1.) Peace. Just fucking peace. Free from the TRA assholes who paint all of us in a bad light, free from the gender nonsense that people associate with the LGBT community.

2.) I think the next issue should mainly be working on eliminating harmful stereotypes regarding LGB individuals (such as "bi people all love threesomes!)

3.) We'll grow bigger, and we shall celebrate our glorious victory until the cows come home.

4.) Stick together. We have to. We can't let the gender bullshit worm it's way back into our community by getting lazy again.

5.) Nothing else.

Literally had this conversation with someone. They were talking about a character that is evil and bi in Outlander, and I mentioned that the show makes it seem as if he's evil because he's bi, not bi and happens to be evil. It's one of those Depraved Bisexual/Gay/Lesbian tropes and stereotypes. There is another character that's good and gay, so at least there's that.

When they mentioned there's evil straight people in the show, I added that they're portrayed as evil, not evil because they're straight, which is a massive difference. And while this is just a discussion of fiction, fiction tends to help people make their minds up about how they treat others in real life. If you've spent your whole life reading about the evil LGB, how do you think you're going to react when you're faced with one of these 'depraved' people?

That's one stereotype I want to see gone, in both fiction and in assumptions made about LGB in real life.

Yes, it would be nice to have some peace and stopped being bothered by the TRA nonsense.

Ultimately, was hoping we wouldn't need an LGB group anymore. By that, I mean that we don't need to fight anymore. I just want to be seen as no different than say, a straight person. To be treated the same way...

But we may still have some ways to go, in order to undue the damage done by the TRA and "queer culture".
