As a member of a non-specified group X, I would hate it if people would precondemn me based on thing Y, which a part of group X does more than the average population.
Based on this hypothetical, yet relatable thought experiment, saying that a group does a bad thing because some people who happen to be in that group do that bad thing more often than other people is at the very least rude.

uhhhhh no one misunderstood what you were saying - thank you for bringing the conversation back to what matters, the struggles of the most victimized group of all time. make sure you let every queer voice on the internet know what we should focus on. i really appreciate it thanks so much <3

This might be complex, but bear with me.
If someone steals 100 euros from Alex, and someone steals 2 euros from Bob, both are victims, even though Alex lost much more.
And it just so happens that the solution for both is exactly the same.

My bad, I thought you were arguing in good faith. easy mistake. But apparently I hate queer people now.
So this is not addressed at you, but at other people who might read this:
The example of me being a straight man does not matter at all. I could have picked any other group. The solution to a society that is oppressive to some (like homosexual women) is not applying the same rhetoric of oppression and stereotype to groups that are more likely to do that oppression (like heterosexual women).
