I'm a straight guy who follows this. In my experience people are aware of the difference between LGB and TQ+ and know 'normal' LGB people who are sick of them too (this being among a typical mid-twenties non-woke friend group).

That's not to say there won't be a backlash.. but people are aware they aren't the same.

I'd also agree with the comment that says its harder to go after straight people - we aren't in a 'community' that they can control or exert influence over in the way they do to LGB people.

Thank god for people like you. I was talking to my neighbor (who doesn't know I'm gay) and she was saying how trans people are different from LGB people. It gives me hope!

unfortunately, I'm not sure enough people know the difference (or would acknowledge it if they're already homophobic) for the public opinion or even any laws that come out of this to be done properly

It gives me hope to hear things like this, but then I also hear people say things like "oh they just wanted to get married and now look! "

I was hoping that more people would have peaked by now, but no, a lot of women are handmaidens, too.

I hope wayyy more people peak sooner than later.
