maybe the reason they're "not listening" is because your argument is stupid. but apparently telling them over and over again will somehow convince them. you go ahead and do that, i guess.
there's a lot of problems in the gay community, including with misogyny, but this is not one of them. (really, i think the biggest one is the way a lot of gay men will shame women for their bodies - not as in their vaginas, but as in calling them fat or ugly or things like that. that's a much bigger problem that isn't even addressed here)

Strike one, this was written by a white person not a black women, so you already exposed yourself there.
Strike two, the weave issue goes beyond a hairstyle, being ignorant about it comes from your privilege.
Strike three, just because you're gay doesn't mean you have to ignore the misogyny in this community until "all problems are solved"
So ignorant omg.
see where your ass would be without women, including trans women. we have long been avid supporters of gay rights and a LOT of the progress when it comes to gay equality was because of women and their actions. without us you'd be much worse off. we're your greatest ally and it's better the sooner you realize that
