What are your predictions on what will happen next after the T is dropped?

Absolutely nothing; "Pride" is still an embarrassment, T continue their bullshit by themselves, LGB people continue to also cause problems (and then blame it on the dropped T, as is tradition.) Governments won't care and will probably still support general tone-deaf "tolerance" crap anyway, some might start to phase out trans stuff but honestly, I don't see it happening currently. America, aka the source of transgender nonsense and the country that other countries seem to copy for their "progressive" policies, did not drop trans stuff under Trump/right-wing government so if Biden wins I can see that getting worse, unfortunately. (As much as removing Trump is necessary, let me be clear.)

What other issues will we need to tackle as homosexual people & bisexual people?

There's a lot, but I think most will never be tackled because it's too "taboo."

I think the gay (male) community needs to do something about it's pedophilia & abuse problem, and how normalized it is for gay guys to hurt each other and especially prey on younger/weaker/more feminine guys. I think "gay culture" as a whole is toxic, hookup culture is self destructive and the fact that the "gay community" glorifies unsafe sex, dangerous fetishes and party drugs is beyond concerning. But it will never be addressed because they have convinced people that their "culture" is sacred and questioning it is "homophobic."

I'm concerned about sex ed for children, and how LGB & fetish is apparently being taught to younger and younger kids in Western countries. Personally I am very much against this, but people think that NOT teaching kids about explicit homosexuality is "homophobic." (See Russian sexual media law that prohibits sexual content, including LGBT, being shown to kids, and gets misreported as a "gay propaganda ban." It's not, and it never was, and although Russia's censorship problem is insane and beyond unnecessary, I fully support not teaching explicit sexual content, including homosexuality, to students under 16.)

I would like people to research the cause and possible "cure" for homosexuality. Not all of us are happy and I personally believe I only ended up this way due to trauma and too early exposure to sexual content. I hate the "love is love" virtual signalling narrative, I think everyone has a right to their own body and their own life decisions and that it's hurting NO ONE if some of us want to fully consensually try to change. Those of us who are not happy deserve a chance at a better life, not to be told the same broken record "you are who you are, internalized homophobia honey, learn to love it" shit we've all heard five hundred times.

I think Westerners need to stop treating being LGB like a gift from God/inherently good thing and people need to adopt a more neutral, realistic, non-religious viewpoint. I'm tired of so called "critical thinkers" who reject TRA ideology for being unscientific yet somehow keep preaching the narrative that they were magically made gay by God or "the force of nature" for some divine intentional purpose. I think the glorification of homosexuality is exactly why we have so many "gay trans boys" and "trans lesbians", because people have been taught that being homosexual is quirky and cool.

Pride needs to stop, period. Not only does it contribute to the above, it's also a capitalist cash cow that never helps anyone in need. It's a narcissistic "look at how special I am" party for the privileged and rich. It disregards non-Western people and those who don't view their sexuality as a fun fashion statement. Oh, and all the plastic and shit these parades leave behind is damaging to the environment. It makes me laugh when LGB/T people claim to be "radically anti capitalist" and then directly support the mass production of cheap "pride" patterened merchandise that was probably made by underpaid workers and/or children.

What will become of the LGB group?

Absolutely nothing will change, most likely. It'll still be the obnoxious, privileged people loudest & most heard, LGBT group we already know, just with minus trans. I think there's a chance that LGB organizations (should they become a thing, I seriously hope not) will "radicalize" in the bad way and things will shift less from "Love is love, everyone is valid uwu" to really angry, aggressive, anti-science nonsense a la radfems and such. But generally I think both the LGB and T are getting simultaneously angrier and dumber, and whining more and more about how "oppressed" they are (which almost exclusively comes from the people who have it the easiest)

Do you feel the LGB group will disperse after or stick together?

I HOPE it disperses, but I don't believe it will. Like I said, I think people will see the divide not as a necessary split, but as some kind of angry battle statement. It won't end when the T splits off, LGB will continue bitching about the T and vice versa. I also don't see how it could actually split; T will refuse to do so and LGB can't stop arguing for five minutes to organize any meaningful groups. Whether or not it's LGB or LGBT depends entirely on the media, in the same way that some organizations refer to it as "LGBT+" and some refer to it as "LGBTQQIAAP2S*+". It's not up to us as individuals, it's how the media and the government chooses to handle it. We have no say in it whatsoever. I mean, intersex people have protested the "I" inclusion for years, yet people are still reporting it as "LGBTI" or similar simply because they want to.

Additional thoughts?

World is fucked, call me a pessimist but I don't see it getting any better. It would take a literal miracle to fix something even as niche and minor as LGB(T) issues. But as long as hivemind politics remain and people still get so easily offended, no progress will be made, because it will be deemed "homo/lesbophobic."

What? This is a lie*. The "sexual media" law only targets "anti-family-values" content, which is radfem-adjacent body-positivity and some LGBT. No straight pervert ever got hit by it, no privileged libgay pervert either. Wonderzine continues operating. "Nonbinary" celebrity misogynists keep grooming children on Youtube and Tiktok.

(* I previously wrote "wrong", then I say your comment on gay purges. Yep, you're full of it, another colonialist "expat" singing the praises of the corrupt regime that is the source of your wealth.)
