Wait, misogynist AND trans-exclusionary to care about being a gold star gay? As in, the misogyny is not fully related to or reliant on the trans-exclusionary aspect of it? As in it is morally wrong to not be attracted to women? Hmm, sounds like there's some more going on here.

And the criticisms that aren't going on here include the fact that the whole concept of a "gold star gay" is a way of some gays acting like they're better than others because there is a group of gay men who have had sex with people they aren't attracted to, either because of confusion about their sexuality, societal pressures, or something worse like societal threats. Someone pretending to be straight for their own protection, even to the point of having kids with a partner they are not attracted to, is nothing to be ashamed of and the concept of a gold star gay is a dumb and useless thing to label people over.

But to complain about gold stars because it shows that gay men don't want to have sex with women? Ridiculous.
