You know when I found out about “trans lesbians” and “gay trans men”, I immediately came to the conclusion that straight people were appropriating our identities, history and struggles. When I heard the “sex is a spectrum/social construct” crowd I understood immediately that...
...my homosexuality was being erased. That is why, for the life of me, I couldn’t understand why so many gay men are onboard with trans ideology without question. I mean if you just put two and two together one would think gay men have at least something to lose from all of this.
There is the blatant misogyny, of course, that is clouding the judgement of these men and that should be front and foremost, but it still doesn’t explain why gay men don’t see the danger in portraying homosexuality as a genital fetish, insisting we should check for...
...”the prejudices that inform our preferences” and that we are transphobic for rejecting trans people because they are of the opposite sex. All this is very much a conversion therapy narrative coming from certain sectors of trans activism. Why are gay men being oblivious?
By looking at which gay men support trans ideology and which don’t I can pretty much get an idea of why. The gay men who support trans ideology are mostly upperclass, wealthy, white, older, and are in LGBT activism. Working class gay men, gay men of color like myself, gay men...
...in homophobic societies, non-activist gay men, and younger gay men just coming to terms with their sexuality are the ones against because we stand to lose more from this. The former are economically and socially shielded from any fallout that might arise from this...
...ideology. The latter isn’t. Of course, there is also the conservative/liberal divide where conservative gay men are more prone to not support trans ideology compared to liberal gay men. But this is a given, because most conservatives disagree with trans ideology, gay or...
...straight. And of course, gay men on the right can be anti-feminist, anti-socialist and even anti-LGB rights because it’s left-leaning history. So making alliances with them doesn’t come easy. If I and others are looking to get more gay men on board to counter trans...
...we need to look at gay men who are still dealing with homophobia as well as issues other than just their sexual orientation, like racism and poverty. We need to look at the average gay joe living in the country and not the hipster gay living the city. We need to look at...
...black, Latino, Asian, Native American gay men. We need to do outreach to conservative gay men even if we disagree politically on a lot of things. And we need to stop wasting our time with opportunistic gay activists. They already sold themselves to Devil ages ago.

BTW, I put this blurb out to the gay men that follow me, because I think they should be reaching out to other gay men like this. I’m trying down here, but it’s hard because many are not aware of AGP transsexualism and it’s a difficult concept for many to understand.
