1. I don't know if LGBT folks get the same thing, but I am guessing they do.

I am quite certain women get the same crap, because I have seen it. It's rarely directed toward me, but then I am not in the clique so maybe I get a pass or maybe it's because I don't do identity philosophy very much. I am a bit of a rainbow person so I tend to look at the big picture, I know there are a lot of people who are the victims of bigotry and seeing people deny that is infuriating. But, I am not going to play one's group is getting victimized more than another even though I am pretty sure at least one group is getting victimized more, the point is no one should be oppressed. I don't want to play degrees of oppression, lets help the most vulnerable first of course. But, lets not forget other people who also need help.
