/lgbt/ - LGBT

1) I don't use twitter and don't interact with strangers outside so none. One guy crashed out in TF2 after clocking a feminine name in tab but that just let me carry because he neglected his responsibilty as a medic to target me while not understanding weapon matchups, kept screaming slurs and death threats in the mic confused why aimbot wasn't a win button as a brass beast heavy.
2) I know it happens but I don't actively look into it. Definitely see it at least monthly.
3) Soon after gamergate started.
4) Don't think about it in that angle. It's concerning because it's thinktanks successfully making people reactionary from a young age, but I don't stress about it directly.

How did you stop hatewatching?

>>5579
- Deleted my twitter
- Hid YouTube suggestions with ublock
- resubscribed to channels I considered to not be unhealthy for me via RSS instead of YouTube's built-in subscription system, unsubscribing as I got it onto the RSS reader or decided to let go of a given channel, letting me vet everyone and remove the drama stuff.
- spent some time getting used to healthier web stuff like fedi and neocities.

There's some odd sensation I'd consider a form of withdrawl when you first stop, but it wasn't for long.

Also look into ARG and analog horror review videos like Night Mind, kinda scratches the same itch.

i'm enby and i deliver food for doordash for extra money and just to get out of the house at night and do something. i've had a few altercations and weird interactions with people doing this job. it's always been white conservative people that have a problem with me. one time i got jumped by some drunk rednecks who followed me and waited for me in a parking lot and gave me a concussion and a broken nose. i had an incident with some crazy white maga guy who screamed at me for driving too fast in his neighborhood and threatened me with a gun under his jacket when i asked him if he was a police. the most recent one was i handed some karen her food and she kept asking me "which one are you?" over and over again in this very unhinged way and when i said "merry christmas" she slammed her door in my face. that one i just thought was funny.

i'm pretty social and friendly with people when i'm out and about so most people treat me just fine, even the ones that most people would probably be scared of. a few times i've delivered food to drug dealers in front of trap houses and they always tipped well and thanked me for coming down there because nobody else wants to. i'm not trying to brag or act like some kind of badass here, believe me i am not, i am a short fat white autistic dork with glasses and i don't carry any weapons i'm basically the least threatening person in the world. this is why only the most stupid and insane people feel threatened by me. no rational person would look at someone like me and think that i'm some kind of threat to them.

people sometimes ask me, why do you still do this job? believe it or not, i actually enjoy the work, driving around at night by myself and listening to music and getting paid for it, getting out of the house and not being a shut-in and destroying my mental health and living in my own little depressing private world. i know that the company i work for are a bunch of criminals and i know that the pay is lousy and it's putting miles on my car and it's sometimes traumatizing and hazardous to my health. but i also know that every other job is exactly like that too and i know that most people are satisfied with hiding from reality and trading their humanity to live in a completely safe and predictable private fantasy world where nothing bad ever happens to them and they never grow old or get sick or die, but i don't want to live like that. and i don't want to carry a gun because that's not me and i'm very sick of pretending to be someone i'm not. i like to be completely present and immersed in reality as much as possible and i shouldn't be deterred from doing that just because some solipsistic maga retards are triggered by my existence.

How could they know you were an enby?

1) It's been years. I'm stealth, so I have to be going out of my way to end up in that situation. It has happened, though, of course.
2) Relatively often, maybe once a month. Usually in youtube comments or something. I don't go to garbage websites explicitly for shitty people, so that probably helps.
3) Ever since the american nazi party got their latest fuhrer, approximately. Go figure.
4) I don't know if the word "offend" even works for what it's like these days. I used to get offended. Now I just sigh and go through the motions of running a block chain on the culprit. I feel sad and disappointed, but mainly with the state of the world, not the person saying it. It's hard to even view them as individuals anymore, they're more like a very slow, boring lava flow, destroying everything in its path for no reason.

