How We Got Where We Are. A Personal Observation. 1. After, homosexuality was decriminalised(1967 for UK, 1980 for Scotland & 1982 in N. Ireland), after decades of being arrested, beaten up, feared, loathed, truly marginalised, after HIV wretchedly & terrifyingly tore through the lives of so many, LGB people (same-sex attracted) gain gradual tolerance, then acceptance, & then equality. We enjoy a relatively peaceful 10-15 year period. 2. Then the Alphabet Soup inexorably limpets themselves to the LGB, despite having NOTHING to do with being same-sex attracted. Not better, not worse. Simply unrelated & different. 3. Said Alphabet Soup begins to tarnish any gains that have been made by disingenuous revisionism, extremist activism, fetishes performed in public & normalised, wages war on women & LGB people &, worst of all, actively involves & indoctrinates other people’s children. Thus creating huge resentment, & inviting an ever growing & dangerous backlash. 4. Homophobia massively increases. Alphabet group attempts to blame LGB & women, who become vocally critical of how this affects us all. They refuse to compromise or debate. Division & anger rises. Alphabet group continue to try to constantly control the narrative & demonises all those who object. People are dragged through the courts for years (almost always eventually vindicated) but the damage is immense. As usual, the process is the punishment. 5. Women’s rights & gay people’s freedoms to assemble as they choose are all under serious threat. Alphabet group continue to prioritise themselves over disabled, elderly & virtually every other vulnerable group, with zero self-awareness, encouraged by institutions, “allies”, celebrities & social media. 6. They gain huge power through sponsorship, social media, mainstream media, advertising, the education system, the government, lobby groups etc. Yet still claim they are the ‘most marginalised’, whilst being indulged & revered in almost every Western country there is. 7. Misogyny, which never went away, spirals out of control. Homophobia does not discriminate between the ideological zealots & others simply just attempting getting through day to day life. Transsexuals, who believe in biological reality & detransitioners, who were used as guinea pigs when very young, are also demonised & chastised. Women & girl’s private spaces, sports, clubs, privacy & dignity, are under siege. 8. The briefly peaceful atmosphere is now utterly torn apart, ripped to pieces by flimsy & highly suspect ideologies & a rampant loathing of women. Many of those who once supported us have now turned their backs. Many recognise the distinction between those who are simply LGB & the rest. But I fear, in time, the narcissism & the arrogance of this TikTok gender generation, who’ve been manipulated & lied to, will be our undoing. 9. Of course, I’ve not covered everything. The money Big Pharma reaps for lifetime medication, & surgical procedures, instantly affirming young people’s confusion & torment (all natural) & putting them on an irreversible course of ‘treatments’ & surgeries. “Allies” who support this movement without true comprehension of the consequences, or who simply follow blindly, because they choose to take a 4 years old child’s vivid imagination & word as gospel, because they have been taught that being called ‘non-binary’ involves extra attention & special privileges etc. etc etc. 10. This is where we are now. Uncomfortable truths are inconvenient, I realise. But this is exactly how we ended up where we are today. It’s bleak, I know. But we have no choice but to keep speaking up. We didn’t start this bonfire. But we remain bloody determined to watch it burn itself out. Please RT.

@DreyfusJames Can't disagree at all. I'm symapthic toward genda dysphoria. That's a real thing, and I'm fine with people doing what the hell they like as long as they don't force me to rip apart the English language and all they pity me Bollox and faux victimhood this new fashion is pushing .
@DreyfusJames One of the issues you’ve not touched on is “toxic affirmation” where people cocoon themselves inside a world where nothing is challenged, everything is affirmed without question, which simply breeds narcissism within a group already suffering from high levels of narcissism.
@DreyfusJames I hate that you have actually had to write about the rollercoaster ride about our rights as gay men from the 20th century into the 21st but I also love that there's someone who's far more eloquent than I am explaining the frustrations I also feel so well Mr Dreyfus.
@DreyfusJames A powerful piece but so sad you need to write it. Why can’t we just live and let live?
