I doubt I’m the only one, though the days you’re not allowed to say out loud, even if you’re gay, or you’ll get attacked by the trans lobby language far more ugly and obscene than anythg I’ve heard om the supposedly bigoted reactnary Right. Gay people, liberated om the nstrats of what the femists ll “heteropatriarchal norms, ” should be joyfully and exuberantly phg boundari – not watchg their speech, lt they cur the wrath of some tack-sptg cross-drser.
There’s an argument to be ma that the whole trans project is herently and eply homophobic, bee tells young gay men that they n’t have certa mannerisms or be attracted to other men whout needg surgery to bee women. The G LGBT has been a load-bearg wall for the whole alphabet soup crew for s, and we extraordary gays, the bt gays, are tired of pullg along every sgle alternative sexualy when they expect to do the heavy liftg while they do the easy griftg.
Instead, they celebrate parents who announce that their five-year-old kids are “trans” and whack them on hormon when all the evince suggts that, left to their own vic, the kids will grow up to be perfectly happy gay men. As gay rights battl are won everywhere, and homosexuals feel better able to exprs their real polil preferenc, the progrsive prs and gay tablishment are nniptns tryg to wrtle wh the existence of nservative homosexuals.

I get that the old days was nice to have somewhere to hang out together, but lezzers don’t even want that any more: male gay bars are open to everyone, but their dyke equivalents are very often women-only.

Over 1, 000 people have signed a petn requtg that all major LGBT advocy anizatns and media outlets "Drop the T" om their acronyms, claimg that the transgenr muny's goals are "actually hostile to the goals of women and gay men.
