If you can’t, then make some time on your “villain better” card and volunteer for an org supporting trans youth. Learn a bit about them. Get to know someone, not just so you can say they exist, but so you actually understand their perspective.
If you’re having this much trouble even understanding what homophobia or transphobia looks like, there’s a lot of ignorance left for you to remedy. Framing being queer as a “punishment” or acknowledging the homophobia prevalent on the right as “homophobic” itself does not convey a real sense of understanding.
Put in some effort instead of offering a “no thanks” because you can’t be bothered to support them.
This is a really strange response to a pretty basic question for someone trying to position themselves as an ally to make. Why not clarify?

I already know those people well. Hence the “friends” and family. The rest of your post is just trying to paint me as something I’m not.
How do you feel about the comments in this thread that I was calling out?
