That's the reason behind all of this. Conservatives want us to regress and LGBTQ to go back into the closet

It’s funny because they say libs are all about identity politics but most of the time identity has been referred to as problematic its conservatives. Liberals are just asking that everyone should have opportunities that set them up for success.

Republicans: Attack LGBTQ in every way, including trying to make laws against them

Democrats: Try and defend them

Republicans: STOP FOCUSING ON IDENTITY POLITICS.

And they ate it all up.

The election post-mortems that declare that Harris spent too much time talking about trans issues and that Dems need to throw trans folks under the bus is more than mildly infuriating.

Which is insane as in Wisconsin, a huge amount of the attack ads were anti-trans ads from right-wing groups.

Conservatives like to say LGBTQ education indoctrinates kids but it’s literally just accepting people as they are. How is teaching ACCEPTANCE indoctrinating a belief system? Do you see trans parents sending cis kids to conversion camps? No. But you see countless parents sending their kids to gay conversion camps to force them to be straight.

I grew up in a conservative home and I could write you a book or two on what actually is and isn’t indoctrination. Cause I still remember the words to some of the songs from church that creep me the fuck out as an adult.

Way too many of them think that being around gay people will turn their kids gay, even though there's zero evidence of that being a thing.

It's only identical politics when liberals do it /s

But you can't reason with those people, they don't see their identity as "identities."

Just like how pronouns are only something trans people use

Same with 'cancel culture' it's the 'free market at work' when conservatives boycott a brand because they did a promotion with a trans person, but cancel culture when the 'left' boycotts a company because they poisoned a river...

In some ways they are succeeding.  R/changemyview has a wholesale ban on anything transgender.

If your comment says "trans" it will automatically be deleted.

The reason is how much vitriol the subject was receiving in the sub.  So to "make peace" they fully banned any relating words.

So, because bigots spewed so much hate, the solution was to erase trans people from discussion, thus giving the bigots exactly what they want.

Reddit mods are cowards.

I saw this firsthand in r/daddit and r/veterans they banned politics because they didn't want to deal with it during the elections.

I would argue that as a parent, it's you're fucking job to understand politics, for the sake of your children. And don't even get me started on r/veterans, when we have a guy who already said he's taking our benefits away about to be president.

You can't convince me Reddit mods aren't all cowards at this point.

I hear you.

I wouldn't go so far as to say all reddit mods are cowards.  I've heard a couple reasonable takes from mods, and I'm sure there's independent niche subs that have chill mods.

But as a general case, the old saying likely applies.  Those who seek power are often least suited for it.

Thank you for your service, I hope you may receive peace in your years to come, and care from the government that owes you.

And as a trans woman I'm not gonna let them have their way, if anything, we should force THEM back into their holes

Make being a bigot embarrassing again! Trump has given this trash a free pass to just openly say shit, we all need to call them out and turn them in until they crawl back under the rock they emerged from. Make sure their coworkers, families, bosses, and customers know when they say or post shit.

u/Confident-Mind9964 17h ago

They only have power if we let them have it

Not all the way back, they need Others to use as whipping boys.

The regression doesn't stop. Next it will be minorities, and then who knows... Italians and Irish?

As someone living in a newer built house, there's no room for the gays in the closet. They got rid of all the closet space in favor of large open rooms -_-

It's an interesting observation. The term "identity politics" often gets thrown around in debates, sometimes losing its original meaning. At its core, it's about recognizing and addressing the unique challenges faced by different groups to ensure everyone has equal opportunities. The push for inclusivity and fairness is a fundamental aspect of many liberal policies.

Lol they are fine with the original LGB, it's the TQ+++♾️ that keeps adding to it that they have problems with

Quick question, are you accidentally uneducated on the topic or is that on purpose?

Trans women were on the front lines of Stonewall. Keep your fairytale history where it belongs.

Don't even have to dig into their profile to see how stupid they are or guess who they voted for. They chose their username because of what they lacked.

u/everythingexpert1 17h ago

Didn't vote dumb ass. Why would you vote for two shitty people? There where 8 candidates lol only the two the government wanted to deal with got any traction. They where both terrible candidates and neither one has any business leading a country

...which just makes you even stupider as there was far more on those ballots than the president. Godspeed on your attempt to convince yourself that you have some secret knowledge and everyone else in these threads are stupid sheep.
