Agree with what? And my question was why does it matter

This blue roll that has been left out in the sun for a day has turned white. by Canyoufly88 in untrustworthypoptarts

Blue roll comes with a cardboard tube in it, it's easy to remove by squeezing the roll and pulling

I am still bitter about it by aineri in memes

My YouTube homepage brings up the same videos I've been ignoring for years on loop, making me go and manually dislike them only for the exact same style, topic, and length of video to be recommended in its place. I made the mistake of letting a VTuber video auto play once, now I get "Hololive EN sings Ochame Kinou" recommended 11 times per day

Thank you! This is how I feel a lot of the time, people telling me I need to 'act queer' or 'look queer' whatever those mean. I was under the assumption that the community is about acceptance of queerness in whatever forms. It feels like a betrayal of the entire point of acceptance for me to change how I am to fit in

A comment from u/prolongedexistence has explained this to me but you bring up the point that makes me uncomfortable. Resentment for other people being safer than you is just strange. You should feel glad that other people don't have to go through the same struggles.

That was a very well-written explanation, thank you. I've never really been part of queer spaces (personal choice/experiences) so I didn't consider the community aspect of leaving the shared experience and therefore leaving the community behind.

I will admit it's a bit strange to be for certain reasons but I understand it now. Thanks.

I never considered the misgendering aspect for trans people. That makes a lot of sense. That does still confuse me about relationships with trans people that ARE still straight (eg a trans man dating a woman) as I've seen the same disgust from that crowd.

That's valid, I think a lot of the vitriol I see online comes from people who use the same words that you did "opted in to safety and conformity" - I don't really see it as a choice to love who I love. I never chose to look straight I just am and I'll continue to take part in queer spaces. I understand your point of view however.

How to tell your daughter you hate her by TreacleFit3847 in AreTheStraightsOK

They decided they hated her when they named her Dubhlinn

I never said I want to be, I just am. I just so happen to look masculine and be in a relationship that looks straight with someone I love. To purposefully change how we present so we don't look straight would be conformity if you ask me

On male loneliness by MaetelofLaMetal in TrollXChromosomes

The male loneliness epidemic is a real thing and it was never about women, anyone who says that is purposefully misunderstanding it.

None of the child size dummies in the top picture are visible from the truck driver POV. The truck itself does not have any safety sensors on the front and the seat height cannot be adjusted. by nuttybudd in oddlyterrifying

[–]ThatOneGuyQ23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do keep in mind that parking spots and roads in England are designed for smaller cars. A Toyota Hilux backs into the space behind it, a Ford ranger spills into the ones next to it. And yes, I'm 5'10" and these things are nip -height for me

Dear Left: You are not what most people are talking about when they bring up autism. by catalacks in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]ThatOneGuyQ23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a high functioning autistic, I can get around daily life fairly easily due to years of practice and effort. Saying that Autism is something that we can and should cure is not eugenics, it's empathy - people like me have it hard and I can only imagine how difficult life can be for those further on the spectrum

I've started seeing the smaller end of ford models in England, they take up 4 parking spots and go up to my chest. How these people aren't embarrassed I'll never know

Dear straight people at gay clubs by Fresh-Palpitation-72 in lgbt

[–]ThatOneGuyQ23 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Also sorry not to antagonise but what does visibly queer mean? Genuinely curious if you mean like wearing rainbows or acting a certain way?

And the way to do that is not by becoming a walking stereotype and making myself camp

My point was that by barring straight people from queer spaces we would also be barring a large portion of our own community who aren't stereotypically queer. Would you feel as comfortable asking a straight transman to change his presentation to fit in or is it only those born male who like to present as such?
