What bothers me is the amount of gay people and lesbians who are still eating this T shit in the community. Sure, many might be afraid to disagree with anything for fear of backlash but the ones who actively work to accomodate this bullshit thinking they're being the "good guys" and "fighting for human rights etc" is honestly alarming. It's alarming how they don't see what's happening.

Some of the ones that are still advocating for the T have been in long term serious relationships and have missed the radicalization over the last few years. They haven't been in the dating scene and haven't heard the constant "lesbians must accept girl dick" etc. I know people who are trans slactivists (aka not much beyond social media posting about those "damn terfs/JKR") that would absolutely be considered "terfs" if they knew what they were talking about, basically. Hell I was the same way until I attempted to get more involved in the community and found all the drama

I was about to write exactly the same :) I considered myself trans ally by default and had no idea what's going on until recently

If I ever hear the term "genital preferences" out in the real world, I'm going to punch whoever dared say it.

Anyone know if the gay panic defense still works for gays?

Those who value truth have to be willing to lose friends and family. I'm not religious, but I think that is the meaning of Luke 14:26 (taking this as an allegory since Christ in the Greek is Logos - or logic/reason). That is very hard for anyone to do.
