    If you are lesbian, gay, or bi then you’re a damn fool. Do you really think the bigots will stop at demonizing trans people if they manage to eradicate them? No. You will absolutely be next. Then after you it’ll be another group. Fascists always need a boogey man to rail against. You’re participating in a moral panic no different than the satanic panic of the 1980s. Get your head out of your ass.

      Yes, that’s sort of why latearrival LGBs are now also getting on board with #droptheT movements. What many thought was a show for solidarity, and many were well intentioned, but, did not know the evil that was hiding in their midst under the guise of illness and victimhood, on the platform of equality.

      In short, it’s exactly because we know “they’re coming for us next,” that many gay people no longer want to be associated with transactivism or trans people, period. They are seeing how the effects of transactivist populations are UNDOING decades of civil rights struggles by LGBs. And though you will undoubtedly try to present some mitigating factor, gay rights were secure and becoming more accepted even in places that held long religious bans. That is, until transactivism and groomer madness arrived.

      So yes. We about droppin that T.

        You could say that about the LGBQ side, too which invalidates your comment. Conservatives will criminalize all of LGBTQ if given the chance so that is why we support the entire movement and don’t isolate one segment. People should be allowed to be who they are, that is the American way!

          No. And I know that isn’t the case because I was a part of that conversation when that was the focus of the conversation. Yes we had rightful pushback from conservatives. And you know what? We understood. We got that marriage was their institution, but gays wanted the benefits that other married couples got to enjoy too, without imposing on their religious beliefs. It was a tough fight all over the world, and fair minded conservatives did see reason enough to draw distinctions between general marriage, civil unions, partnerships and a host of other kinds of relationships that fall outside of normative Christian values.

          In many of the places and states in which such legal unions were secured, there were over a subsequent number of years more and more public support for just legalizing gay marriage altogether. For conservatives this was sort of a slap because many thought they had made it clear that marriage was their institution, and in some ways they were right to feel that way, but also they needed to recognize the ways in which marriage had evolved outside of their institution.

          This is not the same thing happening with transactivism today. They are using the guise of equality and compassion to mask a much more sinister agenda. And if you aren’t capable of seeing that yet, then we are not on the same page.

            I’ve not seen anyone else on that page either as it is quite the extreme. I’m going to go watch RuPaul’s Drag Race again as a result because your perspective is quite different than the vast majority of the population. I would not suggest making such bold statements in public forums as you will not find support for it.

        The sooner you get what you want, the sooner you go against the wall. No amount of appeasement for fascists will be enough. If you are not white, straight, and the correct flavor of Christian you will be labelled an undesirable and, if you’re lucky, given a quick end.

          Awful. What with them covering up heinous acts of child sex abuse too. See how easy it is to denounce madness on all sides when you’re willing to be objective about facts?
