Gay men know that they’re men. Gay women know that they’re women. They do not confuse same sex attraction with biological reality. Those brighter than a cucumber — that leaves out the hard core lefties and the clinically insane, but it still includes a lot of people — know that the trans delusion is nonsense.
The gay men don’t particularly see the trans thing as a threat because females pretending to be male aren’t beating them out for spots on the team roster, and identifying as male, everything else being equal, is a license for employers and government to discriminate against you. Gay women, however, are aware of the threat. It’s their spaces being invaded. It’s their spots on the team and on the medal stand that are being taken by female impersonators. It’s their gender preference points that are being misappropriated by cosplaying men.
As far as celebrities are concerned: I think a big part of what we are seeing is more of the closeted conservatives coming out. In academia, Hollywood, and a number of other fields, the leftist blacklist is real and extreme. There’s no doubt that the left has driven a lot of people out of these fields, or never gave them the chance to get established, but it’s also true that a surprising number of moderate or conservative people — the sane people — have been keeping their heads down and trying to survive. If the dam breaks, their numbers could grow rapidly — but the gatekeepers have to be disarmed.
It's everywhere.
Starting with Obama, no one is allowed to vote red.
Otherwise, they'll cancel you for being a racist, sexist, transphobic, etc.
