Progressed has stalled in the LGBTQ community in the same sense that it's stalled in modern feminism or pro-black movements. They've spread their cause so wide that there can't be progress because they can't even agree on where to progress to.

When your message also incorporates anti-capitalism, anti-racism, misandry, etc you lose people progressively every step of the way.

I don’t see how the parents of trans kids are groomers

its not worth engaging with people creating fiction like that

insane how anti-trans rhetoric has got A LOT worse this past year. obviously it was always horrible but ppl are straight up mask-off recently no dogwhistling or anything theyll say s*** like "we need to eradicate trans ppl" and will face no consequences

in America be it Muslims, Black People, Immigrants, Trans people there always has to be a boogeyman , demonization or othering of a group of people to argue over in the media. It generates money, attention, arguments, fear in infinite cycles.

I and A?

*Transgenderism not trans ppl

Jerry Falwell Sr almost singlehandedly set us on this path after originally believing preachers had no place in politics, but seeing how effective Dr King was with the civil rights movement

LMAO

This is rarely what gender affirming care is.

“Transgender and nonbinary youth who reported having pronouns respected by all of the people they lived with attempted suicide at half the rate of those who did not have their pronouns respected by anyone with whom they lived.
Transgender and nonbinary youth who were able to change their name and/or gender marker on legal documents, such as driver’s licenses and birth certificates, reported lower rates of attempting suicide.“

Things as basic and simple as this are what gender affirming care can be. If you think the fight for gender affirming care is about “experiments” then you don’t know what you’re even saying

You must have missed the part where I said their pronouns should be respected

"New polling from Data for Progress suggests that voters are starting to see the GOP’s efforts as just that. When asked about the more than 400 pieces of legislation working their way through statehouses, “aimed at limiting the rights of transgender and gay people in America,” 64 percent of respondents, including 55 percent of Republicans, sided with the statement “This is too much legislation. Politicians are playing political theater and using these bills as a wedge issue,” compared with 25 percent who agreed with the statement “This is the right amount of legislation. Politicians are dealing with a real danger that needs to be addressed.”

That figure rose to 78 percent among respondents who know a transgender person.

This polling finds that voters across all political parties see the Republican attempt to flood state legislatures with anti-LGBTQ+ legislation as political theater,” said Erin Thomas, a pollster at Data for Progress. “It also shows that the ideas espoused by today’s loudest anti-trans advocates — that trans people threaten children and that our identities are a ‘woke’ invention — don’t resonate with the average voter."

who are the 5 brainlets who liked this post

They're also banning treatments for ADULTS by removing insurance coverage and banning it from being prescribed through telehealth

username is DATA but doesn't engage in any

what is "transgenderism" to you

I think gays are pretty widely accepted nowadays.

Trans community still fighting those battles

Who still talking s*** about LGBT?

F*** em

This tbh. And I think the idea of being trans is gonna be a much harder thing to jump on board with than the idea of being gay for most people. So it’s gonna take a minute

Even then, people made the pronouns in bio stuff a thing so that counts as some progress

Florida

The "shit" is so crucial in this sentence

On a worldwide scale, it's still an uphill battle for everyone in the LGBTQIA+ community, especially in Africa. S***, Uganda has proposed a bill that makes it illegal to identify as gay.

Doesn't matter just accurately quoting

No one has shown anything to dispute a single thing I've said itt

Damn now adults gotta pay outta pocket like every other cosmetic procedure surely this is genocide
