I know so many otherwise liberal, educated men, mostly white, who are just horrified when I, a woman, tell them that I don't want men in my bathrooms.

"But, but, but," they stammer, "You're not...you're not... TRANSPHOBIC?!?!?" As if by demanding spaces where women can undress in privacy were akin to demanding that men in dresses should be stripped and then marched naked to the guillotine.

In response, I let them have it - facts, figures and basic common sense - I let my outrage fly.

I've had a very old male friend, liberal-cause activist, call me a "bigot" - haven't spoken to him since. But most of my male friends totally get it once I explain why I'm "transphobic." Because core-GC beliefs make sense to the majority of people. And so we need to speak out and explain them to all and sundry.

This billboard man appears to be on his own mission, alienating a lot of women as he goes, but he's doing something - we ALL need to be doing something. Women around the world are being erased and, while this man is controversial, he's out there fighting instead of inside typing.

Yep. I get castigated among gay social circles as a "Drop the T" gay.

"omg their struggle is our struggle" - no it is fucking not.

I find that its very easy for non-TIM men, totally ignorant that they face precisely zero costs in the issue vs women, to simply go-along with the trans agenda like mindless virtuous assholes, and then of course be the most outspoken in ensuring its implementation.

Have you ever been to Datalounge.com? It's a site primarily for gay men, many of whom are well-educated, some of whom are funny. It's an entertaining site because posters discuss everything from soap operas to true crime to politics.

For decades now, a lot of Datalounge posters have been vehement about how transgenders are not part of gay rights - and some were around for AIDs and the early gay rights movement. You should check it out.

I work with 2 young gay men-- both are really smart and reasonably attractive. One of them walks around with a JKR themed flask, LOL. I think these guys are literally having issues dating as of late because so many young people are adopting the "queer" label, give them fake signs of interest, then flake out on having actually dating. Can't really imagine how difficult it must be to be gay or lesbian and young, since it's as if so many people are "posing" when they're really just straight. What's also sad is that some of the gay and lesbian people who encounter this phenomenon are probably just blaming themselves for their lack of luck.

Gay men are pretty much the only people politicians are going to take seriously, so once the pressure to sleep w TiFs or be called bigots hits gay men, things might get better.

Even lesbians, although part of the LGBTQI2A++, are WOMEN at the end of the day, so politicians don't give a shit about their rights.
