aside from this comic being really cute and honest, it also points out this really huge glaring problem in the gay community in relation to trans-men.
in my experience with a lot of gay men, they have this extremely purist view when it comes to what being a “real man” is, which is bad enough when you have different gay subcultures (bears, gymrats, etc) who have different specific definitions of what a “real man” is.
however for the most part, many gay men seem to agree upon a point of leaving trans-men not only out of their gender, but out of their sexuality as well and I have a real fucking problem with that.
i’m pretty open about things that relate to my sexuality, and i myself identify more or less as a homosexual, but i’ve found the worst part in the gay community is dealing with this bullshit. eventually i found that i at least have the luxury of telling guys to fuck off if i don’t meet their standards, but i know that’s a lot harder for folk when they seem to have the entire population of homosexuals more or less invalidating not only their gender, but their orientation as well.
with all of that said, i just ask this. if you happen to be a cisgender homosexual, like myself, don’t tell other gay men that they aren’t actually gay if they’re dating or have had relations with a trans-man because that’s a load of fucking bullshit.
more important, under any circumstance do not tell a trans-man they’re not a man or that they aren’t allowed to like other men who are homosexual, be they cis or trans.
that’s all i really wanted to say.
I rag on TERFs a lot, and rightfully so, but there’s a male equivalent to be aware of, too.
As a gay transgender man I fucking love this comic. It makes me feel special and important and like someday I might be able to meet someone who can love me for me. I’ve never dated another guy, and part of it is because not every gay guy is as enlightened as this one. A lot of the time on dating apps I find a guy I might like only to see that he has some bullshit in his bio about only liking ‘real guys’ and then I skip him because that can’t possibly include me, right? I’ve basically given up dating because of this.
This is awesome, makes a really good point, and made me laugh with the shelf of dildos/strap-ons at the end.

I can top it: yesterday, NPR made a series of tweets that Trump supporters called “propaganda” and “trash words” to insult Trump and push NPR’s agenda.
NPR was tweeting the Declaration of Independence.
And that, folks, describes about 75% of Trump’s voter base.

that sums up the right in a nutshell. claim to be patriots who honor history (when it benefits them and hurts everyone else) but dont even know one of the most historical documents of the country. The republicans arent patriots. Theyre just wearing patriotism as a mask to hide bigotry
After Lucifer was kicked out of Heaven, he decided to make his own paradise. Both compete to have the best afterlife, sadly you lived a sin-free life and got sent to Heaven. God is throwing a very boring, sin-free party. You spend your time trying to get kicked out so you can go to Hell.
