Thanks for digging this list up! I remember thinking it was hysterically funny when it first came out.

Wonder if it can be pinned to the top of s/LGBdroptheT so that we can add to it?

Eh, I dunno. They are funny but they are more emphasizing the dumb points of the trans movement as opposed to the ways in which it is homophobic.

But since the TQ+ has glued itself to LGB, the EVERYTHING is TRANSPHOBIC! messaging is making people resent LGB too.

I guess part of my concern is that we might shift away from being an LGB-centered community trying to drop the T, to a "trans bad" community that doesn't look at how the T is particularly harmful to LGB. I often hear people say they hesitate to contribute topics about LGB that are not T-focused; perhaps some of these concerns could be alleviated if we had another community that was LGB-focused without the "drop the T" element such as s/LGB or a s/LGBsupport group, or something.

That's a fair concern.

That was the plan all along. Use us to push their bigoted agenda.

The thing I like about this list is that it got links for everything it claims. TRAs often try to flee the argument by saying "nobody says that!". They'll do it even when they themselves just said that, so the less chance we give them to say this, the better.

The alphabet is transphobic.

Utterly laughable. I did not take the New Yorker or literary prizes seriously before, I take them even less seriously now. They apparently mean nothing. Just like this "poetry".

A small part of me died reading that.

Trans "artists" know that they can scam their way to awards, just b/c they are trans and the Wokerati in any sort of media are falling over themselves to score points by praising w/ever it is that these "artists" put out. This "poet" spells like a 4 year old, gets nominated for a Pulitzer. No other reason than b/c he is larping as a woman. The critics invent some word salad of praise, usually about "breaking a barrier", "deconstructing the norms", etc, etc. Hilarious.

Gender neutral toilets are transphobic...

Because you aren't affirming their identity unless you allow them somewhere they shouldn't be. A place isn't inclusive enough for them unless someone else is prohibited

It's a wonder they can even bear to live... oh wait...

I don't wish suicide or depression on any of them. I just wish they would stop trying to spread their homophobic, sexist beliefs.

Agreed
