This movement has made me feel way better about the current state of identity politics, but I hope that us homosexuals and bisexuals won’t get left behind and ignored again when it loses steam

I hope not! I think it has drawn a lot of awareness. I'm sure the subreddit will be shut down, but just knowing that so many straight people out there are like "Wow, I didn't even know this was going on, I'm so sorry!" is so heartening.

To be honest... in the long run, I think people might end up opposing the T more because of the harm it is doing to children in general, not specifically LGB children-- even though LGB children/teens are at a way, WAY higher risk than straight children/teens to fall prey to transgender ideology or to feel pressured to comply with coercive trans demands. I do agree with you there. But, I do think this is progress!

I was just checking the sub and I came across this post:

Looking through the comments restored my faith in humanity. I guess I’m a pessimist lol

Dude, that's completely reasonable!! I saw your post about almost getting transed, and I almost did too. I feel cynical about all of this a lot of the time. But I believe we will get out of it, eventually, even though it doesn't feel like it right now. Those comments made me feel a lot better, too :)
