You're into something here. I think the issue is that the word "homophobia" has also been misused into retardation and people don't get what it's really supposed to mean.Anyway, that's neither here nor there. What I really wanted to point out is that there's a subtly different version of preferring a trans kid over a gay one. It isn't "wahh I'm so homophobic!! I'd rather cut my kids dick off than have a gay kid!!" (That's a great narrative for self-pitying homos to prove how oppressed they are, but it's not always the case.)I don't know what the real story is about Jazz, because I don't trust any of these people as far as I can throw them when they offer their narratives. Imo homo attraction is one thing (that's why animals will suck each other's dicks or whatever) but being intractably "gay" is just as much of a culture-bound illness as being a troon.
The other version, most often seen in idiot liberal boomers, goes more like this: "Being gay is going to ruin my kids life because he's going to end up struggling. He'll be seen as a pervert or someone who chose it, he won't be taken seriously in his marriage, etc. If he's trans though, people will understand that's a serious medical condition. They won't think he's a deviant or pick on him. And he'll be able to marry a nice man and have a normal life."
Now obviously that's dumb to think and it doesn't work that way (troons are even crazier and don't pass, etc), but that's what boomers were taught. That's what everybody was taught up until 5 minutes ago. Maybe you faggots think "hey, that's all 'homophobic' too!" or whatever, and maybe you're right. But it isn't always as cut and dried as "his mom decided gay is gross and hated him so much she wanted to chop his DICK off!!!" Like most idiots who mutilate their kids, they actually think they're doing a good job. Plus, they get special attention and ass-pats, too. Even a whole TV show.
God, just bring us another flood, tbh
"-phobia" is an irrational fear or disgust that would make you act equally irrational at the object of your fear and limites your own life because of it. It's not homophobia if you've never interacted with gay people before and you're worried if they will pass it to you if you touch them. You know what else is not homophobia? Religious reservations about homosexuality. As wrong as they can be, these reservations are based in a set of conclusions and the fact that many religious people think they can be cured is misguided compassion rather than fear. It's not irrational to think that God will punish your son for being gay. It's only irrational if you don't believe in God.
In fact, I'd say the word only exists to shame people who, when the first gay rights movements came out, knew nothing about homosexuality and had valid questions and criticisms: "No, I'm not a degenerate, you're irrational and mentally ill!"
Gonna say what I previously said: anybody is an ally until the gay kid is your kid. Also, anybody can believe gender doesn't matter until it's your ass the one about to be pounded by a black abominable "woman". Jeanette is young enough to have grown up knowing that boys playing with dolls doesn't mean they're gay, but until it was her own child doing it, one can't know how you will react, ally or not.
