PEZ 6,312 Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Ya I thought this was sweet to hear... I spent most of the last week getting misgendered and misnamed constantly by one of the few people I've come out to, no matter how much I gently pushed back on that, so it was reassuring to see not everybody gets the same indecent treatment. And that maybe it's worthwhile to keep trying and find other people who are more supportive / less dismissive and go forward with additional / more medical aspects of transition instead of totally retreating back in the closet socially. Idk it felt nice to see a nice outcome for someone for once, is all I'm saying โก๐ฒ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine writing a whole dissertation about how demi is white and rich when they're just saying their family adopted their pronouns... is it not tiring to be this negative for no reason It's upsetting because many of us here are LGBTQ, so many of us should know better than to minimize someone else's journey or experience being LGBTQ. Like, if you don't like them personally, fine. I'm not even a fan of Demi, but it's alarming that people are hateful and aggressive towards them. ๐๐ฅ๐ข ๐ช๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ฆ๐ '๐ฐ ๐ค๐ฌ๐ซ๐ซ๐ ๐๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ซ๐ค ๐ช๐ข ๐๐๐ ๐จ ๐ฃ๐ฏ๐ฌ๐ช ๐ก๐ข๐๐ฑ๐ฅ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I legitimately don't understand why there is so much vitriol around them. Just because you don't like them personally doesn't mean that you can invalidate their experience and/or identity.ย Itโs because theyโve queerbaited before and this feels like itโs solely to repackage their image after the whole yogurt thing. Part of me seriously doubts theyโre NB. she also makes it very hard for people with EDโs to talk about their issues. Demi has made it into a victimhood thing and only uses it to bring attention to herself and not advocate for actual awareness. its โme me meโ constantly when if their actually gonna advocate, it should never be.

I never followed the whole yogurt debacle. I don't know what they said, and frankly, I don't care because I don't think it should invalidate their experience as a non-binary person. I also just don't think they're the type of person to "fake" being non-binary. I mean, from what I've seen of Demi in the pastโcause I don't really follow themโthey seem genuine. And I mean...when a big famous popstar who used to be a child star "all of a sudden" (to the majority of the population) "becomes" non-binary, then of course people are going to ask them questions. Non-binary gender identitiesย are still something that people are getting used to. If people want to ask about their experience, then you can't blame that on Demi. I mean, they'reย not a pedophile, theyย didn't murder someone, they didn't rob a bank, they aren'tย participating in human tracking. They're literally just a pop star sharing their experiences being non-binary. I don't get why people act like they literally killed a kid on national television or something. If people think they'reย annoying, okay, whatever, but that still shouldn't invalidate their identity. ๐๐ฅ๐ข ๐ช๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ฆ๐ '๐ฐ ๐ค๐ฌ๐ซ๐ซ๐ ๐๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ซ๐ค ๐ช๐ข ๐๐๐ ๐จ ๐ฃ๐ฏ๐ฌ๐ช ๐ก๐ข๐๐ฑ๐ฅ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people think they'reย annoying, okay, whatever, but that still shouldn't invalidate their identity. Nobody is invalidating their identity, and if they are, theyโre a$$holes. The issue is theyย haveย a history of queerbaiting and doing things to uphold theirย image. Theyย used theirย overdose not as a way to promote drug abuse awareness until this Dancing With The Devil and before that it was a grab for sympathy. Theyย made it about โme me feel bad for meโ instead of spreading awareness. Iโm not saying theyย shouldโve right after the issue, but a lot of time passed and theyย kinda used it just for sympathy and milked it for all it was worth for theirย own good and not really wanting to help others. ย same with theirย EDโs and self harm. Theyย rarely ever talked about it outside of a selfish way and never really did a lot of activism to spread awareness as well. im not saying that theyย should do those things but when you call yourself an โactivistโ for those things, youโd expect someone to do all that ya know? For the queerbaiting, Cool For The Summer was a pretty easy one right there. It just kinda came at a time when theyย wereย getting a little bit of flack for body shaming skinny girls by saying they arenโt โreal bodiesโ and such. Theyย wereย like โomg im bi guysโ. Same with the non-binary thing and the yogurt debacle. It just feels forced and not genuine at all.ย Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shale101 99 Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 16 hours ago, Reality said: Doesn't mean that they can't have problems in their home lives though. I understand, Demi is in a position where they're more privledged than other LGBTQ people, but that doesn't invalidate their experiences. All LGBTQ people have a common understanding of feeling "othered" and I think it's kinda pointless to feel like only some LGBTQ people get your support. Money doesn't solve all problems. We've heard Gaga talk about this numerous times. People can talk about their experiences AND advocate for others. They're not mutally exclusive.ย We don't need infighting in the LGBTQ community when this world's already against us.ย Do you support Caitlyn Jenner? ย Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage 1,785 Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 This is sweet, give them a break!ย Gaga is literally the Queen of Kindness and many of us do not follow in our footsteps. Letโs be better ๐ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
