why do cisgendered heterosexuals want pride events soooo bad?
Question Posted Thursday February 11 2016, 8:18 pm
You don't go through our struggles. When have you been taught in your 7th grade sex ed that you're not normal, been bullied, ashamed of yourself to suicide, and told by your church that you've developed an emotional connection to your an abomination. In what country have cishets been killed, beaten, and discriminated against? When have straight children been bullied at school for being straight? When have you been told, like bisexuals asexuals and pansexuals, you're not real or valid. Where is your marriage not legal? When have you had to fight to get a kid? When have you had to fight people to bake your wedding cake, take your photo, and sign your license? When has heterosexuality been considered a mental disorder? When have straight kids been sent to conversion therapys where they're shocked, and develop mental disorders. When have straight kids been kicked out of their houses for being straight, and told it's a choice. Gotten disowned. Is isis throwing heteros off buildings? Nope. Are people kicking you out of restaraunts, and holding up signs saying "God hates heteros!" Are you treated like an adult topic? Have you ever been told you're too young to know? Do your men get put into fanfiction by people who hate your women, and do your women get fetishized to the point where it's seen as nothing more than a porn genre by people who hate you?
Like transgenders (including nonbinary and intersex), have you been murdered, beaten, humiliated, bullied, and disowned like transgenders for being trans? Do you get told your not real and never mentioned? Are you treated like a pest of society? When have cisgenders faced even a tiny bit of discrimination. And been treated like weird ugly useless creatures, dehuminized and sexually abused? Especially transgendered people of color? Are people on your case for not being like the gender you identify as 100%? Do people want you to die? Is it hard for you to get your surgeries and name change, so you are constantly living with dysorphia and self hate? To suicide?
You aren't opressed cissy hettys, get over it. Also, allys, you're still cisgendered and heterosexual. You face nothing, and can ignore issues when you want to. For supporting us you are a decent human, no badge for that. If you're a good ally, you wouldn't need the "a" in LGBTQIA, which belongs to asexuals.
So why do cissy hettys want pride parades?
Sincerly, a fed up lesbian.

I think like anything some people forget why all of these organizations exists. We live in a world where certain types of people get more recognized. It may be your skin color,hair color, eye color, size of your body, your curves etc..
I think all people can relate to some type of discrimination but obviously some people get it much worse.
It would be nice to live in a world where we didn't have to have any of these things because everyone accepts everyone and tries to understand each other instead of bashing everyone but that's not the case so here we are.
Don't get caught up in what these other people are doing . If you it will just drive you mad. Keep fighting for what you stand for so these organizations will continue.
I hear everything you are saying and I agree but we have to find peace with some of the chaos with in ourselves. Some things just don't make any sense! [ Lisette77's advice column | Ask Lisette77 A Question ]

They see Gays Lesbians, Transgendered and others getting attention and feel deprived when in reality they are somewhat depraved for feeling that way for you are correct when you say they have not suffered the indifference you and others have.
Now if these people really want attention I would call them the affluenza generation. People who have been given everything in life and have never known failure or the suffering you have unfortunately suffered. what they know is they are missing something and have to have it.
My advice is to ignore them. They are too few to waste your time on in the first place. In the second place it is time they learned they can't have everything just because they want it. Some things come with suffering others have to earned. It is time they learned that lesson. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]

If they really wanted them, they'd have them. Or, ya know, they'd do Halloween twice a year. Like you said: It's not an oppressed or disempowered group. If heterosexuals wanted a to hold a damn parade, no would be able to stop them.
This is the kind of thing assholes say to get under your skin. It's not an honest desire or need, so it's not going to happen on any large scale. It's trolling. Yes, it's legitimately hurtful, ignorant and dumb as fuck, but it's not something that is happening on any large scale.
Don't waste your strength railing against 'heterosexual pride' events that are not happening beyond a few assholes and will catch on in any larger way. Just remove people from your life who talk that sort of bullshit. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
