It’s all just repackaged misogyny and homophobia. The way they love to throw around words like f*g proves it, the way they rage against “cis gays” proves it, the way they constantly bully homosexuals to change their “preferences” proves it; and transitioning is frequently being used as conversion therapy on top of all that. What you’re describing is exactly what really makes me worry for young LGB people. Not only do they have to deal with homophobia from the right, but homophobia from the left and from people who are supposedly in their own communities! I can’t imagine the pressure and isolation that breeds. I think about how hard generations of gay and bisexual men and women have worked, and how all of that work is being assaulted, constantly, from all directions. It’s maddening. Young lesbians have it especially hard, with the disgusting amounts of misogyny that the TQ+ espouses. They are just as regressive as the conservative and religious zealots that they claim to hate. So much of trans ideology seems like a cult to me as well. Their tactics, their grooming, their rejection of science and reality, etc.

I just wanted to tell you too that I’m very sorry you have faced so much hate, and haven’t had the love and support you deserve. I really hope you can come to a point where you feel accepted not just from those around and from society, but within yourself as well. Sometimes it can be a long road to reach that point, especially the way society is now, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible. I’m sending love your way. Thanks for sharing this rant!
