The desire to move away from all this was all about individual freedom, something we should all value. Heterosexual people got enormous benefits. Sex restriction is a way to totally control absolutely everyone, just as you show here. I didn’t really use/need most of these freedoms, primarily out of personal preference (LOL heterosexist cisgender traditional norms can fit your personal inclinations) but it’s wild so many people DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS. They talk about these changes people advocate as if they are ‘forcing’ people to do something or it involves deception. No, it’s the opposite. It’s the promise to the end of forcing people, lying to people, controlling them, manipulating them, deciding how they should live, and harming and even killing them as a result.

Why do more people not understand this? Sexual and gender control is control of everybody. Sexual and gender freedom is freedom for everybody. There are a million examples, many of which benefit the lives of all heterosexual cisgender people. As I see it, it analogizes to religious freedom but it’s too much work to do that argument, and people don’t care about religious freedom anymore. But that’s because it worked. And we are all better off as a result. We must make sex and gender freedom work too. There’s no downside, except for those who wish to unjustly control others.

I appreciate your reasoned arguments and historical points. I was a federal employee active in a LGBT group in DC for 20 years. Even interviewed Frank Kameny (gay rights hero, google him!) and Barney Frank (gay congressman back in the nineties). So I am familiar with some of the garbage policing of non-conforming people (and women & minorities) in the federal bureaucracy. The hateful anti-DEI stuff that’s been happening these past few weeks under tRump is horrific. Unfortunately, public discourse today on these issues is often strident, of the “no debate’ type. We need ‘deep listening’ to others but I’m losing hope in our species, sadly. Some can create beautiful music and art but others are focused on mindless hate and destruction of others & the environment.

Great post. Probably best not to use the word “homosexual,” except when quoting historical sources. It’s a medical term used to pathologize queer people and not widely accepted by lgbtq folks today.

the word queer has changed its meaning several times. today it means for the most part straight people who identify as gay or trans as a style choice. its a political term that harms gays by its close association with gender ideology, a homophobic mens rights movement that tricks gays into a severely harmful medical intervention. the TQ movement and queer folk are using gays to benefit white males whose main intrest has nothing to do with gays

the difference between gay sexuality and gender ID is that gender ID is a choice. most grow out of it eventually. if kids aren't socially transitioned or given gender meds, 85% desist from thier wish to ID as another gender by puberty. 12 studies show this. zero refute it. and we now know that even after "transgender" persons have been taking gender meds for years, most detrans eventually. german insurance records found 50% stop taking gender meds by year 4. US military says a similar # stop taking gender meds by year 5. this tracks with most detrans by year 10, the time when detrans persons say detrans is typical. in contrast, homo or hetro is a sexuality and it doesnt change. Comparing the choice of gender identity with immutable traits such as ethnic back ground, sex or sexuality is racist, misogynistic and homophobic. but this is all part of the decades long homophobic, misogynistic mens rights misinformation campaign called gender ideology.

theres nothing more homophobic than sterilizing gays to address normal issues most grow out of. but thats what these frauds are tricking people into

another big difference is that every stat and claim by those promoting gender ideology is a lie. your article claims "transgender" persons are more at risk in prisons. this info come from where? the cited article doesnt say. but we know this info comes from - the inmates themselves ! dudes trying to get into the female prisons. i mean who coild blame them. but why are you buyig it. did the prison says this? of course not. just like every gender ideology claim. its not police records or anything that can be checked. its fraud. and what happens when these dude get into female prisons? just as you would expect when male prisoners are placed with women. and worse.

yes, it is ironic that the man who said grab by the (bleeped out) is the one protecting women and a half doz vulnerable groups from the progressive mens rights movement called gender ideology that dems have been scammed into

Yes, gender ID is a choice. its a hobby like chess or fishing. its a fun hobby for some adults.

But for many kids, gays and ppl with psych issues, this choice is via a carefully crafted sales pitch that overstates the benefits and hides the downsides of this choice. they are being harmed by the $billion gender industry who are tricking vulnerable ppl via 1000 lies.

Kids are told gender meds help every normal kid issue. thats a lie. every gov systematic review on earth found gender meds dont help anything. not dysphoria. not mental health. nothing. zero. zip. its a scam. gender meds make all these issues worse. thats why gender meds and affirming trans identity are being banned or severely restricted in UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden and other places. Those countries care about their vulnerable citizens and are protecting them from

medical quacks who claim trans ID helps. in the US, TQ activists have tied their wagon to LGB "rights" and use the LGB brand to restrict information regarding the downsides of gender "care". The thing is that LGB ppl have already earned all the rights they ever wanted in the US - the right to marry, and equal medical care for aids and things like that. the TQ movement isnt intrested in anything like that. what they want are extra rights that severely harm others, like harming women by allowing men in their spaces, and harming kids by robbing their right to puberty and life long health. every magor LGB group today in the US today actually harms LGB ppl by promoting gender affirming care, a severe intervention that causes gays life long harm and zero benefit.

Yes, i know uv been conned by the mens rights movement promoting this fraud that harms women, kids, gays, orphans ppl with psych issues and others. every gender biz stat and claim is a lie. you can't name one thats not. go ahead.pls relay your big biz talking points. youre being lied to.
