Then that doesn't happen, and the sane people think, "Oh, so they're just blowing every little thing out of proportion." So if there are any serious issues that the TQ+ community is facing, everyone's going to start thinking, "Oh, fuck off you whiny crybabies."

They're abusing the goodwill given to them(mostly acquired through Gay activism) by crying wolf too many times.

I give it 10 years tops before people just start blatantly ignoring anything they say, and it'll be their own damn fault if they can't manage to get whatever rights they think they don't have.

While this sounds just, I think they long foresaw this eventuality and been entangling themselves with the LGB for years so people will have a very difficult time shaking the association of gender identity/ideology from sexual orientation in their heads if the situation ever goes sour for them. And they can use this association to pressure the community for support if they really started needing it. Kinda a 'we're all in this together' type of social coercion. Actually, they already do it now even when they don't need to, so they are not really keeping their powder dry and it may cost them.

The best case scenario is the LGB side of the community loses patience with them and drops them long before the mainstream does.

"The best case scenario is the LGB side of the community loses patience with them and drops them long before the mainstream does" I think we're at the point where more of us have than haven't, yet the mainstream still continues to lump us all together, when the issue is always the TQ. I'm not in the UK but I doubt it's the LGB folks who are having a meltdown over this, yet always reported "LGBTQ". We're at the point where an individual is rarely recognized in the media as "a lesbian", "a gay man" it's "a LGBTQ person". "Normies" think LGBT(etc. etc) is just "one big happy family". Meanwhile how many of us same sex attracted folks even feel remotely welcome muchless represented in "the community" these days?

Yeah, I always thought it odd when someone says they are an LGBTQ person. Just say what you are; It's not that hard. Maybe they just don't want people to know..

Indeed. The whole point here is a giant pile-on of narcissistic toddlers in adult bodies looking for the most victim-y street cred they can find to cloak themselves with while they bully people. That's it. "LGBTQWTF" is their current weapon of choice because it gets so much traction. When that stops working, they will try something else, either individually or otherwise, because it's about being a victim in the end.

I'm honestly wondering whether they'll be able to pull off transageism.

In what sense? Because all they're doing now is being textbook for NPD. That inherently involves stunted emotional growth, i.e. acting like a toddler while your body continues to mature into adulthood without you. But that isn't trans-anything, it's pathology.

Some individuals may not but like everything else pushed with the media on this subject--they want us all lumped together.
