As the acceptance rate of LGB people decreases, so does the likelihood of LGB people in countries where it's illegal gaining rights. Likewise, the likelihood of those of us in more accepting countries losing our rights increases. Transgender ideology and other ideologies which have risen to compete with it are flawed and don't have our interests at heart. Our organizations have been infiltrated and taken over.
My specific goal is to go back to the heart of the gay civil rights movement: the understanding that a person's "gender" (masculinity/femininity) doesn't have to match their sex; not adhering to gender expectations is okay.
I appreciate s/LGBDropTheT for bringing some awareness to the subject, but we're going to need more than a censorious meme farm to keep us afloat.
We don't have the numbers, so we need allies. We need to tailor our arguments to appeal to different groups.
Gay marriage passed because we made it a wedge issue between theists and atheists. Atheists were our allies then. Our argument was that religion shouldn't affect laws. It's an effective argument. I've seen the framing of transgender ideology as a religion, and I think that might be helpful, but it's a difficult angle because by definition, religions require a deity, which transgender ideology does not have.
What other groups do we target? What other strategies might work?
