I have never met a trans person and I've only known about 3 gay people personaly.. so why are they in every source of media?

    I thought I'd never meet a trans person and very few gay people in the agricultural college I attended when I went back to college. Turned out every damn one of the friends I made was somewhere on the LGBTQ spectrum. So as the other person said "as far as you know"

    Acceptance of gay and trans rights has allowed so many people to realize they're not so straight or not so cisgender and that's wonderful. People are finally finding the freedom to be who they are!

    Enough creators I follow are coming out as trans that I wonder if I'm missing something about myself. I don't think it's me... but if not, I sure can pick 'em.

    Admittedly the rate among webcomic artists is through the fucking roof.

    I support their rights, they are people, the genitals only mader in bed. I just don't want aliens in the far future watching our shows and thinking "god damn, it was femboy paradies!"

    These things are very tied together. Supporting people being who they are means supporting them if they want to publicly show their identity

    I just don’t want aliens in the far future watching our shows and thinking “god damn, it was femboy paradies!”

    What does that matter at all? Who cares what people in the far future think? What matters is what people think today, and representation helps people find their own identity and know that they're included in society

    I used to think that. But the amount of people hiding it, or just coping, is probably higher than you think.

    Like I live in a pretty small city with an average gay community, and all it took was one person coming out as trans for a bunch of others to go "oh you know what me too - let's do this," so now we have like a whole posse of trans men that I see at the gym all the time (with their gains and their cool names lol).

    I'm not saying this is always the case by any stretch, but if someone is super butch or super femme, they might not be cis.
