I like your points, but I think one warrants a note of caution:

So the normie, propaganda medias are against us. But... I've seen LGBdropTheT being spread on 4chan and 9gag, with acceptance of majority of users.

I'm reluctant to interpret opposition to TQ+ ideology as support for LGB people or ideas. I not trying to assume the worst, but I'm not going to assume that 4chan's support is anything more noble than an opportunistic political alliance, either. If this sub was a little more directly focused on LGB stuff instead of TQ+ stuff, it might be able to separate the grifters from the genuine supporters.

Agreed. I made an offhand comment to a conservative acquaintance about trans rights activists and he immediately condemned the "transgender and homosexual lifestyles". Lol.

Hey, so-- idk how long you've been on this sub, but 2-3 months ago it actually was a lot more LGB-centered... some of the mods become more inactive though, and since then there have been more posts that are just about TQ and not LGB. I tried to make a post about it but it got caught by automod... might try again. You raise a good point. It is important to emphasize the pro-LGB aspect because we can't really assume that someone against the TQ+ is actually supportive of L/G/B people they might just as soon condemn us.

Yeah...I feel you on the conservatives part, my family is against trans and "homosexual lifestyle".

I wish it were more LGB centered again. I went off to the s/bisexuals sub for a while before, whenever I get tired of hearing around the TQ+ politics constantly and lots of "look trans say stupid thing in social media, trans bad. >:-0" posts.

But ...The bisexuals subsaidit is still a bit small and I do like to interact with the L & G as well. We're starting to get a bit more active though which is nice!

Hopefully they open the s/LGB sub soon...I came here due to dealing with the TQ+ on the daily at my old job, now I do not have to worry about that anymore (new job) and want to merely talk to other LGB peeps about other many other things apart from the T.

Yes, please, what needs to be done to get s/LGB up and running?
