I think the thing is, that the "slippery slope" is real, it's just that who's "slope" it is, is misconstrued. It's not LGB people who have any slippery slope, at least not the majority of us. It's a particular type of activist who has us on a slope. Those who want to disrupt society and challenge normativity, they jumped on LGB rights and once that was won, needed new causes to keep disrupting norms.

Completely agree. Honestly, I am starting to wonder if the whole "LGB spaces being colonized by a subset of bored straight people" phenomenon was actually going on for decades before this, and just took off (or became more obvious) with the advent of the internet.

I've been involved in campaigning. I campaigned for same sex marriage in my country and once that was won, en masse we moved on to abortion rights, as we had none. Once that was won, there was a massive sense of, "now what?" For a lot of us, repealing the ban on abortion rights had literally been part of our identity for decades. It was really tough for that to suddenly be over.

That's a great point. I've wondered that sometimes myself, about LGBDropTheT-- once trans ideology becomes unpopular in the mainstream, what'll be the focus of LGB communities and how much time will I spend in them? I think I'll still be quite interested in our issues generally, and maybe shift my attention to rights in other countries, but I would probably devote more time to hobbies as well, honestly.

But so, so many of them need to be patriarchy smashing activists that they just don't seem to understand what they are actually advocating for anymore.

Man, that's sad. The road to hell is paved with good intentions, I guess.
