Gay MenSick of being called a transphobe for not being attracted to trans men, as well as having my sexuality invalidated simply for being a cis gay man.

As a lesbian, I truly feel your struggle. I'm so sorry you're dealing with all this. I also hate how they constantly see 'cis gay men' as these 'evil creatures full of toxic masculinity'. F*ck. Off. If you're a lesbian, you're a TERF. If you're a gay man, you're somehow this 'privileged evil person over trans people' and both are seen as horrible transphobic people lmao. "I'm scared that soon, my label will have no meaning and will be stripped of all substance it once had." - in case you haven't noticed yet, this has ALREADY happened with the lesbian label. I hope it doesn't happen to the gay label as well, but given the fact that they seem to be going after gay men now, I would argue they will try to twist the definition too until it has lost its meaning :( . Here you can find comfort. The lesbian community is totally shattered. But I feel like gay men are putting up a good fight (at least from what I've seen) and they have more 'social power' than lesbians so maybe things will get better?

Also a lesbian, at least this craziness hasn't reached the average person. When you ask the average person on the street what a lesbian is, they're likely to say homosexual woman 98% of the time. Just sucks that we have so many less spaces as a result of this craziness. Lesbian bars have disappeared. Lesbian spaces have been infiltrated or closed down. I feel like this won't happen with gay men to the same extent, but who knows. After they're done with gay men who's next? Straight men? That'll go over well lol

Except that I think it has reached the average person. I'm confident TQ+ is behind the drop in acceptance for LGB(T) we're seeing in young people, most dramatically in girls. The problem is they aren't aware of the nuance of it all and think it's coming from LGBTQ+. Once the acceptance drops dramatically, TQ+ can put on different clothes, let the dye job fade and move on with being socially accepted once again, while LGB is holding the fallout.
