No, it's not a good thing if phrases like "genital preference" are adopted mainstream. It won't necessarily wake people up, it might just allow people who are already quietly homophobic to be more openly so, leading to our rights being legally stripped. There's a reason words like these have caught on in the radical movements, and it's because a large portion of those people were already subconsciously homophobic. I have been reading about the history of revolutionary movements to try and understand what is going on now, and a return to sanity is not inevitable, or even likely if TRAs shift the overton window and their language is mainstreamed. I am not trying to depress anyone but we need to fight this every step of the way. When someone uses a phrase like "genital preferences", correct them and explain why it's wrong. If a politician uses it, hold them accountable and challenge them however you can. Speak up when it is safe, and talk to people (one on one) if you trust them, and tell them what's going on. We need as many allies on board as we can for this. We need to insist on truth and accuracy in language, every time this comes up.

Do you really think straight man will embrace the #girldick? They don't take MtF as real woman and never did so. The same goes for straight woman, even tough they are less vocal then the man.

Tucker Carlson challenged known TRA Zinnia Jones to debate this subject on his show and what did our brave and stunning woman do? He ran away with his #girldick between his legs.

This is proof of how this shit is never going to become mainstream.

They only pick on gays and lesbians because they are easy targets, considering how the whole LGBT bullshit attached the TQs to these groups like a cancerous tumour.

Shadow I really, really hope you're right. I don't think ideas like "girldique" will ever be accepted, more that I think TRA ideology will be accepted through vague platitudes like "trans rights now" and "TWAW", like we're seeing right now, and the whole society could turn the other way at "girldique"/pretend it's not happening at all. The specific ideas don't have to be accepted or understood by everyone, but laws can be written that allow this ideology to wreak havoc and destroy gay rights. It can all happen very quietly too if enough people deny it. It's called doublethink. But I seriously hope I am wrong.

Light up your mood! The darkest time of the night must come before the daylight, always remember this.

People are already rising up against the TRAs: the "trans kid" stuff is already getting pushback, more and more high profile people (like Rowling) are speaking out against their demands and governments are changing their legislation on order to restrict access to HRT via public healthcare.

The night is almost over, we just need to keep firm until them.

I appreciate your optimism. This situation takes me to a very dark place mentally, and is very draining. It's true more and more people are speaking up, and that gives me hope.

Just wanted to say I appreciate your optimism. :) I think we've just got to keep going, too. We've already seen some turnaround in the UK, which is a good sign.
