Well in the first place I was more annoyed that the OP was looking for some sign of positive reinforcement from gay people and I've really not changed my stance on that. That's really not someone anyone should feel entitled to. I got angry thinking they were one of those people who always derails discussions about problems some group has created by calling out 'but I'M not like that'. I posted a bit too fast and later I realised that they were more upset by blanket hate statements than by not being recognised as a nice person.

Being bombarded with messages like 'die cis scum' and 'I wish straight people would just die' and feeling frustrated by them is something I can understand and agree with. The people with the issue there are the posters who spew all their hate into all-encompassing insults. I ranted on generalisations when I was still in the line of thinking it was a bit like talking about how certain feminist groups are awful and someone feeling the need to point out THEY don't do x, y, z as a feminist as if they found an insult towards them in something that wasn't really about them in the first place. Feeling insulted because someone dismissed your entire sexuality is different, I accept that.

So I'm not really sure how you got to me apparently feeling like not a single one of OP's problems is real? Of course OP can have problems, I just don't think not receiving some form of approval from the gay community is a problem. Feeling frustrated because you feel like people hate you for what you are before they know you? Yeah that's a problem and I can understand it'd get a person down. Do they really need anyone's approval though? Wanting gay people to recognise that they're alright rather than realising the posters are out of line won't go anywhere but I get what they mean now. Spewing hate statements like that isn't something I can condone and I'm sorry I gave that impression.

I don't think they're looking for recognition from gay people, I think they're looking for a place where they can feel okay being straight, white, and cis without being insulted, like those things are somehow bad or wrong.
