LGB vs T - time to disassociate.

[CuriouslyDifferent]

Being in B….

I don’t support Pride month any more.

Not only is it commercialized.

But I don’t ally myself with T anymore. I don’t want to be associated, support, be seen in the same room, or be classified as the same group.

why? Because I’m a parent. I’ve seen first hand what T ideology does to children.

im standing on the shoulders of brave people from times past that brought us from the dark corners of the human experience to a ‘who cares what your sexuality is’ period. So it’s taken a long time for me to not wish to fight against all phobias.

But T……. Too much, too far, a focus of attention on kids. Eradication of rights of others for decency and privacy.

Recent articles about Norwegian scientists in Trans rights groups advocating for sexual attraction of children to taught to children as a sexuality type… wtf. other academic attempting to remove the ‘stigma’ by reclassifying peados as minor attracted persons.

I learnt the hard way about T and gender ideology and it’s impact on my daughter in her repeated suicide attempts in hospital emergency rooms, as she struggled with reconciling her academic indoctrination and activation, and coming to terms with simply being a girl.

I fear from the irl groups I’m in, that’s T is just a hobbyhorse because there are very little LGB issues these days. But the dark side of T is showing it’s values now - it’s not our group - it’s not our fight.

And I put that because sexual preference are ENTIRELY different to being trans. Being trans has nothing to do worth being gay or bi. Your sexuality doesn't change just because you've had your breasts or penis chopped off. Your GENDER will change. Your sex will never, ever change.

I agree. Your sexual preference has zero to do with your beliefs about your identity, or your hair colour or height...

which are??

I totally agree,it has gone so far for me that if i see a woman supporting the trans i lose interest in her 🤔

@CuriouslyDifferent - I could not agree more.

You (and) others, might find this a good listen. From a gay man profoundly concerned about the impact of T ideology on humanity.

How ironic that you associate T with paedophiles...just as people associated it with gay/lesbians in the past. Also ironic that you talk about the harm to children...just how many hetros have and still do say that a child being raised by a gay/lesbian would be mentally damaged. Those people would be saying YOU caused this problem for your child.
Very sad to see people from the LGBT community being led by the media narrative to hate a marginalised group when their group has experienced the same thing.
Yes some trans people do bad things, just as some gay people do and some hetro people do. No need to vilify a while group.

@JLou08 i have only skimmed through previous posts but don’t see suggestions of Trans people being associated with paedophiles but, rather, profound concern that current trans ideology is harmful to children.

Totally agree OP. It's time to get the L out.

I understand you feel strongly about keeping the community together, and I respect that.
But I think dismissing this parent's pain isn't going to change their mind or help anyone.
They watched their daughter make repeated suicide attempts. That's real. That happened. And they've drawn a conclusion from that experience about what caused it. We might see the causation differently, we might think the distress came from conflicting pressures rather than from trans ideology itself, but telling a parent who sat in emergency rooms that their interpretation of their own child's suffering is simply wrong isn't going to land.
What I've found is that the LGB and T alliance holds strongest when we can acknowledge genuine tensions honestly rather than demanding unity through silence. There are parents who've had experiences like this one, and there are parents like me whose trans children are doing well. Both exist. Both are true.
If we want to keep the coalition together, we need to be able to say: some young people have been harmed by rushed or ideological approaches, AND some young people like my daughter have been helped enormously by being affirmed and supported. The existence of one doesn't erase the other.
Telling this parent they're wrong about their own experience will push them further away. Listening, while gently offering other ways to understand what happened, at least keeps the conversation open.
What would you say to them about their daughter specifically?
