The person who made the tweet has set their account to private (likely for obvious reasons).

Here is the image they made representing the state of the modern LGBTQ+ "community".

It may have taken more than 40 years, but straight men are FINALLY at the top of the LGBT+ pyramid!!!

Why? It's such a shame... did TRA's bully the artist for making this image? Anyways, thanks for letting me know!

Unsure. I attempted to message the artist, but was promptly blocked. Oh well.

You know they did. Opposing them is genocide!

That looks way better with the eyes and now that they're not all 'touching' each other. And the artist put in that god-awful trans flag redesign too..

Is this the Teagan and Sara drawing or did they share a pro T drawing that this is responding to?

That's the Tegan & Sara post. People make sarcastic post titles on here which makes it hard to figure out what's what.

Great drawing!

I am amazed at people's creativity!

Sadly, some gay men are throwing lesbians under the bus.

[–]Seahorse 27 insightful - 2 fun27 insightful - 1 fun28 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

To be fair, some other lesbians are throwing lesbians under the bus.

You're right about that.

This is amazing. Thank you for sharing. I hope the creator of the drawing is doing well and wasn't harassed too much for making this.

Details I appreciated:

  • The A looking down, unsure/bothered-- I'm assuming 'A' stands for asexual here, and not allies, as it used to.

  • The T doesn't have eyes to look at the situation with (thanks Vulvamort for catching this!)

  • The B looking up and frustrated, at being relegated to the bottom.

  • The I being stepped on by the letter T and being portrayed literally sideways, being used in an objectifying way (as a plank to stand on)

  • The Q supporting the T-- mirroring how the concept of "gender identity" is the structural basis upon which the idea of being transgender is built

  • The L and G looking resigned, lol

All seems pretty accurate to me.

The L is the only one that looks physically damaged.

Love how the T doesn't have eyes. Willful denial and narcissism let them stay blind to everyone they've stepped on to get where they are.

Oh, it's beautiful (-ly accurate)

The I is too high up. Or, more accurately, it should be beaten and pleading for help while the T waves it around as their flagpole :I

[–]Three_oneFourWanted for thought crimes in countless ideologies 46 insightful - 3 fun46 insightful - 2 fun47 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

They're using the I as a flat and stable platform to comfortably sit the T upon. The I is high up because it's the T's footstool

I thought it was supposed to be trampled by T in this response.

[–]emptiedriver 13 insightful - 2 fun13 insightful - 1 fun14 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

it's helplessly being used - crossing its arms, unhappy face, and stepped on directly by the T as the Q holds it up to make a platform for the T, and the A both holds it up and sort of hangs off it precariously for balance. I really think it's well done.

Oh wait, their names are actually Tegan and Sara.

Sorry!

I fucking love this drawing.

This actually made me tear up. The lesbian community was already small and now it seems like we've been outright destroyed.

[–]reluctant_commenter 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Hey, don't worry, we're still around :) I do worry a lot about those lesbians who have been transed. But fortunately, TRAs cannot erase the entire concept of female homosexuality-- that's been around for as long as humans (and probably mammals, tbh...) have existed.

Hope you're hanging in there. :)

[–]Wot 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Yeah, you're right. I don't want to catastrophize. Thank you for saying this
