Quite an interesting article, Litterpicking. I guess it helps to see a more nuanced view of where he’s coming from. He’s battled for his own rights, successfully, and now (understandably) resents the fact that he, and those who have won their battle for acceptance, have now been dragged back into a very different battle, that is proving to be much more troublesome and which looks much less likely to have a positive outcome. I absolutely have sympathy for any lesbian and gay people who can see that the niche of acceptance they had carved out for themselves is now under threat.
But of course, women’s rights are also under threat. Sweeping this under the carpet and waiting for the fad for transgenderism (which genuinely is a fad on one level) won’t work for women because the undermining of women’s rights, that has gone hand in hand with that fad, goes too deep and is of such significance that women cannot ignore it.
So I guess it’s understandable that he wants it all to go away. The day that Stonewall stopped fighting for lesbian and gay rights and dragged lesbian and gay people into a fight to remove women’s rights, was a hugely bad day for us all.
