    Why are gay men (obviously not all gay men, or all LGBT people)
    given to such Drama.

    It is a very unappealing characteristic.

    Is it something that is more pronounced in the LGBT world.

    You don't get more 'drama' than some straight men who drink to excess and cause mayhem but let's focus on the gay lads :rolleyes:

    Because society has taught LGBT people to hate themselves and so many are ****ed up beyond belief and take it out on each other

    No offence but you seem to be exactly what you're complaining about, going by your posts

    Let's not have a slagging match here, if you want to have a discussion about toxic behavior in the LGBT community start a new thread and let's keep it civil please.

    Hey, that's my take, based on what I have encountered in the community. Cliquey behaviour and even some predatory ****. You don't have to like me, but those the facts, Jack

    How long have you been “out” Jack?

    Can you give us some examples of this drama as a gay man?

    Trans woman, actually. And, yeah, getting hit on by chasers at an LGBT meet. Support groups being cliquey as **** (especially other trans women who don't like it when they ain't the prettiest in the room). Crossdressers invading trans spaces and being really inappropriate (BTW Thanks TENI for lumping us all in with those guys). All gross. And that's just the tip of an iceberg. Oh and bitter queens who are transphobiic as ****. You get them on here from time to time too.

    Sounds to me that you just want to be loved by trans people. You feel excluded. How long have you had this fascination with Trans women?

    See, i would never have got that from your original posts. It puts a new spin on things.

    Nah, why would I want to invite more toxicity into my life. As I said the community is full of damaged people. I've been damaged enough without inviting more of that crap in.

    Cheers, though
