GRSM prioritizes gender identity. Sexuality is at the end. They used us for their own visibility gain. Now they want to rearrange things so we, the people who built the communities they stole from us, are simply tacked on.

TL;DR I hate it.

If you go to Reddit’s LGBT page r/lgbt the description is:

“A safe space for GSRM (gender, sexual, and romantic minority) folk to discuss their lives, issues, interests, and passions. LGBT is still a popular term to discuss gender and sexual minorities, but all GSRM are welcome beyond lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people who consent to participate in a safe space”

..... it isn’t even claiming to be LGBT anymore....

Yep.

As I like to say, they're the cuckoo in the nest :)

Yeah it seems like a need to be first in the lettering which falls in line with their uncontrollable narcissism. Like when BLM was gaining traction and they started forcing Black-trans-LM but that wasn't good enough. They shortly flipped it to "Trans-Black-Lives-Matter". They just MUST have the entire spotlight or they go nuts.

That was so annoying. Did you know that whole thing was happening just when black women were starting to organize on social media to raise awareness for the violence against black women (because BLM is seen as a very male phenomenon)? Trans people swooped in and made it all about themselves. I want to believe it's a coincidence, but women being shoved aside for trans causes has happened so many times that it's hard to tell myself it wasn't intentional.

The lesbians who started blm are libfem, very trans inclusive. The original list of goals had trans stuff in it.

Yeah I'm sure they were desperate to throw themselves under the bus but black America needed BLM to happen but it got detoured into dumb identity politics and setting up communes in the middle of big cities.
