ColonizationThe TQ+ Takeover is complete

submitted by JulienMayfair from (self.LGBDropTheT)

I've written often on here about the group for gay men I used to belong to that's been gradually taken over by the TQ+.

Today's drama included a photos posted by a transwoman who has a beard and makes no attempt to appear as anything but male, which prompted (a pretty obviously seriously mentally ill) non-binary male to post negative comments about the people in the photo all being men, to which the bearded transwoman replied, calling the enby a "Karen" and accusing the enby of erasing transpeople. (Funny how a non-binary male can't recognize a man with a beard as a transwomen without being told. Who'd have thought?)

This is after a weekend of other posts about why it's good to be "an angry transwoman."

There is no gay male content anymore. We're completely marginalized. It's just the TQ+ screaming at each other and the world. This is what our communities become when we don't defend them.

Edit: See also r/ainbow, once a popular subreddit with lots of discussion.

What the hell?! If this person with a beard "identifies" as female, why's he in a group for gay men? I know, I know, clown world. And I don't even want to know why it's so good to be an "angry transwoman". I'm sorry this happened to your group, Julien. Also: Hi Julien, it's me, Mary Beth! Good to see you in another world, you handsome devil you. ;)

I wondered if you two knew each other, and I also hope you're using fake names here for your safety. ;-)

Yeah, no worries, they're characters from books. It's all good. :) If the last several years have taught me anything, it's to protect myself from the crazy...and we all know who that is.

Basically even trans people can't correctly identify other trans people these days without a cast of characters.

With one of them, he posts videos of himself doing rambling monologues combined with really odd gestures and mannerisms, and the last time I saw someone behaving like this, he turned out to be in the early stages of schizophrenia.

Yep, and it's frustrating and annoying to deal with.

Had to deal with it at last job, my boss was a trans male, and he acted stereotypically girly(ex. loved pink, long hair, anime...says he "talks a lot", etc) and considers himself a "girly-girl" it was weird...since he's a middle-age man with a wife and kids. Apparently, he came out as polyarmorous recently to the entire work and talks about it all the time...It's just come on man, nobody cares. First coming out as trans, now was poly.

I'm glad I work at new job, but just now received an email for a work survey from someone who puts "she/her" in their bloody email signature.

Anyways...I wish these TQ+ things were separate from work AND from hobby/interest groups such as the one you were in. Gender identity politics don't belong in a gay MEN'S group. It's not up for debate, you have XY chromosome and like men, you're gay. If you're female, taken hormones and did surgery to appear as man...you go to a "gay" TRANSmen's group.

Not sure why a trans"woman" is in a gay men's group if "she" believes that "she" is a woman. Lol. Jeez...they need to go to their own group because we hardly have any of our own...

I don't understand why people always have to center the world around the TQ+ and accommodate them all the time while allowing them to invade our spaces, it's annoying and stupid.

Why on earth is that guy allowed to talk about his sex life at work?! Someone needs to pick up the phone and dial the extension for HR. Those poor employees...I'm glad you escaped.

Exactly!! It's just so weird and gross.

Unfortunately, this guy is friends with HR and has worked here for decades. He even mentioned how he "built this company" basically and brags about it. Everyone that's in upper management are pompous jackasses who don't care about us. They even bully the leadership team below them. I'm just glad I don't work there anymore. It was a hell hole.

Also, this trans male boss transition later in life, around early 40s. His "dead name", aka, birthname, is still on some of the company stuff and I've seen it.

I really doubt he's always "felt like a girl" based on that and also joining the military and telling stereotypical "dude-bro" stories at the time he was there. Lol

It's starting to become like this memewhen you see, instead of a spider, a genderist pop up you want to burn it all down just in case.

Seems like a nutball support group... maybe start a new one.

God that's disgusting and awful. It's like shape shifters or something.

Wait until you see a few of these switch masks a few times in front of your very eyes. All the world's a stage, and especially the hearts and minds of anyone who has something they want, or is perceived as an obstacle to something they want.

Gay erasure is a serious problem. I wish ALL LGB could unite to fight it. I wish the whole world would see the Trans movement is a combo of gay erasure and straight male sexual fetish. It's just harmful to everyone.
