How can you tell someone is a bigot about straight white shit?
The word "cisnormative" comes up a lot. Said with all the tone and bile of a Klansman saying CENSORED.
The assumption that biological sex and gender being aligned is the default state.
That belies any statement of understanding.
Cisnormative white men deserve the bad things that happen to them because of their moral corruption.
Cisnormative white men are The Other.
The Other are not people, so they get to treat them as less than people.
Don't like me pointing out your bigotry?
Tough shit.
A real tell is the screaming that someone who's cisnormative can't speak about any situation where LGBT folks are involved, but they sure as fuck can speak about any situation where cisnormal white men are.
Even if speaking in favor of the LGBT folks!
On a lot of things, the people who shout the loudest are often the most full of $#!+. They use high volume and rigorous insistance to try to trick people into thinking they must be correct.
ReplyDeletePeople who are actually correct usually don't need to jump up and down and scream, they can calmly state the truth and let it speak for itself.

The sane LGBT would be well-advised to get their screaming fanatics under control, lest they provoke an almighty backlash against all such people.
ReplyDeleteThe sane people are saying stuff like, "ignore all after 'B'."
DeleteThere is even a fair anount of backlash among LGB against the T these days, because they are fearful that they could lose the progress they've made over the years if they turn a lot of the non rainbow people against them. I think it is a valid concern and I've seen some fairly persuasive arguments from people, especially L, who are also often pissed off about T invading their spaces and sports.
