The TQ+ community honestly makes me wish I was just straight, they are a fucking hassle to deal with and they don't deserve to have their mental illness validated, nor should they be congratulated for disempowering LGB culture.

Being straight would, at best, only have given you a short respite. These people are NEVER satisfied, nothing will placate them, nothing is ever enough. Personally, my biggest fear is that when the backlash finally comes, because they have subverted many LGBTQ+ communities, it won't actually be the TQ+ that gets targeted. They are, after all a small minority, even in the LGBTQ+.

No, it will be the LGB that get hit with the brunt of the ire caused by the TQ+, and you can bet the TQ+ won't hesitate to try to use the LGB as their meatshield.

Worse still, unless more of the LGB wake up, start speaking up against the TQ+ insanity, take steps to clearly and publicly distancing from the TQ+ demands and agenda, and basically stop providing cover for them, it won't be entirely undeserved.

Yep, & on my good days I do have sympathy for trans medicalists, who do want gatekeeping & do not deny biology. Unfortunately very few can publicize their postion. While that's a relief to see, even though biology isn't denied, some do think their sexual orientation changes with transition. The logic escapes me. Seems a massive contradiction to accept you're a man, but base orientation on your gender.
