    Real answer coming. The poster in the pic is ignorant; but at least they asked in good-ish faith, so I ain’t judging.

    Being queer (ie. anything other than straight and/or feeling the same gender as how you were born) is a crime in many countries.

    From things like…

    • not being able to donate blood if you’re gay
    • not being able to adopt only because the government wants to know if you don’t have the same genitals
    • being prohibited from pissing just because some idiots think toilets should be segregated ("separate but ‘equal’ " shit, much?).
    • child genital mutilation of intersex people (this also happens to cishet women and men!)

    to more…

    • being stigmatised and punished (fines, imprisonment or even death penalty) if you talk about (very much real) queer issues
    • bullying, harassment, physical and verbal attacks, mob attacks, misnaming and -referring
    • not being allowed to have sex together because the government is poking its ugly eye into what you do in your bedroom
    • no medication or surgery allowed which saves your life and health (vaginoplasty, a womb transplant, HRT, penile transplantation, etc…)
    • being forced to change who you are (eg conversion torture), often through cruelty and indoctrination.

    And even cishet people, with a certain “privilege”, still also suffer due to this artificial segregation, because of:

    • not being able to get medication as easily due to gatekeeping
    • abortion being limited or prohibited, and so your rights get eroded; the man controls your life. A rapist’s cells then have more rights than you!
    • men’s mental health issues not being talked about because some idiots find that “sissy” even though it’s very important for your health. This leads to increased suicides.
    • exclusion from competitions simply because of your genitals being somehow relevant (they aren’t and shouldn’t be!).
    • segregated general institutions (bathrooms, schools, etc)… I attended a school without any of these and I can tell you, it’s much better than anything, as people from ‘both’ sides learn to understand each other better.
    • cramped, hateful, ignorant responses to very real issues from police, media, and society – leading to the issues getting ignored, or worse.

    Frankly, we’d all be more relaxed with it all, if we just put a shovel up bigots’ arses, and called them pussies/hags/fools for not caring about everyone. Free speech especially means free speech for the repressed queers and allies!
