@MediaActivist That's a really interesting piece to read; thoughtfully considered & written by its author. Ta for posting it.
I have so many thoughts, & so much sadness [+ frustration & anger] each time i contemplate this awful attitude of the #RWNJs & #ChristoFascists towards the #LGBTQI community, & especially we "monster du jour" #Trans peeps. For all the mentions in that [& similar] article/s of "conservative intellectuals", one glaring thought recurs to me...
HOW does a man loving a man, woman loving a woman, suppressed #Trans peep finally accepting their truth & deciding to emerge, hurt THEM [the conservatives]? Honest to dog, someone pls sit me down & explain to me in simple words coz clearly i'm too dumb, exactly specifically & precisely how *other* peeps finding *their* happiness, adversely impacts IN ANY WAY the daily lives of conservatives? 🤷♀️ 🤦♀️
If the only way they can defend their hatred & violence is religion-based, then they lose the argument [any defence predicated on fictitious bullshit is worth even less than the papyrus it's written on]. IMO there seems to be a strong correlation between #skyfairy delusions & anti-queer attitudes... yet another way that the invention of #religion has been & remains one of humans' most toxically destructive errors.
If they insist, as so many deceitfully do, that they're simply "protecting the children", then they need to explain & justify. Do they seriously intend to keep prosecuting a fatuous argument that "gayness" or "transness" might be caught by their kids like a cold... or like Covid19 😜 ?
Ofc, i entirely recognise the naivety & impotence of my position. There's not much good in winning an argument with logic empathy & decency, if the opposing side has the political numbers to marginalise, ostracise, & punish you, &/or the untrammelled violence & inhumanity to murder you.
