Not all of us who have grown up 'LGBT' who fought for equality, acceptance and the desire to integrate into society are on board with what this has turned into. It's now an aggressive push with an ideology that's not grounded in anything the LGBT movement was fighting for.
Equality & acceptance
Why am I now supposed to accept terms like calling me 'queer', it's a revolting word and it was used hate speech for many gay men and kids particularly. I personally suffered physical violence in the 90s with that word used by the perpetrators. People who faced no repercussions since apparently being assaulted at school or on your way home weren't criminal enough since f@gs like me deserved it, or I should try to be less 'homo'.
I, and many others I know personally along with a growing voice online do not accept anything past the T being attached to our
sexuality. Gender identity and fluidity are their own thing and also have no basis in reality. T being part of the LGB I understand even though this isn't a sexuality, since they were always part of our movement and many died and experienced violence fighting for rights with us. Traditional tran
sexuals are not the same as people now self-IDing as non-binary who all claim to be 'trans
gender'. So many older trans-people worked their butts of with an acute desire to transition to the opposite sex, of which there are 2 sexes. Not scales of gender. Also there's a medical basis for transsexual people who are diagnosed with gender dysphoria. Kids now walk into a gender affirming clinic, say they feel like a boy/girl and get handed puberty blockers, hormone treatments and have been able to get breasts cut off.
This doesn't mean we have to accept random girls claiming they identify as NB or men with lipstick and a wig with full facial hair jerking off in a women's bathroom as part of LGBT. There's plenty of science and medical basis behind LGBT people and the fact that we are genetically different (mentally for T).
Why are 1/4 youth in US now identifying as 'LGBTQ'? (queer/trans grew here)

This is a huge topic that warrants plenty of discussion and debate on really important issues that aren't just ideas and beliefs, but have real-world consequences particularly with kids. 'Gender affirming care' allowing children under 18 to permanently remove organs and become infertile along with becoming medicalised for the rest of their lives is a not acceptable. There's also plenty of new research coming out to support that any medical intervention shouldn't be tolerated until someone's an adult. Lots of new research has come out to show people on a new perspective on old narratives and non-scientific surveys that were pushed by places like GLAAD. Cass Review everyone should know about already from last month, and this one done in Netherlands

Also this is the point where having literally any difference of opinion from 'LGBTQAI+' causes you to be deemed transphobic, homophobic, bigoted etc. If you don't fall in line with every talking point and idea that the activists and LGBTQ media promote than you're branded with any of these labels. Individual thought and expression isn't promoted - instead you're forced to accept that gay porn now includes FTM content even when the performer hasn't had bottom surgery. I should be okay that there's examples of teachers teaching about gender identity and pronouns, and that there's also books created for this age with cartoon depictions of gay fetish kinks. LGBT was never about pushing this stuff onto them which this new monstrosity formed from the old LGBT movement has demanded. This just brands your average gay man as a creep since we're 'part of the same group' even though I have nothing to do with what's currently being pushed.
I'm not transphobic for not getting hard looking a vagina. I'm a gay man, when I want to watch gay porn I only want to seen men and their wonderous cocks and loads. When I date, I only want a biological male. I have 3 friends who are traditional transexuals who also share similar views, they don't expect a straight or gay person to be attracted to them. And they get plenty of dick since their have their own community and people are are specifically into what they have going on (trans porn is pretty huge).
I'm sure the Marxists here who don't believe gays like me have a right to being ideologically different are allowed to have these views, apparently because I'm a man who's attracted to other men means I have to share all the same beliefs and world-views.
Also stop using cis, who likes to be called cis? At a minimum, 99% of the world's population is 'cis' and we don't need an ugly label to differentiate ourselves from trans-people. Add this the laundry list of concepts being pushed onto the larger non-LGBT population which is now being pushed back against, understandably, causing LGBT acceptance in the US to go backwards for the first time in over a decade.
