Why do gays and lesbians so meekly accept being defined out of existence?

I don’t want to be brutally honest, but we need it. The reality is, a lot of homosexuals, just like a lot of heterosexuals, are cumbrains. We’re too busy consuming corporate products, wasting time on social media and watching porn to pay attention to what’s happening. This plays a part in it. This plays a part in why western civilisation has been so willing to accept this path we’re heading down.

Obviously other factors are at play. Censorship, hate speech laws and cancel culture.

Ok, while I agree that we are as susceptible as any other demographic to tuning out the world and consuming corporate products, I think this is being unfair to our demographic, lol. There is so much damn censorship of our community going on.

Many people who spout pro-trans nonsense and who claim to be LGB are those who think it's a "fun, open-minded lifestyle" and are actually straight, as well.

For the people who are actually LGB and lack the critical thinking skills or energy to assess the damage that the transgender movement is doing... well, yeah, I'd agree with you.

Most LGB people who parrot TWAW are young and still have so much to learn before they can truly form an opinion on the matter. They lack the critical thinking skills to do so because their brains’ haven’t fully developed the ability yet. Also, I think it has to do with the stereotype that inhabitants of alphabet city are extremely liberal and want to be on ““““the right side of history””””. IMO, of all the stereotypes about the LGBT2QBIGMAC+ community, this is the most harmful and is what feeds into emboldening the TRAs

There's also the stereotype that the only people who don't support trans causes are hardcore alt-right figures, therefore if you're not supportive of everything trans, you are therefore on the far right. There is no willingness to acknowledge that people can be critical of gender ideology while falling on the liberal or progressive scale of socioeconomic issues.
