But isn't this what people used to say about gay people? That it's a mental illness that has to be cured and not "indulged"? Which is obviously incredibly homophobic and untrue.
YoloSwaggins this is an argument that you hear a lot.
You have to remember that you were talking about an ideology here. This is what has started all the problem.
It was a masterstroke to get to the T added to LGB. When it is an identity problem, not a sexual orientation.
Of course it’s true that gay people were resisted. Progress was made, debate was had. They didn’t threaten heterosexual people with violence or rape threats. They didn’t ask for heterosexual people to redefine who they are. And concede rights.
Just because it sounds like it might be the same, as it has certain familiar parts to it, doesn’t mean it is. And it’s manipulative to co-opt other peoples struggles, point out the similarities, and say they are the same.
They do it with race (don’t ask me to explain that one, cos I don’t get it). They do it with sex. They claim because they get targeted for being trans it’s the same as being targeted for being a woman, ergo they are like women.
But the most glaring difference is that transgenderism actually erases homosexuality.
The claim that your sex is determined by your brain, not your body is at the root of it.
A certain cohort claim they are actually women by dint of how they think. An inner ‘female’ identity and essence.
This cohort are what we would call heterosexual, they are attracted to women. They don’t want straight women because straight women don’t sleep with women - and that will invalidate their female identity.
So they go after lesbians. If lesbians do not include men with penises, who think they are women, in their dating pool, then they are transphobic bigots. See lady dick, girl dick and the penis is a female organ. Also the cotton ceiling. A play on the glass ceiling a and representation of women’s knickers. Something to be ‘broken through’.
And Riley J Dennis YouTube videos where he accuses lesbians of having ‘prejudicial’ dating preferences.
And it’s not fringe. I can promise you. Michfest, a woman only festival held for 40 years was eventually shut down by transactivists who accused them of excluding men. (They had, in fact, included transwomen for years. But not the type who demanded to sleep with lesbians).
The trans ideology insists that one should be attracted to gender, not sex. Which effectively not only eliminates homosexuality, but heterosexuality too.
So me, a straight woman, should include a woman with a vagina in my dating pool, as long as she identifies as a man.
Lesbians who refuse are called vagina fetishists. Ostracised and told to work through their prejudice.
Go onto any lesbian site (if you can find one now) and you will hear lesbians bitterly complaining about how every single lesbian venue, cafe, club is now overrun with entitled men demanding sex as ‘trans lesbians’. Lesbians have been renamed as cisbians.
A lesbian is a woman who is attracted to another woman. They have been rebranded as cisbians to make a distinction between them and men who are attracted to women, called transbians.
Funny enough, on dating websites transwomen they often say in their profile ‘no trans’. Because they, me and everyone else knows that they are actually straight men. Otherwise they would date each other.
It’s interesting, too, that gay men are not being targeted. I can’t imagine a transman with a vagina getting very far pressuring a gay man for sex. Not that they do. Funnily enough.
The inherent power dynamic between men and women and men’s entitlement to sex rips right through the ideology’s logic as far as the eye can see.
Ignoring it is one of their biggest tactics.
Make no mistake, this is a men’s rights movement. It has nothing to do with gay rights. Do not be fooled into thinking it does.
