LGBTQ rights making progress.

Why is it always the total douchebags who seem to hold bigoted opinions?

This is fantastic news. And in case anyone else on AF hasn't noticed, I am very very very pro-transperson's rights and anti-transphobia just as I am pro-homosexual rights and anti-homophobia and pro black rights and women's rights and against racism and sexism.

I'm also pro free speech though. Without that we wouldn't be able to hear the bigots like CapnAwesome speak out. It's better to know where the bigots are.

And I'm just pro free speech in general for everyone. Civilization would come to a standstill without it. "Virtue signaling" and safe spaces and trying to shut down free speech may be deemed the "regressive left" but there's nothing actually left about shutting down free speech.

Like I have said elsewhere, the fact that a thread on AF titled "Faggot named Elton" or "Nigger named Wonder" wouldn't be allowed is a good thing, but the fact that "Man named Tiffany" is allowed when referring to a transWOMAN... the fact that trans related slurs are allowed but slurs against other groups aren't.... just speaks to my exact point that even amongst otherwise progressive people.... some of them still don't get transgender rights to the same level as they get the rights of other groups.

Homophobia and racism are awful. But many people get that those things are awful. The same with sexism, it's awful, but many people get it. People should never stop raising consciousness on those matters, but there's less awareness of transgender rights and more transphobia than any of the other groups by far. So much so that literally people who won't be bigoted in other area, will still not get transgenderism.

The rights of all groups are important, but transgender rights are top priority at this point, as they're not taken as seriously as the other groups, and they absolutely should be because there's absolutely no reason for them not to be and it absolutely is as serious.

There's been a Q for years.

I consider myself to be a 'Q' (for "Queer").

I don't know much about what it means to be genderqueer and how it differs from say, genderfluid. And I am also unaware if it's a subcategory of being trans or something else entirely.

And because I don't know much about what it means, I'd very much love to be educated on it. Unlike some bigoted fucktards who will simply make fun of what they don't understand because they're bigoted fucktards.
