So, after gay marriage became a thing, Stonewall's main fund raising war cry ended.

Their employees are people with jobs and mortgages to pay. This could put them out of work.

Hence the swap over to trans activism.

This is something of a problem, since transexuals back in about 2000 were only about 1/2000 people. Not a massive pool of supporters or people in need of help.

However this number expands miraculously if you start including adult onset AGPs and transvestites, and insist that all gender non conforming people come under the trans umbrella ☔.

Enter some trans billionaires willing to pump cash into this via astroturfing activism, and here we are.

Basically... The activists are getting loopier because most of the major issues have been remedied, so now they are taking on some very fringe issues in an attempt to stay relevant and keep the money coming in.

Well, except that they're not remedied in MANY countries over the world, and besides, there is still legal discrimination in many regions even of nations that have legalized gay marriage. That would require turning one's eyes beyond just one's immediate surroundings, though.

I'd give money to send Stonewall to Tehran.

Wish we had a flair for "censorship" or something for the "LGBTQ+" orgs perpetrating this racketeering.

Maybe "LGB Erasure" is close enough for this one.

It's ironic because the TRAs think BBC is a "TrAnSpHoBiC" broadcaster.
