I apologize for forcing that on jewish people, since it was rather rude of me. I am not jewish myself, so I didn't know it would be offensive.
Sorry about that.

I haven't had much exposure to the usage of the word straight privilege, so I haven't fully formed an opinion on its use, but I do feel comfortable applying it to myself. I'm a femme-presenting dfab person who is sometimes comfortable being referred to with she/her pronouns and other terms associated with femininity and women, and I am attracted to guys. This makes me much less of a target to homophobic people compared to other queer people with different gender identities and presentations. Although if I were to be in a relationship with a male it wouldn't make me "less queer", it would make me less susceptible to homophobic comments. That's sort of how I visualize "straight privilege" in my mind, without currently having any prior knowledge of its present use or application. But I only apply that logic to myself as an individual.

"Straight privilege" is being able to pass as straight, so that you aren't subjected to biphobia, or someone saying "you're just curious" or "you're just scared to come out" and similar comments. Or at least, that's how I've seen it used.
 
When people say to me, being gay is not natural I'm like that's stupid because a) people are born that way so it kind of is natural and b) animals have shown bisexual behaviour so clearly it's been around just as along. When people say the bible say it's wrong I say the bible says slavery is right so clearly it makes some huge mistakes.

(Warning, religious people may find this offensive.) I think why society is heteronormative (and cisnormative) is because of religion. Everyone in the Bible? Cis and hetero. Now, I don't know much about the "wrongs and rights" of other religions besides Christianity. But in the Bible, it also says that if a woman is not a virgin when she gets married, she must be killed, and many other things that are not socially acceptable now. I also hate the argument "being gay is a choice" because a) if it was a choice, same-gender relationships never would have existed because they would always find the other gender attractive and b) who would chose to be not cis and hetero? People in the LGBT community go through a lot of crap for simply being born the way they were. Especially trans people. I don't see what would make people feel so rebellious that they would chose a life of discrimination.

I defiantly agree with you there. I hate it when people use gay as an insult because it shouldn't be

I think this is all Cool and True but also, even if it were a choice to be gay that provides no reasons as to why it's bad? I can choose to do lots of things which are okay... like wear a purple t-shirt. Maybe I wasn't born wanting to wear one, maybe I wanted to because I like purple t-shirts but that's no reason to ostracise me socially/say I'm evil?

Similarly with 'homosexuality isn't natural' argument. 1) yes it is, gay penguins and deer and hyenas etc etc but 2) even if it weren't, why do you care? What about 'natural' is 'good'? Because let's face it, if we have to go back to only 'natural' things, we would be living in caves with no clothes or....internet. We live in a society where natural stuff is practically erased and everything around us is manufactured - why do I care whether those guys kissing is more natural than my iPad?
 
I personally am bisexual, but it annoys me to know end when my male friends give me the -wink wink -nudge nudge lets have a party ;D

Like no, go away. Just because I like boys and girls doesn't mean I'm interested in partying with you.
 
it really breaks my heart when i see people who need help on the trans housing network and im unable to help them. like i see people looking for houses around seattle and i really wish i could help them but my parents would be against it..but im posting this here just in case any trans person needs a home or can offer a home

yes omg that is so cute. my friend mack is also afab and they have a similar hairstyle, you would definitely rock it.

i'm actually in the opposite situation, i'm trying to grow my hair out since i'm not comfortable with short hair. it's almost touching my shoulders now. :)
