well, they are right. If you accept their premise "trans women are women" (which we did) then we're basically inferring we're creepy gender fetishists who are obsessed with genitals. A lot of gays and lesbians never really thought about what accepting their premise is. We thought if we lied to them out of sympathy, they would be grateful we were affirming their delusions. They immediately turned it around on us and called us subhuman perverts with no ability to love or form a relationship because our entire struggle, our civil rights movement was based on just wanting genitals. I guess to all the gays and lesbians who thought, "what's the harm"..well, there it is.

Well, 90% of transgender people at the time were HSTS, so it's no wonder they didn't considered this.

What didn't anyone expected was the boom in the amount of straight people transitioning in order to fulfill a fetish.

i think the gay and lesbian activists of the past would never have dreamed of any heterosexuals wanting to be even within a 10 foot distance with homosexuals so they just took that issue of our community and its "space" for granted. We emitted some type of gay radiation that repelled everyone away and we all had our little magical narnia gay space which was our home and we could visit the heterosexual world as guests. It was probably beyond their conception to even think of having the prudence to defend our spaces.

They call us genital fetishists, but they want us to be pronoun fetishists. Considering which one I'm touching during sex, I'd rather be a genital fetishist (especially since that's an oxymoron and literally not possible)

and also, for a group of people who say others obsess about genitals, they sort of forget theyre the ones tying their entire gender to genitals and letting their gender determine their sex.
