To add to my list of reasons from last time:

  • I'm sick of finding out that the spaces my generation carved out for LGB youth are now the same ones that alienate them to accommodate creepy straight girls going through a phase. I'm sick of how, when they inevitably detransition, they always cast themselves in the role of the victim for being tempted by "the gay" while failing to recognize the other kids in that space and their impact on them.

  • I'm sick of blocking every fifth person on a gay men's hook up app because they happen to be a biological woman. I'm sick of having to accommodate the feelings of mentally ill women who will blame gay men if she gets her feelings hurt while having zero self-awareness about how invasive, predatory, and violating her actions are. I'm sick of watching spaces gay men built for themselves, both in real life and online, even if they are imperfect, get gutted for "transmen."

  • I'm sick of every LGB space or resource needing to be T-inclusive or provide for every letter of the alphabet. Lesbians need their own spaces and services as do gay men as do bisexuals. Not everything we make should have the same "queer" slant. Sometimes we only want to expend our energy on our own demographics and that's okay.
