I agree with everything, but I think a lot of the people now occupying LGBTQIAWTF+ spaces genuinely do believe we're past homophobia, because they were fortunate enough to grow up in a progressive bubble where they never had to witness it. So the only injustices they see are trans people not having surgeries paid for on a whim and TV shows not having enough demisexual lithromantic representation.

where they never had to witness it.

Or they were being homophobes themselves, without realizing it, and thought it is something normal and not bad.

YUP. I think you've nailed it. I am a fairly progressive person but I'm always shocked when I talked to other progressive people and hear them suggest something like this. Like, hello? Do you realize there are many people in the world who don't believe in the views you hold?
