A thread: Another day, and another entitled gay is trying to defend gender ideology, while taking a pop at a leading feminist while he's at it. The irony is strong in this one. He claims @AllianceLGB is linked to far right groups in America. There is zero evidence for this but..
2/ ...there's plenty of evidence that it's Nathan and his mates promoting gender baloney that are actually doing the Religious Right's bidding. And hilariously they don't even know they are. For decades the Religious Right in the US and here argued that gays ...
3./ ..were just very silly men and women with very silly ideas about being exclusively attracted to the same sex. Instead we should try a little harder and do our ethical duty and settle down with the opposite sex. It was this orthodoxy that for decades ..
4./ ..lesbians and gays fought against. We'd really only just achieved 'equal' recognition when an Alice in Wonderland notion spread like wildfire (fuelled by Queer Theory academics). This was idea that men could actually be female-...
5./ bodied and women could be male-bodied. This notion seemed so tolerant and 'woke' that almost everyone applauded. What a rich soup of gender confusion it seemed we'd created. But this notion comes with a huge homophobic cost attached for if men are women and women men...
6./ ..how does our original claim as lesbians and gays that we are exclusively attracted to the same sex hold water? If as a gay man I'm attracted to men and men can now be female-bodied as well as male-bodied does it make any sense to talk of a same sex attraction?..
7./ This new woke orthodoxy is actually just a version of the old Religious Right injunction....that gay men should learn to settle down with a girl or if you're a lesbian, you should at least consider trying out a nice lad. Now of course gender ideologues who buy into this ..
8./ ....reassure us that we can choose if gay men only to sleep with men who have male-bodies and lesbians only with women who have female-bodies but their tone is one of the sort of pity and reluctance that reeks of Anglican Church's attitude to its gay clergy. One favourite..
9./ trope is to ask "are you really saying you want to check genitals before you choose a partner?" No we've never said that. We're merely saying what we've said for decades: we choose partners based on their biological sex and that's valid. We fought for that and ...
10./ ..we're not giving it up. And isn't there also in this question about genitals a creepy accusatory contempt? It's the same attitude Religious Right still adopt towards us. They too say to us ..."mmmm do you have to be SO obsessed with actual genitals?" No it's YOU who are ..
11./ ... obsessed with what we do with our genitals and want to police it and control it. So now lesbians who say they will never sleep with male-bodied "women" are told they are transphobic and thrown off Gay Pride marches FFS. And even when we do choose our partners ...
12./ ..we're now being told we should examine our preferences for our unwitting transphobia. A classic in this bullying genre of contempt for lesbians and gays is this video by Riley J Dennis
13./ Denis tries to make it sound like their giving us freedom to choose but ends the video by effectively asking us...why wouldn't you sleep with an opposite sex person? Like the Religious Right before them their message now is, "What's so awful about it? What IS your problem?
15./ The "problem" is as it has always been...we are same sex attracted. And if you make definition of biological sex different so we have to feel under pressure to change our definition of our sexual orientation it's you who are embracing the Religious Right's arguments not us.
16./ And is this just a gay storm in a tea cup? A bitter internal argument between one camp of gays (so to speak) and another? Don't be fooled. If you're straight...this bullshit is coming your way too. The fruitloopy ideologues are testing out their gender baloney on us first.
17./ But if our orientation can be cancelled by the ruse of redefining biological sex so that it becomes meaningless then as night follows day...they'll soon be demanding of straight blokes, "WHY won't you sleep with a woman with a shlong?" And they'll be asking straight women..
18./ "How can you be so transphobic not to have sex with a transman?" After all, they're already drip feeding these ideas into your kids' minds in schools. The good news is in the long run they won't succeed because whether you're straight, gay or bisexual biological sex...
19./ is fundamental and it's real. Bad news is like Religious Right before them these gender warriors will inflict mental damage, self-loathing and confusion on many innocent people, in pursuit of a delusion as unscientific and irrational as anything religion ever came up with.
