Great point - it seems like after gay marriage was achieved, the LGBT organisations didn't want to stop the flow of money from supporters. Didn't want to lose jobs, didn't want to lose profit. So it became TGBL instead, with lesbians absolutely last, not even included in certain years Stonewall reports at all. Instead of using the money, power and influence to help LGB youths who still get kicked out, who are still stuck in unaccepting communities, etc, they went all aboard the T wagon. The question is why? In so many countries, homosexuality is still punishable by death. The battle is nowhere near done. But equal on paper, because we can get married now, probably got rid of a lot of the funding since the goals weren't specific enough anymore - helping homeless LGBs isn't as specific of a goal for sponsors as changing a legislation

The former gay rights orgs have turned their backs on LGB people worldwide who are suffering in order to profit on the rainbow capitalism at home. They've found a way to bring increasingingly more and more heterosexual people into the mix so that their numbers and sources of $$$ are limitless. They only use gay issues abroad to the extent they can be used for some other purpose. But they bury stories like the forced transition of gay men and women in Iran. Seriously, just search for the various organizations names and "Iran" or any Muslim country and it's radio silence because the people whose money they're trying to get don't want to hear criticisms of those countries.

The mistake is to believe that LGBTQ+ orgs in any way care about LGB people and the unique issues related to same-sex attraction. They're total front organizations and they're worse than no representation IMHO because they're actively stamping out the existence of other organizations that try to form to support our interests.

The thing about intersex is that it's very obviously being thrown into the soup has done nothing for them. It has not raised the profile of their issues in law. It has not educated the public about what intersex conditions are (and are not). The inclusion is a tool to spread information about them to prop up TQ+. They only come up in discussion as accessories to TQ+. And have you ever heard an intersex person whose only tie to the rainbow mafia being intersex attending Pride? It's just a facade. I think a lot of intersex people likely don't even know they're intersex in the sense that they don't know that their condition falls within the intersex category.

T brought I in to help validate their gender theories, like sex is a spectrum,
