There were gay Nazis
‘Bad Gays’ by Huw Lemmey and Ben Miller. Weimar-era Germany had LGBTQ society and culture and an early movement for LGBTQ legal rights. Of course, that was lost. And some of the Nazis were gay.

More shameful nonsense from ‘Gay Shame’
Regarding trans people, Gareth Roberts asks: ‘Who exactly invited the vampire in’? A continuation of my criticism of the ‘sex-realist’ aka ‘gender-critical’ aka transphobic book ‘Gay Shame’ by Gareth Roberts, published in April 2024.

Gareth Roberts says accepting trans people is ‘Gay Shame’
Yet another LGB-minus-T ‘sex realist’ book hits the shelves. Roberts won’t engage the academic work or mere existence of any trans people. He name-drops a couple, but we’re all either airheads or criminals to him.

121 things I want cis men to stop doing
Conveniently, all of them are sentences in the same article by the same cis man. Cis men’s name is Andrew Sullivan and I want them to stop doing what he did in his April 9, 2021 article on Substack. This is not Star Wars.

Yet another pro-discrimination argument
Always follow the typos. They reveal what editors aren’t researching. Why does a national newspaper pay a columnist for a 2,800-word anti-transgender opinion essay? More mysteriously: If there’s a typo, what does it imply?

Are we saving civilization yet? Brad Wilcox’s February 2024 book, ‘Get Married: Why Americans Must Defy the Elites, Forge Strong Families, and Save Civilization.’

These aren’t innocent questions. It’s an anti-trans agenda.
‘Gender-criticalism’ is linked to right-wing agendas. Today ‘the religious and neo-fascist right,’ with so-called gender-criticals, ‘believe the optimum number of trans people is zero,’ Brynn Tannehill says.

‘Gender-critical’ ideology is just dualism
The ‘GC’ worldview is a split between good and evil, physical and mental. It incredibly claims to vaporize all gender roles despite working to uphold gender. It focuses on what people can or can’t be, do, or have due to their sex.

The Gelflings are trans
And trans people are Gelflings. ‘Now, we leave you the Crystal of Truth,’ the Beings tell the Gelflings who are no longer Gelflings — because they are finally being left alone.

‘Red flags’ in queer dating aren’t the problem
What we compromise on lies beyond the red flag. A ‘red flag’ is a difference that alarms or confuses you. Though the flag itself isn’t a conflict, it may lead you to suspect your date isn’t a good match.

Empathy for cis people
Trans people have it because we don’t live in a trans bubble. My jaw hit the floor. I picked it up and put it back in. It fell out again. It rolled under the sofa and I have spent the last two weeks looking for it.

‘At any age’: Trump doesn’t want trans people
How Trump will oppress trans people if reelected in 2024. Trump’s influence on the GOP continues to have nightmarish effects for trans and queer people. If he is given power again, we know exactly what he’ll do.
