Imagine having 41% of the year dedicated to celebrating and honoring you yet you still pretend that you’re oppressed. ~@robbystarbuck

They have to keep the pretense up. Partly because it feeds their narcissism to be poor, mistreated victims of that mean, ugly hetero majority that won't just let them live their lives in peace.

And partly because if they ever ease back on it, then all of the benefits that they've been enjoying will come to a stop. No more LGBT influencer lifestyles, no more corporate asskissing, no more Sam Brinton types in high-visibility government positions, and definitely no more (increasingly begrudging) tolerance of outright degeneracy and perversion.

Exactly. Part of being a victim is "never, ever, ever admit you're no longer the victim", no matter how much power you have.

Even if they had white, cishet men thrown into death camps, they would spin it as "look how privileged the white cishet men are. They get a quick death while WE have to suffer through the climate change THEY created and die slowly and painfully!"

and papering over the heavy criticism INSIDE of the spectrum: the intersex say "no, we're MEN, we didn't 'feel funny,' might wanna look up the Reimer twins--and stop appropriating our terms of 'assigned' fe/male"; genderfluidity is of course completely incompatible with dysphoria, and that whole "use our names and let us get a stiffy in the women's room or we'll kill ourselves" doesn't work if you don't have dysphoria (they even say requiring dysphoria's "cruel"); lesbians don't want limp dick, and they don't want it from someone who looks like Chris-Chan and pesters only "cis Gold Star lesbians"; and the gays who aren't farting glitter or throwing dildoes say "you're making us look bad" (spoilsports!)
