I know you don't universally represent all transgendered, nor do you have the power to speak on all of their behalf, but as a member of their community, you and other like minded transgenders (if you know of any) should really, REALLY think about getting together and speaking publicly against the hysteria stemming out of the woke community and the LGBT+ community in general, and the feminists too.

As it stands, they are doing way, WAY more harm to your cause than good, and turning otherwise accepting people like me who didn't give a good god damn what gender you think yourselves or what you do to your bodies into increasingly close-minded folk who are starting to think all the religious gay "slippery slope" arguments of the 90s had a lot of merit to them and that perhaps it was indeed a mistake to be so welcoming and accepting to begin with. Your crazy extremist leftist woke brethren are doing unbelievable damage toward ever achieving any kind of true acceptance, despite what the mainstream media will lead you to believe. You are on a very dangerous path because of these people, and it can turn at any moment. Frankly, I'm surprised it hasn't already.

If you have the means, please speak out against these extremist types and condemn them and their insanity as they rightly should be condemned.

I've been doing that on the Internet here and there. I posted a rant to YouTube a while back about how they're trying to put black and brown stripes on the rainbow flag to represent non-white people, which is woke and stupid. There's also a version with a hooker symbol on it, which sounds like a right-wing meme, but it was created by leftists, LOL.

If I were part of a group that were claiming to speak on my behalf with this nonsense, I'd be furious. I know there are many people in the LGBT+ community who can't stand this crap, maybe even the majority. Why are we letting a minority of screeching idiots dictate the conversation? It's incredibly dangerous, and it only furthers the divide among all of us.

I wish I had an easy solution, but other than telling these people that they don't speak for us and they can go to hell, I can't think of any.

Yeah, it's insane.

So'm similar is the issue of abortion. Publicly, most LGBT people support abortion up to the moment of birth, but in private: I've known many who consider it to be murder — even Libertarians who consider it a violation of their NAP.

The reason for this secrecy is that they fear being ostracized by the "community" after already being ostracized by so many people on account of their queerness. I've said it before: the LGBT "community" has become a cult, where anyone who disagrees with the leadership is shunned.

I, however, refuse to remain silent about my beliefs.

I have friends who share a similar sentiment. I was scolding one just yesterday for continuing to associate with and pretending to be like these SJW psychos when privately, he's against all of it. It ticks me off to no end. Totally spineless. I don't even know how such people can get up in the morning. I'd rather have no friends at all than associate with people I know are balls deep into this ridiculous, extremist, harmful ideology. In fact, I actually lost many of my friends a little over a year ago because I'd had it with their bullshit and told them so. Several decade plus friendships gone overnight because I dared to question their acceptance of "systemic racism." Fuck them.

We've wondered for nearly a hundred years how dictatorial regimes like the Nazis and the like were allowed to rise and take over and commit atrocities. This is how. We're witnessing firsthand how fucking stupid and conformist and easily manipulated a vast swath of the population can be, holding hands together as they skip merrily along into what will undoubtedly be some kind of oblivion. "Never again" my ass.

Well said.
