Almost half the people here believe your sexuality/gender makes you an inferior human being? Wow, it's an eye-opener. I certainly thought this forum is more progressive than that.


Diddly Squat ! 😆


The thread topic is Homophobia/Transphobia in Bollywood - to which most people must responded in affirmative - yes but in same the thread your poll question is - does alternative sexuality make someone inferior which most would have said - no ..


You effed up by putting two contradicting questions in the same thread and giving people the three options to respond to the two very different questions .. So the results are petty much expected .. 😆

I wanted to understand whether there is an audience for such regressive cinema and there clearly is. There's no fuçking up here. This pretty much answered my question.

LGBT is natural and very much part of society... But is drag stuff natural or not?

I might sound drag-phobic but it gives creepy looking at them..

Sorry bro it might be disappointing to you but i said what i feel about them. I personally dont include myself in their mocking in real life and keep my distance , but i am not going to support them either. I act neutral and keep my feelings for them to myself. Neither supporting nor bashing.


But this post asked for opinions. i am not hurting anyone in real world with my opinion. I just don't feel compassion for them. If you are born with a specific part, you are that person only. Running from biology isn't healthy imo. You ( general ) can feel whatever u like and have some people supporting that mindset..anyways not my problem, but don't expect everyone to feel the same! .And Better they sort it out.

I read in uk they wanted to start gender neutral class for kids and some children went home saying i m a girl or boy which led to parents stop sending kids to schools and scrapped the class.


I have problem with this big time brainwashing of little kids. Is it appropriate according to you teach kids that you can be anything? Let them decide with age .


I don't know and u can see it as disgusting and i understand where u come frm. But i said what i feel about them. And it is not going to change. Reforms are started by community and they start doing themselves. It is not others duty to speak for them.


Yeah government should do their job and start providing more jobs for them and chances of education . They need to start living with dignity as well. Harassing people is not going to help that cause.

It will become norm with both parties cooperate. For 1% of population , whole country doesn't need to bend .


Government cannot solve all problems when it comes to mentality and mindset. Trans people are already oppressed so much in society, how many people will let them live and work with dignity?


And please, it is not up to you or anyone else to decide what someone's identity should be. If someone genuinely feels that they belong to a gender different from the assigned one, then they should be allowed to have that identity. I understand that you are speaking from bad personal experiences, but its extremely cruel to say that trans people have mental problems. Psychology used to have the term "gender dysphoria" to describe trans people before, but now it is no longer recognized as a disorder by mainstream psychology.


Let's strive to create a world where people can live freely and peacefully without hate and prejudice.

I dont like trans. If u r born with junk, you feeling like women won't make u one or vice versa. Simple and i m not going to change what i feel about it. If i had a daughter i would never let her go share a toilet with a man who feels he is a woman .. .

I dont go on fighting them but i dont support them either. Frankly one even touched my private part, during public travel infront of everyone bcoz i refused to give money. It happens all the time.

If they want respect start working like others and stop harassing people,they have made their own image wrongly. First try to improve urself and then ask people to respect you. Simple and i dont feel like supporting 1% of society to bend themselves for such minority to please them. I m not going to rallies against them but i dont wamna support them either. I dont want to be such woke.

No problem with gays. Not harming me a bit. I have close friends who r gay. But nope i don't like trans people . Get some treatment for ur mental problems. Visit a doctor or something.

why don’t you visit a doctor or something

Seriously want to help you, personal attack mat samajhlena

Idk how to quote so many comments together so I'll just post the points :


1. Being aware of what's offensive to LGBTQ+ people and staying away from 'jokes' about them is not political correctness. It's basic human decency not to joke about marginalized sections of the society who have been hurt physically and mentally by society at large. By joking about them you are in fact further pushing them into marginalization.


2. Trans people are valid according to psychology now so no random Tom, Dick or Harry can question what trans people feel or go through lol. On this planet and throughout history the third gender has been here and will continue to be here. Third gender have found their way in culture, literature, history. You can't erase their identity by calling them mentally ill.

In fact, gender identity disorder/ gender dysmorphia at one point of time used to be in the mental disorder list but is now called gender incongruence and is on the sexual health list. This is significant because this change has been made through decades of study. One CANNOT disapprove science. If I remember correctly, there is a male brain/female brain distinction and sexual organs do not always play any part in it. So yeah, transgender/eunuch/third gender identity is as real as it gets.


3. One single incident from any gender can never be the basis of calling a whole gender mentally ill. If it's a pattern for many decades then perhaps it could have been. But for one single incident if we start doing that then men, women, trans people, literally everybody on the planet is mentally unsound cause atleast one of each would at some point in your life give you a bad experience.
