  1. The community will have to heal from all the damage and homophobia the TQ and their allies did, inside and out. We'll have to explain to straight people all over again what we're actually here for.
  2. Fighting discrimination and securing other human rights in places where it still isn't guaranteed.
  3. I think we'll see a rise in LGB solidarity as we bond over the experience of same-sex attraction that means we are all connected. Detransitioners and desisters will probably be a lot more common among us.
  4. I think we will see an increase in LGB groups and dedicated L, G, and B sepcific groups. Solidarity is important, but having our own communities is too. Lesbians have already started since we've been hit by the TQ+ homophobia for the longest and hardest.

Definitely agree with the part of the LGB needing to deal with the homo/biphobia damage caused by the TRA.

Ah, I didn't really think of the detransitioning part! Yes, it would be nice to have some resources for the LGB who decide to detransition. I actually detransitioned myself YEARS ago---was FtM, thought I was ONLY same-sex attracted(ever since I was in grade school) and wanted to be seen as 'normal'(aka, straight). Then, I finally accepted myself for who I am....just a GNC woman.

I do think we should have separate groups focusing on individual concerns (lesbian women, gay men, and bisexual wo/men). I think lesbian women have probably been the most successful when it comes to addressing the concerns affecting them. As for the bisexual group...I feel as though there's not really a consistent...community. Our group is getting overrun by the "queer", "pansexual", "omnisexual" and now bisexual+(plus) groups. Then there are a few gender critical ones but not many are speaking up in comparison.
