You know what pisses off more than the TQ+ forcing themselves into everything? People that forcefully lump the LGB into the TQ+ against their will.

Hi Elise, I find your work very interesting. Would love to talk to you and LGB Alliance about participating in our Feminists In Struggle National Conference in San Diego area July 5th to 7th. Can you please contact me? Ann Menasche - aemenasche@gmail.com

Don't agree with "the nouveau-trans are mostly AGP, AAP, and straights who fetishize homosexuals". These are mostly young children, I think accusing this amount of young children as having only this agenda is reductionism. I don't believe in there "not being anything wrong besides sexual inappropriateness". Problems that are systemic don't become so "because all/most people are evil". I think cruelty and insensitivity are not the rule but the exception.

Even if AGP and AAP or fetishizing homosexuality serve as some sort of coping strategy for these people, they don't explain the underlying issues because of which this many children are reaching for these coping mechanisms in the first place.

I think no change will happen by blaming many for the mistakes of few, nor by demonizing the few as even they are human in the end.

I think the words AGP and AAP might be helpful though in more efficiently having a discussion.

I don't believe in "one community in which all gay people will ever feel to be represented". I think that's tunnel vision. I think the best way forward is for multiple communities that are on good terms with eachother, as well as tolerance for people who prefer to be independent representing only themself.

I have always maintained that "trans" is, inherently, a rejection of homosexuality.
