I'm starting to wonder if people make flags first, then the sexualities. Massive shame, because some of the flags they make are very nice, they're just attached to a load of bullshit.

I despise that photograph. I knew somebody who described it as wholesome because she "wasn't judging them". I don't talk with them anymore.

Story of a detrans male who is suffering because of use of puberty blockers in young age. Mermaids and Stonewall UK still maintain the stance that puberty blockers are completely reversible. I smell a scandal coming. by cutenoobies in LGBDropTheT

The UK Government apparently looked into outlawing hormone therapy for under-18s, incl. hormone blockers. I usually don't agree with the Conservatives, but as they say, a broken clock is correct twice a day.

If only they'd been cis I would've dated them" then it really begs the question "why does it matter?"

I wonder if a gay guy said that to a woman, they'd say the same.

In case you were wondering, this is what it looks like to misappropriate a gay/lesbian "identity" as a solution to life's problems. by yousaythosethings in LGBDropTheT

Well, if you scroll down somewhat you can see that this person thinks that "MOGAI" (read: attention seeking wannabes) and non-dysphoric trans people "don't harm the LGBT community". I'd argue otherwise.

First off, the MOGAI attention seekers absolutely can harm the LGBT community, especially the T. By people claiming to be 'stargender', or saying that their gender is "infinite and wondrous and impossible to embrace" and all that crap, they're actively mocking transgender/transsexual issues. It's a bit of a gap between "I feel uncomfortable in my own body" to "I want to be a fucking star". Now, the made-up sexualities could also cause some trouble for the LGB, but I feel like the concept of "I feel the same way about the same sex that you do about the opposite" is easier to consume for the average Joe than "I suffer from a condition called gender dysphoria" and all that. Chances are they'll conflate it with this attention-seeking bollocks, recognise it as such, and immediately assume that all trans people are attention seekers. This is a very long winded way of saying "it does cause harm to the LGBT community".

Now, non-dysphoric trans people are a bit similar to the "MOGAI" lot. Chances are they think that because they sometimes crossdress that they're trans, or something like that. So that could make people think that, when they find out that somebody is (legitimately) trans, "well they're probably just a very dedicated crossdresser" and therefore don't have to respect pronouns and all that, which can effect legitimate trans people with dysphoria.

Sorry if this isn't quite with the mood of the sub, but after reading it, i felt like it needs to be said.

As opposed to 'queer' which has never been used in anything but a derogatory sense towards us before it was 'reclaimed'.

But no, we should be using queer. Homosexual is wayyyy too descriptive medical.

Yeah, it's odd how the mainstream LGBT movement acts as though the Stonewall riots was the start of all gay rights, even among non-Americans, even though Stonewall wasn't even the start of it in the US.

People like Karl Heinrich Ulrichs, the UK's Wolfenden Report and the like seem to be largely overlooked. An exception to this would be Magnus Hirschfeld, as his work seems to be recognised every now and again. I'm afraid I don't know of any Russian gay rights movements, though. All of these came before Stonewall, and many came after, and independently. Though, I did find something interesting said in the "aftermath" section of Stonewall's wikipedia page.

The Stonewall riots marked such a significant turning point that many aspects of prior gay and lesbian culture, such as bar culture formed from decades of shame and secrecy, were forcefully ignored and denied. Historian Martin Duberman writes, "The decades preceding Stonewall... continue to be regarded by most gay men and lesbians as some vast neolithic wasteland."

Sorry if this was a meandering ramble, it's not often I get to talk about the topic and I've done some reading on it.
