I'm sick and tired of the 'gay' and 'lesbian' labels being used by straight males/females. by Smolders1 in LGBDropTheT

Excellent post. Thank you.

That's a good point; thanks for replying. As lesbians, my partner and I distance ourselves more every year from the degenerate faction of "LGBTs" that help to fuel vicious TRAs.

Just when I thought I'd seen the worst, ugliest side of TRAs, now I discover this. I don't even know where to start.

(Well, first of all - purely for context - I'm saying this as a white woman.)

The vicious racism on display in the screenshots on this link is no better or less ignorant than examples I've read from literally hundreds of years ago, such as the ridiculous notion that black people are somehow a different 'species' [cringe] and as if the difference and distinction could be somehow more significant and fundamental than the difference between biological genders. [Bangs head on desk] [Deep sigh]

Consider this: We are actually supposed to be the most well-informed set of people to ever inhabit the earth, because a majority have access to the most advanced technology seen so far, for accessing information on demand, pretty instantly, on an infinite number of topics... and yet there are people STILL offering up ideas like these on race, and expecting them to be taken as plausible? Seriously, wow.

It just shows how desperate these TRAs are to try and validate themselves, if they are reaching this far, into the nonsensical, for ammunition.

I don't know whether to be mostly embarrassed by association, to be the same colour in appearance as these morons, or frustrated, to know how many people are becoming afraid to speak against them.

What bizarre times we live in.

So RIP the Subreddit that saved me from being trans. by blahblahgcer in GenderCritical

I'm also on the autistic spectrum, and am a woman with no resemblance whatsoever to my gender stereotype. But, at 43, I'm looking back on an upbringing that was during the days before trans was ever a thing.

It was hard enough to be a lesbian during that era, but I can only imagine how hard it must be nowadays, being told you must be trans because you don't somehow conform to someone else's preconceived concept of what your sex should be and should look like. Wow.

It makes me thankful that I was young during a different era, because I'm exactly the type of non-conforming female that would've been vulnerable to this brainwashing.

I respect your frankness and honesty. You sound very self-aware and articulate; I admire that. Best wishes to you.

GC adult human female here. Hallelujah.

As a lesbian, I'm following with interest what LGBAlliance are doing, and think it's fascinating how Stonewall tried to drop one of LGBA's founders into trouble with her employer, just for expressing concern for gay rights and women's rights. We live in strange times!
