I’ve noticed that too. It’s not a good look when you constantly lock news threads because most people point out the obvious. Though I’m sure they want to believe that bio men playing in women’s sports, beating the stuffing out of women in MMA, acting like total predators in women’s bathrooms, silencing women, humiliating, berating, and degrading them when they speak up for themselves and their spaces, demanding sexual attraction regardless of their anatomy, and generally acting like awful people… well none of that shit is popular with the majority of people and is likely a major element driving down support of the LGBT community overall, which adversely impacts community members who are also sick to death of these repulsive clowns hijacking the cultural conversation.

I know that I’m sick of it. And I’m a pretty laid back guy, okay with people’s quirks and foibles for the most part. But I’m seriously not okay with guys who think that they can toss on an ill fitting dress, soak themselves in poorly applied makeup, and then selfishly hogging the mic to bellow about “misogyny and women’s issues,” and dictate to the rest of us how we must treat them and say, Emily Blunt, the exact same way because of some as yet undefinable definition of what constitutes a woman. But most of us already know. I think many of us are even down to be polite to people on a person to person level, providing that they too, treat us with respect. But to think that we’re going to just turn off our humanity, biological, emotional, and sexual, to cater to their changing whims, to “validate” their mental health issues, and to be responsible for their ridiculous expectations for their emotional “safety” by only ever exalting their every desire and never expressing a contrary perspective… that just isn’t going to happen. People will just go out of their way to avoid a walking train wreck, rather than end up walking on eggshells for a relationship that is nearly completely one sided.
