I could support the LGBTQ community and simultaneously say that not taking this issue seriously is one of the dumbest things they’re dying on; and that nothing is so damaging to the movement currently.
You can also see this in the upcoming generation, which actually has declining acceptance, not growing acceptance.
- krapp 2y agoYou know the "T" in "LGBTQ" stands for "transgender," right? There's a word for people who "support the LGBTQ community without the T," it's "terfs," or just "transphobes."
- gjsman-1000 2y agoYou can support the T, while simultaneously saying they are overstepping their bounds and making a strategic mistake. Supporting the T doesn’t mean doing everything the T wants, more than any other letter.
- krapp 2y agoThat you believe there are "bounds" that transgender people have "overstepped" suggests you don't believe transgender identity is legitimate. You seem to believe transwomen are men pretending to be women, and that their participation in womens' sports is inherently unfair to "real" women. This is a transphobic point of view. You cannot support the transgender community while believing in biological gender imperatives.
- gjsman-1000 2y agoIf that is the case, let me make it clear then: I don't support the transgender community, according to their preferred definition of support. I support their rights to maintain a general secular employment, protection under the law from undue discrimination, and protection from physical violence. I do not support them in forcing people who believe in biological genders to conform to their will; and I never will.
