The trans community is quite literally the worst thing to happen to the LGB movement. The trans movement has caused real damage and set back efforts to deal with homophobia in society by promoting homophobic ideologies that label same-sex attraction as bigotry.

This I agree with 100%. They have pretty much destroyed the lesbian community that is for sure. I always felt badly for young lesbians trying to date when dating apps banned them for not wanting to date TIMS.

There really is not a LGB community any longer.

It’s All TRA All the Time, now.

Are the gay male subs still up?

Oh, the gay subs are probably untouched. The gay community has largely gone unscathed, mainly because women who identify as trans are far less violent and belligerent than men who identify as trans have been towards the lesbians who reject them.

They were socialized female. That is one of the factors.

Also there are just way fewer transmen. By a factor of like 2 at least.

No other minority group is forced to accept their oppressors in their spaces. Look at r/actuallesbians, half of people posting are heterosexual males on a power trip. It's beyond parody at this point.

I think the real damage of the trans community is going to be seen in like 10-15 years when all these kids swept up in the trans wave discover that they were really just young gay and lesbian children targetted at a young age by an insidious movement.

Don't get me wrong, what they're currently doing to gay and lesbian spaces is bad but there's going to be waves of young children swept up in this movement because their parents thought a little girl wanting to join rugby means that she's trans not maybe just a regular butch lesbian woman or even a heterosexual tomboy woman or literally anything else except trans.

One of the major lies perpetuated by the trans movement is that detransitioning rates are low; the reality is the transgender movement actively lobbies against scientific studies that would look into this and get accurate data. The trans movement also actively tries to downplay any detransitioners as being unimportant because they don't want transgenderism as being seen as anything other than pure, stunning, and brave for all involved.

The reality is maybe detransition rates are much higher than we know. Maybe they would be much higher if there wasn't a huge stigma in the community against people who've detransitioned. Maybe there's not a lot of official detransition because people who realize they made a mistake don't see much other choice than going with what they identify as now, especially if they've had an irreversible genital surgery. We simply don't know.

The irony that a group that's ~0.1% of the population downplaying the de-transitioning people in their own population as insignificant and able to be ignored.

That too.
