I find it slightly concerning that he seems to be getting a load of stick for the third bullet point and the rest is being ignored. Yes, he should have fully studied the sources of the information, but the rest of the bullet points are valid.
Suicide rates are higher in gay people - not because we have some sort of mental disorder - but because some (not all) sectors of society still aren't accepting of homosexuality. Clearly if no one derided homosexuality no one would kill themselves over it.
So many people seem to be so eager to slate the "TRAs" (or whatever you want to call them) that the L, G and B stuff is either getting ignored or attracting snide remarks -- e.g. the 'isn't the rainbow zebra crossing so awful because a couple of horses reared up when approaching it?' Is that really a big issue? Or 'why do they need 'Pride'? Everyone is fine with gays now". The post perfectly explains why Pride Month is still needed.
This isn't aimed at anyone in particular here, I just dislike the sidelining of gay issues over the trans thing. Rant over.
Just some musings this morning after the month of Pride has happened.
I definitely feel sorry for the LGB as it’s clear Pride has been hijacked by Trans people and also straight people who want to be seen as interesting or whatever. I fear that homophobia will rise because more people will become weary of all the thought-policing the TRAs are doing and because the messaging has become all messed up with the flags etc, less tolerant people might lash out and it affect LGB. Just a few years ago the LGB community message was Love is Love and we finally sorted out the marriage and a lot of society genuinely accepting.
LGB never sought to infringe upon the rights of anyone else, just wanted to be treated fairly and with respect. However, a few year later the TRAs come along, start shouting over the LGB, and essentially hijack Stonewall and are telling gay and straight people what to think, they are gaslighting us, telling us to ‘be kind’, telling us we must capitulate etc, our schools are being infiltrated with anti-science messages, grooming etc, none of which the LGB did. Young lesbians and gay children are now being put on pathways to trans ID or surgery or hormones when they should just have time and support to either treat their dysphoria (if they have that regarding their body), and support and acceptance, if it is their sexuality they are discovering. This born in the wrong body/thou shalt use pronouns/accept pensises in changing rooms is dangerous and infringes on us all in some way.
I really think we risk a generation of young LGB kids being harmed, and it’s going to be a massive scandal when everyone wakes up. Even trans people are being harmed by their own ideology because they are selling themselves harmful lies. Look at Yaniv who we are told has issues with the surgery (rotting parts)...they are setting themselves up for a life of hurt.
Pride is needed, but, not how it is going. People need to distinguish the difference between LGB and T, imo. People don’t need a month of being told off by their banks (Barclays) for not doing this or that, people need to be able to talk about Biology in class without being cancelled. People need to be able to sell flower emboridery patches in webshops without being cancelled for gender critical views. Kids need to be able to go to school and learn about diversity and equality without the extreme T ideology grooming them behind their parents’ backs. I see tweets and facebook posts from parents who say half a dozen kids in their kid’s class alone are NB or Trans ID... this is madness.
I really feel sorry for lesbians who can’t even use dating apps now without trans ID men appearing, and being cancelled for questioning it. The whole lesbians should accept penis thing is just astoundingly evil. It’s coercive.
I stand by LGB but I’m really struggling to see why I should support the T at the moment.
seriously?!
