What do you mean people in the LGBTQ community don’t talk to you IRL? Do you mean that as a kind of fearing a minority thing or because they’re extra careful about the general rule of not outing people you clock?
I’m a white trans woman, but I live in a very diverse area. So the idea of avoiding someone because of their ethnicity is kinda foreign to me. Where I am, PoC are generally more respectful if not friendly to queer people than most white people are.
Yeah that’s gotta be a Texas/southern thing. I live in New York and the idea of just assuming a middle eastern seeming person is an extremist sounds ridiculous.

I mean as in people assume I may be a religious extremist at first. I live in Texas so that may be different?
