This really breaks my heart. In 1988, At 17 I was volunteering for the Cub Scouts and first told my parents I was gay.
They persuaded me to leave as if parents found out I was gay they’d fear for their kids safety.
I’ve lived through people thinking gays were paedophiles.
It has taken decades for #LGB people to break the link in public minds that Gay = Paedophile and root PIE out of the #LGB movement and here we have these irresponsible nut jobs bringing it back in.
No! Not in my name!

Queer theory is damaging and repulsive and needs stopped.
Stop queering kids.
Stop telling kids they were born in the wrong body.
Stop mutilating confused kids who will likely grow up gay if left alone.
Stop trying to normalise paedophilia.
Don’t use ‘Queer’ - you’re aiding the subversion by normalising the word.

@NicolaSturgeon At every opportunity, over the 4 years I've been watching this issue, you have refused to acknowledge that Men might lie about being Trans.
You now personally feel under scrutiny and worry your power is being threatened. It's disgusting. @ForWomenScot
You whipped your party to pass the GRR bill. You voted down every single damn amendment that would have stopped rapists, convicted sex offenders and convicts using Trans status to evade police by changing their identity, or using a GRC to access victims. You did that. You.
You were told, directly and publicly by @ForWomenScot , @legalfeminist and @mbmpolicy in written evidence and committee statements, of the danger of predatory men lying about being trans, to get access to victims and rape and abuse them. You dismissed their concerns, publicly.

The tragedy of AIDS/HIV; it killed huge swathes of Gay & Bi men who grew up *just* as homophobia was lessening.
They would have been amazing mentors and teachers of truth & history to the #LGB now vulnerable to gender ideology and the Queer lies & poisoning of our history.
Every time I see a trans activist lie that Trans people were integral to gay equality and liberation ... Every time I see people try to define homosexuality as same gender attraction ... every time I see the lie that you are bigoted for not dating transwomen I seeth with rage
Trans rights activists and queer theorists are deliberately trying to erase homosexuality. First they attacked Lesbians and invaded Lesbian bars and clubs, driving them back in the closet and underground.
Then it was Women & single sex spaces & services.

🧵 Watching this live. Noteworthy that @victor_madrigal has backed off the assertion that international human rights law mandates a system of self-identification of gender. What it mandates is a system of gender recognition.
What he seems to be focusing on is the need not to discriminate against trans people about which I hope we can all agree. However the bill is not confined to trans people it allows anyone to identify as the opposite sex with next to no safeguards.
Also excellent to hear him say that he respects the difference between his mandate and that of @UNSRVAW & that her mandate on violence against women & girls must be respected.

I am more than delighted that my paper "German gays go green? Voting behaviour of lesbians, gays, and bisexuals in the 2021 German federal election” has now been published in Electoral Studies @ElectoralStdies. #LGB #LGBTQ #GermanPolitics @QueerSeminar

While it has been argued that LGB individuals vote for parties of the political left as they represent most of the core values that are meaningful to LGBs, we were mainly relying on assumptions that it is the case. This paper now provides some more evidence.
First, data from Aug 2021 show that - similar to studies from the US, UK & Canada - an affinity of LGB individuals for left-wing parties also exists in Germany. The German Greens & Left in particular disproportionately benefit. CDU/CSU & SPD are underrepresented. What mechanisms

So apparently the BBC is anti trans now.
According to one poster with flags (means one is a good person) in bio.
Have you been under a rock?

The BBC only pulled out of Stonewall last year after years of captured and bias reporting.

Our statement on the inclusion on the @globalextremism report: (1/18)
Of course, @globalextremism has misrepresented us, and probably intentionally. LGB Alliance Australia, and every other LGB Alliance group around the world, formed to represent the interests of lesbians, gay men, and bisexuals. That’s all. (2/18)
That’s not hateful, or extreme, and it’s certainly not “far right”. It isn’t hate speech to want to have a conversation about sex-based rights. (3/18)

@Sarah_Alice_X Let me explain in my terms.
We Gay men, Lesbians and Bisexuals campaigned for equality when you could be fired for being gay, evicted for being gay, shunned by your family for being gay, assaulted or murdered for being gay & very few people gave a fuck 1/
All we wanted was equal rights: employment protection, housing safety, to be able to walk down the street without being attacked, ability to marry who we love and simple respect from wider society. We gained that for the whole #LGBT community be peaceful campaigning 2/
We chained ourselves to railings, wrote to MPs, described the harms #LGB people faced calmly, whilst remaining steadfast in our own identity as Lesbians, Gay men and Bisexuals. We helped people realise we were no danger. We weren’t paedophiles, we weren’t AIDS spreaders /3

Falls ihr es noch nicht wisst:

Habe gerade den Beitrag gesehen. Das Format ist ja auf Geschwindigkeit ausgelegt, aber @detrans_de hat wunderbar transportiert, wo die Probleme mit #Selbstbestimmungsgesetz und #detrans liegen 💜

Danke auch, dass du dich gegen Herrn Frank behauptet hast von wegen "leises Thema"!
Solche Statements brauchen wir öfter. Bisher wird ja fast ausschließlich die bunte, heile Welt des Transitionierens beschrieben...

Seit Juni ist #nodebate Geschichte.

