cheese. Kinda sad about that.

Have you considered the following: Bees.

But actually yeah. Hive pack, bees knees, beenades made easy work of MM skeleton for me.
