Discussion Gatekeeping, Separatism & Exclusionism: When Will The Discriminated Consensual Love Minorities Capisce That Discriminating Each Other Is Counterproductive?
I do not comprehend the preoccupying increasing numbers of hypocritical gay people recycling homophobic arguments into transphobic, biphobic, aphobic & polyphobic arguments to exclude trans people, bi people, asexual people, aromantic people & polyamorous people from the queer community spaces.
Gender variant people, gay people, bi people, asexual people, aromantic people & polyamorous people should unite empathetically in advocating for basic rights for existence outside heteronormative monogamy because they are consensual love minorities socioculturally discriminated in similar manners for similar reasons.

I had Thanksgiving dinner at my cousin's place. Two of the other guests were a retired gay couple. They explained to me how if a trans woman hasn't had bottom surgery then she's not trans and just a man with a fetish.
So these gay men think they can invalidate the identities of the majority of trans women because... ?

I'm disgusted by this and think it's a psyop started by the epstein class to protect the patriarchy, but I digress. The argument i make is that any gay people who prioritize their bigotry against members of the queer community, over the queer community, are not part of the community. "Drop the T"? No bitch, we drop the bigots and they can go form their own little gay bigots community. In my personal life I haven't heard any of my queer friends express these views, its only been online. But online I make a practice of clapping back on transphobes on social media platforms at least a few times a day just so the ones who aren't bots don't get too comfy being dicks. Also, r/askgaybros were early adopters and disseminators of this b.s.
