HRC’s ‘Emergency’ Declaration

by on

The Human Rights Campaign issues a warning to be afraid…be very afraid:

Via the Washington Times:
>>Mr. Moran said the problem is that HRC has redefined support for LGBTQ rights to include “trans surgeries for minors, biological men competing in women’s sports, and sex and gender identity lessons in kindergarten.”<<

The gender ideology narrative is failing to convince the masses, so it’s an “emergency”!

Promoting the medical transitioning of gay kids is the real emergency that gay people should be responding to:

No Longer a ‘Gay’ Movement, for Sure

by on

For gay men and lesbians, the LGBTQ+ movement has marginalized our identities and erased our history with false narratives. It’s also put gay and lesbian youth at great risk of being lured into horrific medicalized “gender affirming” conversion therapies. And nothing will change (except things getting worse) until gay men and lesbians realize what’s happened and work to recreate a movement focused on our rights and well-being.

Added: The appropriate response to rightwing attacks focused on TQ+ extremism (but also extending to undermine acceptance of gay people) should not be to circle the wagons and defend TQ+ extremism!

Trans Ideology and the New Homophobia

Ben Appel writes:

All around me, it seemed, straight people were spontaneously identifying into my community and then policing our behaviours and customs. I began to think that this broadening of the ‘trans’ and ‘queer’ umbrella was giving a hell of a lot of people a free pass to express their homophobia. …

I wondered how different these so-called trans kids were from the little boy I had been. Obviously, I grew up to be a gay man and not a transwoman. But how could gender clinicians tell the difference between a young boy expressing his homosexuality through gender nonconformity, and someone ‘born in the wrong body’? I decided to dig deeper into the real history of medical transition.

It’s well worth reading.
