The last words I had with someone at Pride tonight, someone who I thought was maybe a new friend was - "well, you're not a real woman anyways". (kbin.social)

I should have stayed home with my cats and ordered take-out. The gays are just as transphobic as anyone else. Fuck people. I opened myself up and I'm mad I did.

I'm a cis lesbian and I'll punch anyone who's transphobic right in the face.

I also think it's rather sad that we're generalising in an LGBTQ+ space, of all places. Please remember that they want us to be divided because we're stronger when we stick together.

We should be allowed to vent here in an LGBTQ+ space without being tone-policed. I'm sorry (believe me, I'm sorry) that transphobia is a problem in the cis queer community.

That's what you should say to the transphobe.

"Not all straight..." "Not all men..." "Not all cis..."

When does this become an issue with generalization and stop being an issue of covering up/defending shitty, toxic behavior within a community?
