The Left got everything that they could get out of ordinary homosexuality as a political organizing tool. Homosexuality is pretty much accepted and homosexuals are no longer an oppressed minority in need of subsidized housing and affirmative action, so the Leftists had to invent a new category of the oppressed that can never achieve equality for obvious reasons.
Mutilating someone and ruining their life never hurt anyone. It’s just the bigotry of far-right wing extremists that causes the harm./sarc
