I can't imagine it not being a huge fucking deal if he said equivalent things about any other marginalized group, including gay men.

Oh please, as if trans activists don't regularly say much, much worse about gay men and lesbians.

It's interesting how over and over again, on multiple twitter accounts and even comments on reddit, these straight men in wigs have been trying (but failing) to manipulate the anger they provoked on to gays and it inevitably goes on to lesbians.

Homosexuals always had to be clever in how we were accepted. It had to be a mist of acceptance that was organic and natural, where people just naturally spoke well of us. And these people came on in a time of severe consequences for violating political correctness. That's when they were successful in hijacking gay/lesbian lobbying groups and made them all trans. So when gays and lesbians actually built social and cultural capital, respect and a proper movement we could bequeath to gay and lesbian kids, all of that energy and money, and compassion and trust we built with heteros was squandered on harassing straight people with pronouns.