Auch dafür danke ich allen, die NICHT die Klappe halten, sondern mutig informieren und Fragen stellen 💜

#DykeMarchHamburg gab mir d Eindruck, viele junge Menschen beneiden ältere #LGB um d Erfahrung, uns erfolgreich gg Unterdrückung gewehrt zu haben. In D gibt es nun aber keine echte Unterdr mehr, wir sind gleichgestellt. Auch "Transpersonen" haben nicht weniger Rechte als andere.
Ein Befreiungskampf kann unheimlich sinnstiftend sein. Wo aber keine Unterdrückung, wo keine Feinde, da kein Befreiungskampf. Was tun? Ein neuer Feind muss her.
Es war verstörend, wie oft man mir "Menschenfeind" oder "ekelhaft" oder "geh bitte weg!" zurief, aber immer wenn ich sagte "erklär's mir bitte", ließ man mich stehen. Es war eine Gruppendynamik in Gange, die man sonst nur von Sekten oder totalitären Bewegungen kennt.

this regards @jimmy_dore´s recent commentary on a particular @postmates commercial. 🫤

the ad perpetuates the ignorant fallacy & profoundly damaging myth that "sεχ between men = αηαl s∈× & αηαl s∈× = sεχ between men";

 1/📜
that an act most folks (male, female, LGB and hetero among us) find inherently off-putting is a necessary or predominant or inordinately prevalent component of sεχ between men.

A statement about #DontSayGay (a thread).

The legislation in Florida known as the "Don't Say Gay" bill is not really about same-sex orientation or same-sex rights. The bill aims to ensure schools will not be permitted to discuss "sexual orientation or gender identity" (1/7)
below the third grade level. Since sex ed or sexuality in general is not currently discussed in these younger grades, the bill itself does not affect same-sex rights in schools; rather, it is clear this bill is primarily designed to prevent schools from (2/7)

@JoeBiden @WhiteHouse have caused tens of thousands of healthcare workers to be FIRED or forced to quit because of your mandates, causing critical shortages in the healthcare industry, especially nurses! We are short doctors, EMT’s, firefighters, police, truckers!
This is ALL because of your mandates! YOU caused a shortage of workers by paying them to stay home, now you have caused millions to leave the workforce! YOU caused the supply chain problem! We didn’t have one before you were President! YOU
Shut down our pipeline & stopped drilling & fracking on federal lands causing oil & gas to skyrocket! Then beg our enemies for oil! YOU gave our enemy their pipeline & now want to go to war with them! All because your donors wanted the Russian pipeline not the keystone!

‘Do right and fear no one.’ @BluskyeAllison addresses #LGBAlliance2021 about the importance of protecting #LGB rights as well as Trans rights & #FreeSpeech
It’s an outrage that in 2021 we should require security to meet as Lesbian, Gay & Bisexual people to discuss our rights #LGBAlliance2021
Our rights are not conditional on us supporting gender identity theory #LGBAlliance2021

The effort at anathematising @ALLIANCELGB by claiming that it "does not represent L, G or B people in no way shape or form" betrays a confusion that underpins a lot of the totalitarian moralism from some in this debate - and there is a debate. (1/14)
Beneath that is an overuse of the term "community" to the point where it means little and obscures a lot {banking, landlord and spying communities, anyone?}. The #LGB Alliance emerged precisely because a large number of people, including some Stonewall founders... (2/14)
tried to win an actually broader, more "representative" approach from that charity and not to lose focus upon the rights of same-sex attracted people. Stonewall refused, so an organisation was founded "representing" the spurned point of view and campaigning priorities. (3/14)

1) Since 2013, I´ve been talking to all kind of ppl about "transition" of kids, including their parents. The most important reason for the existance of "No Corpo Certo" ("In the right body") is sharing with them things that "gender" doctors and activists do not share with them.
2) Collateral effects, other approaches, History of "trans" medicine", profits, lobby tatics, the points of view of "non-affirming" parents, of detransitioners, articles of truly compassionate professionals...
3) There is a plethora of things they do not know, even when they are very well informed, even when they did all the research they think they did. Unfortunately, even Google is cheating them. And one of the things they seem to forget is pretty obvious, is that...

Sobre #17demaio , #homofobia e #lgbtfobia

1) Gente. Enquanto vocês não #dropTheT, enquanto não entenderem que LGB é uma coisa e T é outra, o direito à orientação SEXUal continuará sendo apropriado para empurrar negacionismo do sexo. Falar #LGBT é como falar #VeganoCarnívoro.
2) 17 de maio é o dia em que a homoSEXUalidade deixou de ser patologizada, de ser vista como uma doença e de ser tratada como uma doença. Esse dia é unicamente dos #LGB (e eles têm organizações próprias, como @frentelgb , @GayAntiQueer , @GetTheLOutUK e @ALLIANCELGB .
3) Transgenerismo ("identidade de gênero") é uma ideologia PATOLOGIZADORA, ainda que muitos dos que se declaram "trans" não tenham diagnóstico nem queiram mudar seus corpos (sejam simples cross-dressers).Porque com base na ideia de "identidade de gênero") pessoas saudáveis (cont)

Stonewall are relaunching “School & College Champions Awards”.

Schools must must refer to latest @educationgovuk guidance & their #safeguarding knowledge & not sign up.

“The awards cut across every aspect of the operation of the school...advising teachers to “introduce yourself at the start of the year using your pronouns and encourage students to do the same.”

This is compelled speech. #Teachers contact your unions.

‘in her evidence to @Commonswomequ
earlier this week Stonewall CEO @Nancy_M_K claimed: “one of the things that’s really important to say is that we don’t advocate for the removal of the single sex exemptions.” ‘

This is untrue.
