No, the "establishment at large" does not even agree I should exist. Many publications (and now some US states and both likely candidates for future prime minister of the UK) constantly opine people like me would just go away if we just got talked out of it hard enough. The "establishment at large" loves to debate about which rights I should have, opines on if I should be allowed to participate in sports without being informed on the mechanics or ever caring about "women's sports" before it turned into a culture war topic, if I should be able to use public toilets safely (trick question, it's never safe). Or, DeSantis special, if my mere existence being discussed in schools constitutes grooming... I could go on all day.
TikTok and YouTube both have a policy of limiting the spread of anything they can identify as LGBT. If I choose not to censor myself on these platforms my reach will be null. So I'm directly affected.
I just don't think it's somehow impossible to draw a line of acceptable behavior on that platform. A policy of no intervention just leaves you with whatever capitalism feels like that day - and while capitalism really loves to pretend to care about diversity, it really is more of a marketing gag than a anywhere close to a true belief. But Andrew Tate can be the embodiment of toxic masculinity / incel culture / misogyny as long as it pays and nobody complains?
