Not “groomers” and shouldn’t be outlawed. But let’s not pretend activists don’t have an agenda for promoting DQSH.

The New Mission
Organizations that were once at the forefront of the movement for gay and lesbian rights and social inclusion have morphed into something very different, following the achievement of legal equality for gays and lesbians, and for transgender people. In keeping with fashionable progressive-left trends, they’re now onboard with the war on the gender binary.

Yup. I was one of two in my class’s “LGB”T+ pride club who graduated as just LGB. To my knowledge, only 1 entered the club as a T. It has been wild – so wild I had to write a book discussing it.

LGBTQ+ Activists and Journalist Allies Against Practice of Journalism (Addendum)
More on the response to the campaign against the New York Times by GLAAD, Human Rights Campaign, and others for (1) reporting on the medical transitioning of minors and including the critical views of doctors and detransitioners, and (2) running an op-ed defending J.K. Rowling for casting a critical eye on requiring that transmen, including men who simply present as women, be granted access to women-only spaces.

Thou Shall Not Question Woke Holy Writ
Added: More about the woke-left’s protests against the New York Times for daring to report there is debate among doctors over the speed at which gender nonconforming kids are being rushed into medicalized transitioning.
The key premise of the NYT letter is that coverage resources are misplaced because nothing important has changed in youth gender treatment. And that is demonstrably untrue. https://t.co/JPdDHZso9E

And this:
A @nytimes opinion columnist writes a defense of JK Rowling. You can agree or disagree with the piece, just as you can agree or disagree with JKR. But should “human rights” organizations really be in the business of demanding that ONLY perspectives they agree with be published? https://t.co/aevqI9UJyU

This is not only unprincipled but also self-defeating. Very likely a huge proportion of Americans have more conflicting views on trans and gender issues than @HRC. Only tolerance for differing views – not least those of minorities – permit trans-activist a prominent voice.

And Andrew Sullivan weighs in:
And yet the LGBTQ+ woke brigades care not about any of the evidence. Anyone who points out what’s actually happening, most often to gender-nonconforming gay and lesbian kids, is a “TERF” or a “homocon” or some other silly, dismissive insult lobbied by people who shut down their brains long ago to anything outside of the woke-progressive narrative that they parrot with a veracity that makes religious fundamentalists seem like pikers.
