The irony is that most of the AGP cross dressers were heterosexual men with a fetish who wanted NOTHING to do with gay rights from the 1960s through the 1990s. Then, once gay rights started making strides in the 2000s, they decided to hijack it for their own ends. And they decided the way to do it was to rewrite the history of gay rights, putting themselves at the center. That's really a big part of what peaked me, the overwhelming, deliberate dishonesty of it all.

Not really ironic to me. These people prove themselves to be homophobic. Partially the homophobia leads to the trans stuff... See pat Robertson etc.

Irony depends a lot on point of view. In this case, I think it's the contrast between their historic homophobia and their current claims that they were always at the center of the gay rights movement, which wouldn't have happened without them doing all the work.

True, i guess the idea that transgender people are homophobic is actually ironic but I'm just so used to it at this point that to me this is the expected outcome.