they didn't and probably don't even know what that is. i just tend to dress somewhat femme and i look very androgynous and some people get very triggered by that. the guys who jumped me in the parking lot called me a faggot so i guess they thought i was a gay man wearing women's clothes, the guy with the gun under his jacket was stalking me for a while and he didn't make his move until he saw me get out of my car to drop off the delivery and he saw what i looked like, and the karen who kept saying "which one are you" is pretty self-explanatory. the guy with the gun might have just been crazy and it had nothing to do with my appearance, but i don't know, it seemed like he didn't want to confront me until he actually saw what i looked like. i live around jackson, ms which has a black majority population and the rest of the population are the most bigoted stupid miserable white conservative trump supporters you have ever met in your life. it's like everyone is a walking stereotype around here, including me i suppose. the black people are pretty stereotypical here too, they're all poor and lazy and eat a lot of fried foods just like me, but even they never seem to be bothered by me. i've never heard an unkind word or ignorant remark from the black locals, only the whites. i've had a bunch of other moments like this, these were just some of the more interesting ones. i know a few trans/queer people around here and they've all had similar experiences with the magas, or worse. if you do like i do and actually go out of your way to touch grass and be out in the world as your true denuded self, you'll eventually realize that all the whiny lgbt activists are not exaggerating, it really is a fucking war out there.

I’m from Russia, we aren’t the main scapegoats here.

The irony is, white conservatives are the most likely to be on the down low.
I'm a black man and the amount of older white married boomer males who wanna get their fudge packed and play the flute is amazing

>>5577
None of this really happens to me because I live in a "woke" area and also I am a complete shut-in. It's more just being social ostracized and people ghosting me.

i mean that's where all this shit really comes from. why else would they care so much? liberal white people often criticize black culture for supposedly being very homophobic/transphobic but i think they are no more or less bigoted than anyone else i think they are just more honest about it than white people are who tend to resort to more subtle and careful expressions of bigotry, white culture tends to be a lot more passive-aggressive than black culture where people like to "tell it like it is" so to speak and say exactly what is on their mind without fear of the consequences.

many years ago i got jailed for a possession charge and i remember when i was in the holding cell there was a very angry black guy who was pacing around the cell and yelling and screaming to nobody in particular about how some "transhumanist kept looking at him" and i guess he beat the shit out of her and got done for assault and he just kept going on and on about how he hates transgender people and he wants to kill them all and how they are all trying to trick him and make him gay. he wasn't big but nobody else in the cell dared to say a word to him, you could tell he was crazy and if you said anything he'd fucking kill you. he didn't need to disguise his feelings with euphemisms and mental gymnastics, he just said "i fucking hate transgender people i want to kill them all" and i almost found that refreshing in a way, as a white person who is around white people most of the time i wasn't used to that kind of honesty from strangers.

I can easily buy estradiol and bicalutamide from a pharmacy without a prescription + nobody cares about me

i live in a latin american shithole and being trans seems to be far better than in the wealthiest country in the world lol

>>5605
Because no one gives a shit about you.
"Trans rights" in Europe means "You wait until you're 18 to get a doctor's prescription for 2mg estradiol and 50mg spironolactone."
At the same time, you're made the ultimate scapegoat, and every third person wants to kill you.

sorry for my amerilard ignorance but i was under the impression that russia was a large country with like a hundred million people living in it, i didn't realize you were the only one.

1. Almost never in real life. Maybe monthly on the internet, as someone without much of an online presence. I live in a pretty progressive small city with lots of trans people in it, and I think strangers tend to read me as a gender-nonconforming cis woman so if I get harassed it's for being a dyke. "Clockier" friends of mine definitely get way more shit than I do.
2. Probably monthly in real life, and every time I go on the internet and look at a place with people in it without exception. Not necessarily "wishing death" most of the time, but every time I go out with a group of friends primarily composed of clocky trans women, a stranger says something fucked up to one or all of us.
3. It started getting bad around 2017, it got This Type Of Bad in 2020 and hasn't stopped.
4. I'm pretty numb to it. I've been trans for like a decade and the common understanding has generally been that you grow a thick skin or die.

You’re an Amerimutt. You’ve never lived in Russia and you know nothing about it. So STFU and stop trying to tell a Russian what it’s like to live in Russia.

Fuck, YouTube keeps recommending me a video of some soyteen making fun of trans suicide in Minecraft.

>You’re an Amerimutt. You’ve never lived in Russia and you know nothing about it. So STFU and stop trying to tell a Russian what it’s like to live in Russia.

oh sorry i forgot that it's the year 3000 BC and there is no possible way for anyone to know what happens in other countries we just don't have the technology.

i'm beginning to suspect you're not really from russia and this is just some weird personality disorder shit you are doing rn. i've talked to a lot of actual russians and even the far-right ones are not so over-the-top and hamfisted as you are.
