Gay Was Good Enough

I believe that feminism has been watered down with an abundance of competing interests, and as a result of feminism's loss of potency, we are now going to see women lose reproductive rights. In addition, I believe the Gay movement has been watered down, and as with feminism losing political gains, the Gays are going to loose Gay Marriage in the USA. The supreme court does not have to respect impotent movements.

Feminism has always been first and foremost about establishing the rights of women. This is largely about protecting them from males who have access to them. That is primarily protecting women who can become pregnant against their will. Reproductive rights doesn't much apply to women who don't get pregnant. Feminism is primarily about "people who menstruate."

Feminism somehow began to mean women who never had any intention of having children (most lesbians) and women who never under any circumstances would get pregnant (transgender.) Along with these additions to feminism came a whole new vocabulary, the LGBT(F)QIA, even bordering on polyandry. This vocabulary divorced itself from mainstream use of words, such saying "trans girls are girls," when in reality mainstream society does not see "trans girls as girls." Whenever a movement's ability to project it's message is compromised, the strength of that movement is compromised. 

The low point of the movement was in 2015 and 2016. Two issues were blowing up at around this time:

1. After the scorched earth victory of the US Supreme Court declaring Gay Marriage to be the law of the land, the LBGT(F)QIA movement allowed themselves to get distracted by politics around who-can-use-what-public-restrooms. Feminism was completely blind to the fact that Hetero Males were already very uncomfortable using public restrooms, and instead of focusing on getting more single-toilet bathrooms established, allowed themselves to get dragged into a conversation about what bathrooms trans women (but somehow not trans men) should be allowed to use in public. This was a problem because again it muddled feminism's message, and continued to divorce their vocabulary from mainstream English. 
2. Trans women in sports started to create divisions within feminism. On one hand Feminism was supposed to protect people who menstruate from people who don't, and on the other hand Feminism had expanded its mission to protect everyone who identifies as a woman. To really appreciate WHY people want separate sports divisions for women and men, you must take heterosexual reproduction into consideration. In men's sports we can evaluate the fitness of men for carrying on genes forward into the next generation, as sports not only evaluate natural physical talent, but also both the natural mental ability to focus in short term emergent circumstances and long term work ethic focused on a singular goal. Why then female sports? BECAUSE EVERYONE HAS TWO PARENTS, you get your genes from you mom and your dad. This is why the general public can never be expected to accept trans women in women's sports, is it defeats the purpose for having female sports in the first place.

And in 2016 a presidential candidate famous for saying he just likes to "grab women by the pussy" was elected. He chose as his vice president the main culprit behind dragging feminism into the above mentioned bathroom trans politics. This president then spent the next 4 years of his life doing everything he possibly could to make sure people who menstruate would be forced to give birth against their will.

And the same mechanism being used to trample female reproductive rights, that supreme court, will trample gay marriage soon enough. But let's look a little closer at how the Gay movement was watered down itself. Looking at the letters, with each additional letter we see a weakening of the movement: G was the original for "Gay": men or women called gay had same-sex attraction, clear definition, solid, still exists today in the phrase "Gay Pride." L was for Lesbian, and here we see the Gay movement being conflated with feminist issues. B was for Bi, highly problematic for three reasons: 1) it falsely suggested that most Gay and Lesbian had absolutely zero opposite sex attraction in addition to their same sex attraction, 2) so-called Bi's had an easy time of passing as heterosexual in mainstream society and in so far as they ever were oppressed it was only for their Gayness, and 3) Bi's quickly became the problem children of the Gay and Lesbian movement as they developed a reputation for swinging and home wrecking, disrupting what domestic stability the Ls & Gs were able to establish. 

T for Trans? Trans isn't even a sexual attraction issue in the first place, it is a totally different issue, and is not relevant to the original issue of Gay: rights for people with same-sex attraction. Q is for questioning and is only there because of the stigma against Bis in the Gay community. I is for intersex which is a legitimate medical condition which could be grouped with Trans identity, but again not a sexual attraction issue. Asexual is by definition 100% irrelevant to same-sex attraction issues.

What has happened here is the Gay and Feminism movements allowed themselves to be diluted, primarily by being allowed to be driven together into a single vulnerable herd to be culled. In no way should the movement meant to protect people who menstruate be lumped into the same category as the movement meant to protect people with same sex attraction. This is a classic problem of what I call "Solidarity = Autonomy," where when groups fail to define themselves, the natural consequence is impotency.

The fearsome hydra that is Feminism + LGBT(F)QIA is now only bark with zero bite. Trump's supreme court is putting a quick end to it. Trump has put the movement to the wall and had his way with them, because they allowed their movement to be diluted and weakened to the point where it could no longer stand up for itself.
