Yeah, I don't know what happened. I thought that it wasn't a choice, but a preference that is out of our hands when it comes to our sexuality. Making it a choice undermines this. What is worse though, it seems like they justify conversion therapy now... not only does making it a choice become vindication for the conservatives and justify the discrimination but it justifies conversion therapy towards gay people because we break down what it means to be a lesbian or to be gay.

I agree with you. They have decided that trans rights trump the rights of other minorities or groups that they used to support. Like when it comes to lesbian rights or women's rights. There is more to be gained by pushing trans rights above other groups. But as you say, it shouldn't be at the expense of others. Trans people need their own spaces and support groups for the issues unique to them which they are being failed right now. Likewise other groups may need this.

I do wonder if something can be said about the internet when it comes to the speeds of these things. With the internet comes more exposure. Then again, these things are being broadcast all over now. In the education system, in the media and in politics. In the corporations. It's insane. I don't know how to set the healthy boundaries with this stuff so that it doesn't destroy society or people. Makes me want to distance myself from the LGBT community and the political movements with this.

I think I'd be happy to not have links to the LGBT movement too. As I've gotten older, I just want a normal life with my own personal responsibilities relating to that life and meeting my life goals. So it's nice to find other people that think similarly. Because so often, as you pointed out, I just see the types of people that would be called freaks being represented in the media... but that isn't me. I don't find that relatable. Some of these people just aren't the types of people that I could call good role models, and other people cover up the shit that they've done.

The funny thing is, I do wonder if they've created more conservatives with this attitude where they want to infuriate them further. Just seeing how far they go is very off-putting.
