"Rather, they’re coming from feminists and LGB activists who are tired of seeing their movements get hijacked by male narcissists demanding sexual access to lesbians, ghoulish clinicians eager to convince gay autistic girls that they’re actually 'straight' trans boys, and cynical progressives who dumped their feminist convictions in favour of what is effectively a men’s rights movement in 'intersectional' fishnet cosplay."
As a gay man in my late 60s who was a sissy boy in the late 50s and early 60s, I fear that many of today's sissies will not be permitted to develop normally into gay men if they happen to be born into a family of trans "allies" in a progressive state where public and private institutions promote gender identity ideology.
Gender fluidity may be admired in queer circles, but in many parts of the trans world traditional sexual stereotypes (in trans speak, gender stereotypes) serve as makers of a child's sex or, in the trans lexicon, gender. From an early age I was clearly gender nonconfoming. No snips and snails and puppy dogs' tails for me. I was sugar and spice and everything nice. I detested horseplay and had no interest in chasing balls around like a frenzied pup. Thought I never thought of myself as anything other than a boy, I threw away my cap guns and loved playing with my Barbie doll.
Today that would be enough to get an unfortunate proto-gay sissy classified as a girl, put into a dress and set on the path to social transition. In blue states most public schools make a conspicuous show of their support for "LGBT" kids, but I fear that schools and other "affirming" institutions have been so thoroughly captured by gender identity ideology that they haven't developed separate policies, procedures and materials specifically for same-sex attracted youth.
