Apart from all the things at the top that have no sources and that honestly sound like propaganda: > Back before all of this, LGBQT people were happy to just be seen as normal and like everyone else Since when, sorry? When were we *ever* seen as normal people. Slurs flying around. People getting beat up. Suicide rates for trans youth are through the roof. Constant hate and bullying offline and online, and all of this is just for the countries that have it good. In some places, being yourself is a literal death sentence. Just the fact that you say that LGBTQ+ people were "happy" to be seen as "normal" shows how out of touch you are with the things queer people experience on a daily basis. And not only that.. what the hell does "normal" mean. What, you expect us to conform just enough that the straights don't see us as an eyesore? I shouldn't be angry about a random comment on the internet, but I am. And you know why? Because right now, at this point in time, there's many people in my country and others that say the exact same bullshit that you're saying, and they weaponize it to: - deny my right to marry my partner - deny my right to adopt kids - deny my friends' right to start HRT, so that she can stop feeling gender dysphoria every single day - stop laws that would protect me from being publicly berated in public for my sexuality - push homophobic and transphobic rethoric on their children, so that LGBTQ+ teens go through hell I'd wager that "marriage", "family", "not feeling like shit", "being respected" are pretty basic rights... aren't they?

> Since when, sorry? When were we ever seen as normal people. I said LGBQT people were happy to be seen as normal people (as their goal/ultimate achievement), and nothing more than that. Which is somewhat different than to what's happening now where it seems like special status and attention is demanded. > with the things queer people experience on a daily basis. I'm not denying these things happen. > - deny my right to marry my partner - deny my right to adopt kids - deny my friends' right to start HRT, so that she can stop feeling gender dysphoria every single day - stop laws that would protect me from being publicly berated in public for my sexuality - push homophobic and transphobic rethoric on their children, so that LGBTQ+ teens go through hell Well, shit, gays have had these worries for a long time, but on a bigger timeframe everything is shifting more and more towards acceptance and integration. Just look at how much the LGBQT movement has achieved the last few years. Absolutely unthinkable 20 years ago. Getting HRT is as easy as never before, marriage equality has been fully achieved with the Supreme Court decision in Obergefell v. Hodges in 2015. Sure, you have concerns because of the recent abortion issues, I understand and as would I if I lived in the US, but these are initially concerns, and nothing else. > I'd wager that "marriage", "family", "not feeling like shit", "being respected" are pretty basic rights... aren't they? They are, and aside of feeling like shit, which unfortunately is largely based on your own psychological issues and markup, everything of this is readily available and achievable. You know what I'm pissed about? Pushing it further and further and hurting your own cause. I can only reiterate again, I am not transphobic or anything else, I am myself bisexual, and I have no tolerance for actual hate rhetoric and propaganda in these directions. But raising valid concerns isn't any of that. I have literally been attacked for stating that I am bisexual and don't have neopronouns. The (radicalized) LGBQT movement is discriminating against races and their own peers, spreading hate, and using violent methodology to force their own political beliefs. And when you start calling people that simply raise concerns transphobic..
