a gay man being flamboyant and a cishet author having their only gay character a femenine dramatic man are two different things
a bi person being flirtatious and dating whoever they want and a cishet author having their only bi character be promiscuous are two different things
a trans man being ok with his body and dressing femininely and a cis author making their transmasc characters hyper femenine with hourglass bodies are two different things
lgbt+ ppl are allowed to fit stereotypes and be proud of who we are and how we are. we are in charge. we decide how we wanna look and act.
cishets thinking we are all walking homophobic/transphobic caricatures is not the same. its bigotry. and it should be called out.
All true, and might I also add the ever-popular “A woman being feeling empowered by showing off her body and a male author having their ‘empowered’ female character dress exclusively in stripper-grade spandex are two different things”
