Sweet young woman who tried to reason w trans activists can't figure out why they're still mean to her: "Trans activists are telling me to eat glass and saying they hope I get raped and murdered. I am not even transphobic. My crime is only calling vulvas “female genital anatomy.”

A lot of the LGB, especially the younger ones, are totally indoctrinated with the "Trans women of color threw the first brick at Stonewall" and other such ideas and genuinely think that trans people have always been at the core of LGB activism. Hell, lots of women are out championing undermining women's sex-based rights. And many women and LGB who are not indoctrinated are too scared to speak out.

Radical feminists were some of the first to sound the alarm on this, but I think they may have made one strategic error. They didn't realize that straight non-trans men would be their natural allies, more so than liberal feminists. I think with the Superstraight trend, we see that a lot of thoroughly decent non-trans men who didn't realize what was going on are ready to come to the rescue.

I agree with all your comments.

I'm one of the older, 2nd Wave feminists who was cruising along, living life, thinking that at least some of the major battles to let women lead free lives had been won, when a few things happened: a young lesbian I am very close to "came out" with a bunch of her private school friends as "gender fluid/transgender" and Bruce Jenner was named a WOMAN of the Year. I'm still chortling over the latter.

Then pink hats being banned from some Women's Marches because they were "transphobic." Then California allowing men to self-identity into women's nursing home and longterm care facilities and also criminalizing "misgendering."

The hits kept coming.

I was even more shocked to learn that there was such a thing as "lib fems," who seemed to be adherents of a men's rights movement that they called 3rd Wave feminism, or something.

When I figured out what lib fems "stood" for, I figured these women would be no use in fighting gender ideology, but instead men would. Normal, Joe Six-Pack heterosexual men. And I (and you) were right.

And, as you say, the younger LGB are useless because they have been so effectively indoctrinated by Big Gender into an alternate, and completely incorrect, homosexual history, where trans are the heroes and gays did?

I never thought I would be thanking whatever powers there be for the Republicans, but today, during the Equality Act Senate Judiciary Committee hearings, I was cheering them on.
