like, i know hating on cis/hetero people for being cis/hetero is a thing, but is it a big problem like transphobia is? like some people have varying degrees on cis/heterophobia hatred like "hating on cis/straight people is bad" to "hating on cis/straight people is just as bad as transphobia/homophobia and as a queer person, i think that cis/straight people are a 'dying breed'".

like, is it true that cis/hetero hatred is just as bad as queer hatred? i doubt it but idk, i hear that it's just as bad a lot.

No, it can never be "as bad" because the system is built for cis/het. Just like "racism against white people". The racism is structural and favors white people. Its not 50/50 when one is in charge

Is hating someone because of an attribute they don't have any control over bad? Yes.

Are hetero & cis people disadvantaged by cis/heterophobia if it exists? No.
