Thank you for saying this. This shit is why I haven't joined GC and still am not interested in doing so, too many people here are happy to just bash LGB people. I didn't ask to have my demographic invaded by a bunch of autogynephilic men, the idiots at Stonewall and GLAAD decided that after the Pritzkers and other billionaires pumped money into the transgender medical industry.

Well, there aren't that many homophobes on GC side, but some that there are - are pretty annoying. And ones who blame us in everything should be called out as well. Most people just do not know and believing TRA propaganda (like so many GC are thinking that TRA are saying truth about intersex), because that is the only version they are seeing. And every other version is banned in media, so without calling out or correcting people - no one will know that there is different side. Intersex people all over Twitter running around and trying to speak against BS to both sides, most GC people listening, some don't, most TRA people not listening, but some are. So I am still in GC spaces, even when they are becoming anti-LGB, and if something wrong stated - trying to call it out and discuss.

In general Radical feminists are often more helping to lesbians, than gay men or bisexual women, but still need to be called out sometimes.

I get that and I have a ton of respect for you for doing it. I would consider doing something similar, but I have only so much energy to spare and right now I'd rather not.

This thread is not making GC look good on either end, both for the blame of individual LGB people and what apparently is an attempt to defend LGBT orgs who sold out LGB people for $$$. I’m suddenly reminded why I could not get into Ovarit and why I don’t post as much here anymore.

In my experience, GC people on old subreddit, tumblr and ovarit rarely say these things. I usually see this argument in reddit's TumblrInAction, which is not a feminist site at all.

Fair point, I didn't gave much experience on the old GC (or on tumblr GC) and this does actually remind me a lot of TumblrInAction-- which I'm mixed on as well.

Also to be fair, I am sure there will be at least a few people wandering in from the rest of saidit which is often pretty extreme.
