LGBT - Divisions and Perceptions - My thoughts


In a world seemingly obsessed by labels, to me they don't matter, well, at all. But especially within the LGBT community, not only is everyone on the outside trying to label us, but even within our own ranks we label and separate each other.
Often you will find L/G's giving B's a hard time, saying they are confused, undecided, or too afraid to commit... sad. Not to imply that L's and G's unconditionally support each other either, because they don't. And then L/G/B's often all seem to be transphobic. Which leaves the T's, like me, feeling like we don't even get acceptance within our own communities. And we (the T's) don't really get to hate or label or separate, mainly because as T's, we are often L or G or B as well, so we would just be beating up 'ourselves'.
I just wish we could stand together more, as the one thing we all have in common for sure is that a large majority of the rest of the world HATES US! If we can't accept and help each other, what hope do we ever have of anyone else ever accepting us? Tolerance and understanding begin within :)

Have thoughts?  Please share...

Be Happy..... Next post on TG specific labels and terms (and I don't relate to ANY of them!  lol)

Until next time,
