Lesbians Like Me Joined Forces with Conservatives. Now They’re Turning on Us. - Lemmy.World

> When the “woke” mania swept the country in 2020, I took a step back and reevaluated where I stood and why I stood there. To my surprise, I found that I agreed with conservatives and libertarians on a number of issues. I opposed childhood gender transitions, unlawful and divisive DEI mandates, and the excesses of Critical Race Theory. I argued against biological males competing in women’s sports and being housed in women’s prisons. I did so loudly and publicly, losing many friends along the way. > Today, some of those same attorneys I worked with are advocating for my right to marry my fiancée to be stripped away. I fell for obvious right-wing propaganda and rationalized the hate with reason and logic. Now the hate machine is coming for me and that’s not fair!

As a 29-year-old lesbian engaged to be married, this turn of events is personal for me. And it may be one I helped contribute to.

No. You absolutey and whole-heartedly helped contribute to it.

I worked toward what I believed — and still believe — to be true. I still oppose radical gender ideology and Critical Race Theory in schools. I still believe that biological males shouldn’t compete in women’s sports or be housed in women’s prisons. But I will not stand by while LGBT rights are legislated away.

Human Rights belong to all humans, you racist TERF.

Reid Newton, from the bottom of my heart: I hope your life goes as well as you treat trans people.
