A thought about the LGBT+ people who are trying to get the TQ+ part dropped:
(You'll have to pry it from my cold dead hands and even then I'm coming back to stop you but -)
Alan Turing was the man who created the machine that decoded the Nazi's code and shorted the war but maybe 2 years or more.
He's the grandfather of computing and was a gay man.
He admitted to being in a relationship with his boyfriend (don't listen to the movie w Benedict Cumberbatch that was a lie) in 1952 after he was reported for having sex in his own home and they arrested him and gave him a choice: take take chemicals that castrated him or go to jail.
He chose the chemical castration and 2 years later killed himself.
If this man couldn't have sex in his own home to another consenting adult just because said adult was the same gender as him, what makes you think you won't meet the same fate?
As soon as the conservatives and anti-minority people kill every out and loud queer person, they will kill anyone who's quiet about it too.
They don't want any queer people, they don't want any minorities, theyre happy to use you to spread their hate and propaganda and agender. And as soon as you're usefulness is over, they'll turn on you.
Theyre the party of jaguars that eat people's faces and just cuz they're eating the faces of people you hate, doesn't mean they won't eat yours as well.
Either learn about the roots of your community or shut the fuck up and leave.
Stonewall was started by a biracial butch lesbian, trans people have existed as long as gender has existed we just didn't have the word yet.
Pluto wasn't discovered til the 1930s but it sure as he'll existed before then. We just didn't have the ability to see it.
Now we can.
Just like how we didn't use to have all the language and labels we use today, doesn't mean it wasn't there it was just unnamed.
(Also if you're a terf that hasn't blocked me yet, block me now, if your liberated future doesn't include Everyone it's pathetic, useless, and just as bad as now.)
