I know it wasn't directed at me, but that's part of why I think all these linguistic games and identity politics are divisive bullshit. People are people, and if you need to distinguish some trait about them, use simple descriptors. It's immensely frustrating to live in a time where we really need to come together and pull to stop our species from sliding into the pit of extinction, but everyone seems to be caught up in all this petty hatred, devoting themselves to tearing others down and deifying themselves. We've had so many fucking centuries to reach the realization that our superficial differences are just that, but so many people still judge others and define themselves primarily based on those characteristics.
That premise is the real bullshit.  I've tried it, and I've spent most of my life surrounded by people that think they live by it.

It hasn't stopped people from treating me like shit, even though I've tried for decades to assimilate.  People still notice the shape of my eyes nose and body, the texture of my hair, the color of my skin, the inflection of my voice, my dialect, and the movement of my body.  In case it wasn't obvious, "just being me" doesn't help either. 

To make things worse, ignoring the identities of others makes it more difficult to empathize and communicate with them.

Without mutual acceptance of peoples' differences, there can be no means to peaceful coexistence.  What you want is impossible.

Please don't shitpost, it lowers the quality of discourse
Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

I might be biased because of the social circles I run in, so others can chime in, but based on the people I know and the percentages there-in, I REALLY look askance at those statistics. It feels like a lot more people are queer than those would imply.
Depends - I only know two gays and two lesbians in my previous year.

it's for the same reason that people of colour is a term, as in, people who are not "Default Master White Race," people who aren't seen as able to represent humanity but only their specific colour
I swear the only significant group who actually thinks that non-whites are inferior are the non-white advocates who act as though they need special attention to achieve the same things
Nah fam, just like the bants

At this point it'd come off as attention seeking if I posted in the sad thread so I'm just planning to bottle it up for about a week.

It isn't the norm
No, being gay or trans is not the most common. But being a native american isn't either, and in fact is even more rare (about 2% of the US). But you should be able to see why saying that "being native american isn't the norm" is a real asshole-ish thing to say and might get you into trouble with some people.

There are many variations in people. To label anything (that isn't harmful) as "not normal" is extremely dehumanizing.

Or do as I do, play as the TEC Loyalists, and wait out the war.

Also, it's great to see you happy about your friends here and all! And I'm perfectly confident in your ability to effortlessly pull through that thesis, Tiruin.

Splendid!
