Unimaginative and backwards-looking is not what I'm looking for in F/SF.

I can understand you hate straight nondisabled white cis men, and I won't be discussing your tastes since I have mines, but your rationalization of them is curious?
Are you being serious here?
"Straight nondisabled white cis men are a pretty small minority of our planet's population" compared to what??
There's more straight people than homosexuals.
There's more nondisabled people than disabled.
There's more cis than trans people.
There's more or less similar amount of men and women.
I don't have numbers about the skin color, but I would assume the whites aren't a "pretty small minority" anywhere in the first world west??
Any other combination of your factors would be very likely to be smaller than the already "pretty small minority" you described, making the latter the biggest of the "pretty small minorities"?
