Be bold, post it, with a disclaimer if you feel you need it!

You might even not get downvoted too much!

Ok. It was in reference to this post https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/14323952

I wanted to comment “I’m so gay I’m straight”

[–] galoisghost@aussie.zone 23 points 4 months ago (3 children)

It comes from a place of love not hate. Like “I’m so different I’m normal.”

I have nothing but love and admiration for our trans brothers and sisters.

our trans brothers and sisters.

Just a tip, while we're at it - "siblings" is more inclusive, since not everyone fits in a binary! Same goes for using "folks" (or one of several other alternatives) instead of "ladies ad gentlemen".

Also, I've definitely seen that joke made before in that context, so you can feel relief that the idea is out there lol

right, it takes so much courage to go through the acceptance and the transformation, even if it means being in danger, because it's an even higher cost not to do anything.

I had the exact realization as that meme and also made that joke to my friends, it's a good ass joke 🏳️‍⚧️⚧️❤️

Just say "when you're so gay you're straight." Stack overflow. I'm bi, but realizing I'm trans still made all my straight crushes gay and my gay crushes straight.

hehe, I'm gay and i'm not offended, if that's a relief :)
