Politics rant

When it comes to rainbow politics, I'm sick of people saying that I'm anti-gay. I campaigned for Marriage Equality even when I was young and confused. I'm all for human rights, and that's what my particular campaign is focused on. I'm not really part of the gay scene; I'm very much part of the trans scene, though I'm mostly in all these cis spaces atm while I'm reporting and trolling. - However, I really hate it when privileged people try to speak for me. I'm plenty capable of typing and speaking for myself; that's what I've been doing since 2019. That's what I feel about the damn non-binaries, and it's hella annoying. People accused me of 'speaking for' various communities in my scripts, yet my enemies are allowed to do the same thing without being criticised? That's bullshit.
