It’s Time for ‘LGB’ and ‘T’ to Go Their Separate Ways

The growing rift between increasingly radicalized transgender-rights activists and the lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) communities has finally come out into the open. This week, Europe

Well-written article by a conservative-leaning gay man on how transgender ideology has taken over the gay rights movement and the damage it is doing.

LGBTQXYZ can go their separate ways, as long as their ways are out of the Milky Way Galaxy.

They are ALL QUEER!

Do adults post here anymore?

Sometimes I wonder.

[HighSierra5]

That sounds like a bad Scrabble deal.

Call them what they are - perverts!

Why do the L's always have to be first? /Gag /Choke /Cough

I heard somebody suggest recently that sex-reassignment surgery is one of the worst mistakes of 21st-century medicine, just as lobotomies were the quack surgery of the 20th century.

The “T”’s are definitely making enemies in the women’s rights/feminism wining with their insistence that trans-women be included in women’s sports.

I’m disgusted with this more than anything.

You want to wear the clothes, fine. You want to mutilate your body, that’s on you. You want to flood your body with synthetic hormones, well it’s just another drug as far as I’m concerned.

I’m drawing th line at your imposing the fallacy of your reality on women in their private places and on the field, court and track.

Martina Navratilova should continue to be a hero for the LGB community as she broke barriers, became the best and helped gain acceptance in mainstream sports. Now she’s a pariah for saying only women should be playing women.

The “T’’s are insufferable.

I guess the gays among us find this lifestyle behavior interesting.

Pay attention to the "Equality Act" that President Trump has already promised he won't sign (but you can guarantee every Democrat will). It is one of the most dangerous pieces of legislation that has ever darkened congress. It will allow "gender identity specialists" to diagnose your children as suffering from "gender dysphoria" and if you, as a parent objects, you are guilty of the "discredited practice" of "conversion therapy."

It is an absolute nightmare and will result in a generation of children that grow up mutilated and suffering from severe psychological trauma.

“After the U.S. Supreme Court legalized gay marriage nationwide in the landmark 2015 decision Obergefell v. Hodges, many believed the fight for gay rights would begin to wind down. Yet that didn’t happen. Instead, the LGBT-advocacy sector simply redirected its available staff, fundraising and rhetoric to other projects. I know this because I saw this happen, both as a university student, gay man and equal-rights advocate.”

The author is a “gay” sheeple on his way to becoming a person, not a sheep. What he really exposes in that remark is that everyone had really been dealing with an industry (organizations, jobs, careers, revenue stream) BUILT on round the clock 24/7/365 activism. These are folks that have no life, no income, no position other than working for “activism” for some “cause”. Nothing is ever finished, new causes, new “victims” must be created and recreated to keep all the “activists” employed.

Why do the L's always have to be first?

I think that tradition started at the buffet line at the Golden Corral, and has spilled over into all social interactions with these people.

At the same time, considering that the entire population of the alphabet activists comprises, what, 2 to 3 percent of the entire population, this seems to be a very large and noisy tempest in a small teacup.

Chappelle used the analogy of a car trip shared by passengers G, L, T and B. The Gs are driving, with the Ls in the passenger seat. The Ts are in the back. “Everyone in the car resents the Ts,” Chappelle says. “The Ts are making the trip take longer.” Trans comedians and activists, who’ve become accustomed to pride of place in the intersectionalist hierarchy, were up in arms. But Chappelle made it abundantly clear that he had no animus toward anyone in the LGBT community: The target of his satire was not any one group, but the increasingly ridiculous conceit that all of these “alphabet people” are happy fellow travelers. LGB rights and T activism have been revealed to be unnatural bedfellows, and it’s inevitable that, as is happening in Britain, they will go their separate ways.

True.

Gays, lesbians and bisexuals all have something obvious in common: same-sex attraction. This is an alternative sexual orientation that, to some extent at least, shapes our experiences and alters our life outcomes. We typically identify with our biological sex—and in fact, sometimes have spent many years feeling trapped by it. To be gay is to understand that sex is set at birth. My sexual attraction, likewise, is based on hard-wired factors beyond my control.

Not necessarily true. It's complicated.

Transgenderism is a separate concept. While homosexuality leads to obvious differences in real-life behavior, transgenderism offers a categorial redefinition of what it means to be a man or a woman. As Joyce describes it, a “gender identity” is a quasi-spiritual concept—almost like a soul—that is “something between an internal essence, knowable only to its possessor, and stereotypically masculine or feminine appearance and behavior.”

Huh?

“Ladies” first.

Very good article, thanks for posting it. I have been saying just this myself.

Full disclosure: I knew my beloved brother A. was gay before I knew what gay was. Can you imagine if he had been turned into a girl? Well I for one can’t imagine it.

[seastay]

So the idea is to now advocate gay relationships as normal but heterosexuals where one or both partners dresses and acts like the opposite gender to their birth sex this is somehow now not OK..? As conservatives on this subject we come off as unhinged authoritarianism's as to what is “normal” instead conservatives should be focusing on fiscal responsibility, rooting out corruption, and strong borders, subjects that actually make sense,

It seems that, with “LGBT”, since homosexual marriage was instituted, that we are hearing much more about the “T” among the LGBT peoples than anything else.

It seem to me, that they moved the goal posts. They achieved homosexual marriage, and supposedly their lives were now complete, “equal marriage” and all that. But once that goal was achieved, were the lives of the activists complete? No.

No, their lives were not complete. Instead, they moved on to other aspects of this whole LGBT business, after achieving that goal of marriage.

The activists will never be satisfied.

The Trannies are tap dancing all over Title IX, killing “separate but equal” women’s athletics, and no one seems to be noticing...
