probably, but you’re reinforcing their stupid wrong notions that either of those things are bad. even if it were possible to “make someone gay”
people don’t “become gay” any more than they “become straight”
isnt that a possible effect of hrt?
i don’t know enough about hrt to answer that question, but i can tell you know people on hrt (trans and not) who haven’t “switched orientations” because of it
as far as i know, its possible(not guaranteed) to lose attraction to a gender or gain attraction to a gender after starting HRT
At that point, why not just go for both orientations? If you were like, comfortable with one, then became comfortable with another. Like, what is stopping them, social shame? Some straight relations bullshit?
Sometimes you have to use people’s own biased and stupid notions against them to get them to positively change.
The master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house. There is no ‘positive’ application of homophobia, even if the intent is to do something positive.
You put it more elegantly than I ever could. I have thought about this before and couldn’t really put it to words
Oh, I wish I could take credit for the first sentence, it’s an Audre Lorde quote from an essay of the same name. It’s very succinct!
you can’t use logic to get someone out of a position they didn’t use logic to enter, but you can use basic (benevolent) emotional manipulation to gently steer them to a slightly less crazy/hateful cult.
whether the time investment to do that is worth it depends on the person/how valuable they and your time are to you
you can’t use logic to get someone out of a position they didn’t use logic to enter. at best you can try and gently steer them to a slightly less crazy/hateful cult, by using basic (benevolent) emotional manipulation
