I'm a gay woman and I fucking hate it when "oppressed" groups make generalized statements about the "majority" group. It's fucking stupid. "Ugh, I hate men!" or "ugh, white people!" or "straight people are evil" or, apparently, "die cis scum".... This is fucking absurd rhetoric and anyone who uses it deserves to be slapped.

Let's be real. Generalizing ANY group is not okay, and if we don't want people to generalize us, then maybe we should work on not doing it, too. It's embarrassing, extremist, and guess what? it doesn't help anything, it does nothing at best and even makes it worse.

So I'm the OP of the first comment and I've realised since then that I've been talking about totally different kind of statements.

What I disagree with is feeling personally offended when there's a reason to talk about a group. Right now there's a lot of frustration about people shifting conversation over to how important allies are instead of gay and trans* rights. In that kind of context when someone says 'Ugh just stop' and someone straight gets offended and responds 'But I'm not like that!!' I think that's more of a selfish reaction. People do appreciate when you act properly and feeling like someone's trying to insult you in that case really makes no sense to me.

Being like 'I wish straight people would just die' may not have the same background as saying the same about gay people (mostly because people are still trying that?) but it's stupid to condone.

Sorry I presumed completely the wrong thing here! Those kind of gross blanket statements really are bad even if a person is frustrated.
