To say that things like tranny library hour or public gay pride parades and all that bullshit don't negatively affect children and young adults is to claim that culture and education has no practical effect at all. This is clearly false.
Yeah, what I was saying is that we didn't have those things when I was growing up, and I grew up in a town with a massive LGBT (mostly lesbian) population. Yet there was nothing crazy going on, no parades or drag shows, nobody dressed like a clown screeching "accept meeee". Nothing. Just a bunch of gay folk and a bunch of straight folk getting along fine and even the republicans were accepted members of the community, even with the war being deeply unpopular there circa 2005-7. Nobody was judging anybody or banning them from "spaces" due to their political views.
Whole point was that things were fine between people of different backgrounds, on an interpersonal level, and now they're not fine. All this crazy bullshit has really set the public perception of the "normal gay guy" back a few decades and I think it's a matter of time before the G's and the L's start really resenting the wokes and the T's, if they haven't already.
Schools and "sex educators" going after little kids was quite clearly the big red line that got crossed. There's been a humongous spike in 5 year olds identifying as non-binary or another gender, and wokesters pat themselves on the back about this like "finally! they can feel accepted for who they are!" despite the fact that they're the ones putting the ideas in the heads of ultra-impressionable kids.
I'm always explaining to Libs that everything going on now is a
reaction to something. Trans people losing rights? Maybe the previous administration shouldn't have gotten so fucking stupid with putting men into women's prisons and women's sports. Personally I care a lot more about the prison thing, since a lot of rapes have resulted from these practices. Sports are more visible though and I wonder how many other people's blood fuckin' boiled seeing a male boxer knocking out women at the Olympics.
