There are always the types of people who want to push every edge or boundary there is, just for the sake of being "edgy," and they always need to be kept under control.

The problem with them is that we seem to have forgotten over the past 10 years that it's important for LGB people to avoid even appearing to come after kids. I used to be a teacher. I understand the dynamics. Not only is it important for nothing inappropriate to be going on, but you have to avoid even the appearance of something inappropriate going on.

But the TQ+ mob doesn't get this, and they are hell-bent on marketing TQ+ ideas to kids -- at the expense of normal LGB people who support normal boundaries between what is appropriate for adults and what is appropriate for kids.

Activists love to shit on "respectability politics," but being respectable and behaving in a respectable way is actually pretty effective. Look at what the Civil Rights Movement did with Rosa Parks. The myth was that she just got tired of going to the back o the bus one day, but we now know the reality was that the whole thing was planned and that Rosa Parks was picked for that role because she had a blameless reputation and no skeletons in her closet. She had a spotless background in every way, and thus, no one could undermine her as a sympathetic figure. And it worked.

Honestly, I don't even wholly blame the TQ weirdos, it's just the "MAPs" or whatever the pedos are calling themselves these days that got folded into the umbrella of diversity and inclusivity. That's sorta what happens when you try to cater to all "marginalized" groups, you get the good AND the bad. However the closing off of communication within this little group, as in if you question even one thing you're immediately a bigot and a transphobe and a Nazi and all that word-salad bullshit, is what's hurting everyone the most.

Letting them, and by 'them' I mean the dons tinfoil hat globalist agitators make words akin to violence is what lead us down this road. I mean if you remove or muddy the purpose and intent of words, what is language? And how can you communicate with whatever remains after you butcher said language?

It's hard not to be a doomer, I know it's not a healthy mindset, but I just honestly think this whole world is so fucked.
