You are beeing very vague in what you describe so I wil be as well. If that means I’m talking about something else I’m sory. As a cis guy the way I understand it is, that some spaces meant for internal discussion about problems that are unique to LGBTQ+ people in order to share experience and advice where most people who are not part of the group can’t say anything since they aren’t affected. Since that is most people hetero peple are not welcome there in general for simplicity’s sake. Those spaces are not meant as an Information desk and they don’t have to be one since there are other spaces on the internet that can act as that. No one should have to be forced to be an information provider for something they are born with. The same as no blind person is obligated to answer your questions about their condition.
Well that’s fair, it has been a while since I ran into a LGBTQ+ community online, so it might have changed, but like I said I have heard it from others as well.

You are right about that, but I wasn’t commenting on threads like that per say, because well I don’t have a clue about it.
But I have comment on a thread about say gender-neutral bathrooms, some people prefer them and some people don’t. I responded that the trans people I know preferred their current gendered bathroom because well they are that gender.
People didn’t like that I said that, but maybe it is because like somebody else said, so many people lie on the internet and such.
