Here are a few I’ve heard:
- “Identifying as demisexual is just a form of slut-shaming”
- “‘Demisexuality’ is just the human norm, most people don’t fuck someone they just met”
- “Asexual claims of discrimination are an insult to the Black Americans who struggled in the Civil Rights Movement”
- “Anyone who identifies as asexual is either an incel in denial or has a medical problem that needs to be cured”
“Being trans is wrong because it hurts the person that’s trans since most people are mean to trans people”
He followed it up with the zinger of “being trans is a sin because Christians won’t accept you and therefore you’ll find acceptance in the gay community and they’ll turn you gay, which is a sin.”

“You will never be a woman. You will always look like a man” - my former therapist 10 years ago
Like, look at me now, you sack of shit. I’m cute as fuck
therapist
Gatekeepers deserve the wall
“Ah yes, today as a mental health professional I will tell my patient that she is not valid and should always doubt herself.”
How compelling, get in the big pot of boiling water.
I question if anyone has ever been as wrong as your therapist was. You’re literally cute! <3
My therapist:
“‘They’ is never a singular pronoun” from someone who was a high school English teacher no less
It’s older than singular “you”!
Even before pronouns were in vogue, I’ve been using ‘they’ as a singular pronoun my entire life in colloquial language without even thinking about it. English teachers tend to be prescriptionist pedants though, obsessed more with grammar and syntax rules than with legibility and communication.
It’s like they think language is a magic spell that you have to use the right formula for
I once got told not to do use singular they for a character who was literally genderless and non-corporeal
The person in question was like “editors won’t accept that” and all I could think was “motherfucker, it’s sci-fi, that is far from the most ‘out there’ thing in the genre’s published works”
I’m writing a character now who is an arch fey and a patron to the MC. I use xe/xir as pronouns. It’s kinda fun. Xe got the MC in a horribly 1 sided pact and talks in nearly unreadable legalese.
"[…] Unless you’re prepared to articulate a revision of an expanded remunerative profile then your harmonious departure is the most fruitful course of action.”
“You can go fuck yourself.”
“I am in parallel concordance.”
I also got this one from my high school english teacher.
“‘man’ is gender neutral”
maybe a thousand years ago

It was. In old English man meant human, and wer (now the basis for the word werewolf) was the name for an adult male.
Chuds literally believe your local drag queen is putting estrogen in the water supply to target little Timmy and turn him trans.

I absolutely hated tap water and drank nothing but cola as a child. The forced feminizers really need to learn more about children.
“Trans people exist because of the estrogen they give chickens”
As we all know, there aren’t any trans vegans.
- Bisexuals are just greedy
- Had a lightly boozed up and slightly sunburnt cishet white man, finishing his lawn decide to ask me if I’m trans. I told him it’s not his business. And he began to talk about his kid (AFAB, and so obviously trans it hurts) questioning that, “but she got over it”.
I’m a cis bi guy in college, with mostly straight male friends
People have straight up told me they assumed I must be some male-manipulator player who sleeps around a lot. Like they genuinely think people are bi to maximize the amount we get laid?
I told a friend I’ve only been with one person because I’m only interested in relationships and haven’t felt in the headspace for one, and he straight up thought I was kidding
Also, I’m pretty masculine, so a lot of people assume I must be “mostly straight,” with maybe a little attraction to femboys. And when I tell them I’m equally into women and gay men, they seem to think that means I probably won’t wanna settle down with one person. (imagine if people assumed this for anyone attracted to different ethnicities or hair colors??)
Their lifestyle will affect you, if they get elected.
They’re right. When I get elected into office bisexuality will be legally mandated. They found me out ): /s
[paraphrasing] “people with non-cisheteronormative identities should not bring up their identities to people because it’s confusing”
-
“Asexuals are just looking for attention”
-
“People are confusing children by teaching them about gay people”
-
“People should only transition at 27”
“People should only transition at 27”
Shit my window closed. Oh well, back into the closet I go.
“Asexuals are just looking for attention”
Is it that hard to understand that like, most people are asexual except for one gender, and asexuals are just asexual for the other genders too
Asexuals are just looking for attention
It’s almost the opposite actually.
People should only transition at 27
Why is this number so specific?
Something something “the brain fully matures at 27”

Cishet here (sorry) but I remember reading a story about how some guy killed and dismembered his dad because he worked for the “woke-controlled government” - and I remember reading it because I was at a bonfire with a bunch of friends who are heads of local public infrastructure/engineering depts who happen to all be lesbian lol 🤷
One of my close friends growing up was extremely Christian and literally believed that gay people’s bodies were physiologically different than straight people’s. He refused to accept that his prostate could offer pleasure to him the same way it might a gay man. Basically, he hated gays so much that he wanted to physically separate himself from the idea of them as much as possible.
Which was great for me surrounded by that as a closeted teen.
Fun fact, he simultaneously believed that being gay was a choice. Not sure how you reconcile those two ideas but I imagine he wasn’t thinking too closely about it.

That amount of brain twisting logic is on par with famers who hate socialism but they will complain if farm subsidies checks are late or decreased…
These people vote.
Hard to pick a highlight but this one always fucks my brain up and I’ve heard it a handful of times from different people
- “If you’ve had surgery why do you still disclose? You’re not trans any more right?”
- “If you’ve had surgery why do you still disclose? You’re not trans any more right?”
I would pay good money to see this person argue with the UK legal system, who recently declared a trans women as a sex offender because she didn’t tell one of her sexual partners she was trans.
There should be no gay bars because they are a “special right”, and straight people don’t “need everyone in the room to have the same sexuality as themselves”.
The thing that made this take even more ridiculous is that I heard it from a westerner living in Japan. She talked about how she didn’t feel the need to take her Japanese boyfriend to “exclusively heterosexual spaces”. The fact that non-heterosexuals are under pressure to keep their sexuality private and thus find it much harder to find partners at work or outside queer spaces had never crossed her mind.
I have my own criticisms about gay bars (especially in Japan) and how they can be incredibly insular and often have very toxic gender norms, but her take was so dumb.
