I really am getting to the point that I think a lot of minors who are diving into LGBT discourse and making assertions about history, identities, labels, etc. aren't helping and they should kind of stop and listen to people who have been at this for awhile.

I don't mean to not have opinions or get involved, but rather I mean before making factual assertions about these things learn the histories associated with them. Not even having to agree with everyone else, just learn about the history please this is harming the community

I don't want to ostracize, harass, pile-on, or otherwise direct any kind of punitive action against anyone, I just need this destructive "You're either with us or we'll destroy your life" pattern of behavior to end.

I realize not everyone involved are minors, and I'm not happy about them either, but a lot of minors have been kicking off discourse about say "bi lesbians" and directing harassment at those who do not comply over the past couple years.

I don't even mean everyone has to get along. No one's making anyone quote tweet anyone else, screencap their tweets, or seek people out to harass. People could just choose to not do that and find other ways to spend their time.

And "elders" still exist. I know it's popular discourse about how all the elders are gone because of AIDS but it's been a few decades since the worst of that. The issue isn't a lack of guidance. The issue is some people treat LGBT rights like they're a game of mad libs.
