I read over it, easy enough because I used to participate in this style of academic discourse. It's mostly an attempt to tie together anti-trans and anti-gay by comparing worries of gay contagion to trans contagion (when, in fact, the two phenomena are quite different).

What I notice is that amid all the learned theoretical discussion, there is no discussion of actual outcomes, like the high suicide rate post-transition. So, on the one hand, the posture the writer takes is one a kind of general concern for "youth," but, on the other, he has no real interest whatsoever in their long-term psychological health or happiness.

That's what Queer Theory does for us. It disrupts, believing that that's a good thing in and of itself, but it cares nothing for the real-life consequences of that disruption in the lives of the individuals affected by it.

True 'queer' theory is excellent for academics writing about literature, poetry, film/media, but it is not relevant to everything in real life.

It has been nothing but a disaster for film and media.

The gays are still racist

This talking point has been used for so long even though the data says it's the exact opposite and has been for a long time.

I keep this article saved to respond to these people. ( https://www.huffpost.com/entry/gay-couples-interracial-interethnic-2010-census_n_1456613 ) ok it's 10 yrs old already FML.

Notice that just as recently as 2012 the terminology was to say "same sex" but now everyone keeps going around saying it was "always same gender".

From the Reddit comments "Anyway Branson is completely right of course. We have to abolish the parental family. Abolish the compulsory coupling norm.Otherwise any liberation movement will just lead to new lines being drawn and new divisions, just like they have today. There is no other way. UBI, universal subsidized childcare."

We earned our rights without doing that. These people are insane.Correction : These people are filthy paederasts who never did stop their efforts to normalize child abuse.

The first paragraph of "Gay Liberation Filed" reads :

" We have heard the story of this capitulation ad infinitum, less so its unintended consequences, namely, as Hocquenghem saw it, the further marginalization of others formerly under the umbrella of homosexuality—the trans woman, the effeminate man, the criminal queer, the pederast".

I will never support a movement which enables paedophiles. Never.

Or, basically, Huxley's Brave New World.
