I have my doubts. I live in a gay mecca. Lots of trans supportive Instagram stories in my feed. Everyone is obviously full of shit. It's like when the gay community tries to be about body positivity but in reality it's the same muscular hot dudes getting all the attention. Not that I have a problem with that, I'm just annoyed with the performance of it all.

I'm not sure what the issue is that you're describing.

Is it that gay spaces are being taken over by hug-boxing TQ+, or is it that gay spaces are focused on physical attributes/features instead of something else?

My annoyance is the gay community at large saying one thing and then doing another. So saying "trans men are men " and "I'd be open to dating a trans man" and of course they never do.

It's the same idea about gays who preach body positivity but at the end of the day everyone just wants the hot dudes.

I don't care the community is appearances based, it's because we're men. Male homosexuals who want to fuck other hot guys. Why do we have to keep putting on this false pretense about what really motivates us ?

The problem is we don't know how much of it is hypocritical, inauthentic virtue signalling, where they tell themselves it's true but never actually expect it will happen to them and don't give it any real though, and how much of it is virtue signalling for fear of being otherwise ostracized from their social group knowing full well they'd never sleep with a heterosexual woman even if you paid them. I don't like the idea of lying and contributing to the public perception that gay men really have the hots for heterosexual women with identity issues, but it is what it is; the peer pressure is really strong, and it's undeniable TRAs have a lot of clout currently in mainstream LGBT. Though more pushback is exactly what we need to stop it...
