Why should I help the queer community?

When you lot set yourselves up as my judge, jury and executioner because you hated that I expressed a different view.

It's easy to dislike you guys when you're all acting like a bunch of precious sausages that can't handle the daily reality of being misgendered or told that I'm not allowed to be myself because people may have seen my dick. 1. It was unintentional. 2. Communication is key. Literally telling me would have been good, and some people in my world were actually willing to be that blunt. You haven't supported my gender expression kaupapa, and in fact you have literally challenged the very idea that I'm trans. If you guys have enemies, it's because you're unable to hear opposing points of view. I've had a wealth of friends across the spectrum of the rainbow community, but very few of those are fans of the gay scene in Wellington. The reason that I'm not a regular at Scotty and Mals or Ivy is because I feel like I might get raped.
