Opinion Why is “LGB” part of the same movement as “TQIA+”

[koa pomaikai]

It seems to me that LGB are its own separate movement around sexual orientation while the rest is all about what sex you are.

They seem like very separate movements, in fact it seems the movement for trans-gender has boycotted the LGBTQIA movement and rather than things being about equality with sexual orientation, it’s all about gender identity now.

it got hi jacked

 

[KAZSoliloquy]

you said it yourself. sexual identity.

 

[freakroor]

I really dont think the asexual "A's" should be included with the rest at all. It's like saying clear is a color.

 

[iNoScopedJFK]

Because Republicans hate them all.

 

[Fergelmince]

Especially queer.

 

[Zazen]

Isn’t there already a trans mega thread?

Let's just call it what it is: "Everyone vs straight white people," especially men.

There really is no movement accomplishing anything helpful to society as a whole whatsoever. It actually has had the opposite effect.

Probably because divide and conquer is typically a very effective strategy, and the group is more interested in gaining power as a whole instead of infighting.

So even if there are contradictory elements in it, most people don't really care to get into the details. People at a superficial level just want the effective branding and marketing ... and since LGB has become overwhelmingly accepted and largely celebrated, having the rest tack on makes strategic sense to group.

I'm personally so exhausted with it at this point. We have all sorts of information and activity at your fingertips and people actually thinking their gender is some sort of fascination and of interest to others that it needs to be in the news cycle is so fucking boring. But there's a lot of dingbats who grew up with social media and have just become insufferably shallow and narcissistic pieces of shit.

 

[RemyR]

Not much of the whole movement makes sense anymore, if you're looking for logic I'd look elsewhere.

 

[Rygu]

If you ever want to hear a gay man rant ask him that exact question. A lot of them want nothing to do with the TQIA either and who can blame them?

You’d think they wouldn’t give a fuck

 

[Natural Order]

Movement. LOL!

 

[Captain Tenneal]

I guess its a "movement", to temporarily subvert reality and make power grabs for various positions

But in reality it's the after effects of the sexual revolution coming to fruition

For some very strange reason, LGBs didn't protest when guys claiming they were women decided to pretend they were part of the same family of "outsiders". It's really sad that LGBs don't tell them to fuck off and quit pretending they are all part of the same group.

Eventually philes will try to join the fray. It will be interesting to see if they get accepted so the group becomes LGBTQIAP. Of course they'll change the name from philes, to lovers of souls or some shit. "We believe that love is love, and people shouldn't be discriminated against because they love someone who society says is too young. We are lovers of souls and we believe that two people in love with each other's inner beauty should not be forbidden to be intimate simply because their physical ages are not deemed appropriate."

I can just see Gavin Newsom nodding in agreement and then signing a new bill that stops the discrimination in its tracks. It sounds absurd. But 15 years ago, allowing a boy who thinks he's a girl play in girls' sports would have been laughed at as pure insanity. And yet here we are.

I think the euphemistic term is "Minor Attracted Persons". I think though that the pendulum will swing back before then as hopefully this turbo narcissist driven deviance drives falls out of fashion very thankfully.

I mean shit, could you imagine being one of the shit-for-brains turbo-narcissist loud mouths from the video of post 6, who thinks everyone in attendance has to listen to THEM and they own the floor?

Step 1 - Scream like a retard, if that doesn't work,
Step 2 - Yell at the presenter that they're bigoted or a phobe of some variety,
Step 3 - if presenter is male, simply yell they are mansplaining,
Step 4 - if still not working, swear as often and aloud as you can,
Step 5 - pull the fire alarm and run off if you can.

One would hope people would mature and look back in sheer embarrassment.

We all know that they’re secretly attracted to them.

Their unquenchable obsession with trans women is a dead giveaway.

These guys are obsessed with the LBGTQ community and that’s all projection and deflection. It doesn’t take a Sigmund Freud to break these weird mother fuckers down.

 

[Hog-train]

It got hijacked.

The gay people made their own organization called the LGB alliance and they recently had a conference in England.

Got hijacked by trans activists who released thousands of cockroaches into the crowd.

 

[djacobox372]

It started as LGB, than other groups started piling on... you even see LGBTQAI-IPOC these days.

How about we just cut to the chase and call it NSWM (not-straight-white-men).

Wouldn't surprise me. A lot of these right-wing politicians get caught with porn on their computer. Some trans people who date online also report there being a ton of these types sending private messages to them.
