News for 10/18/2021
So I am going to start a Gay centric newsletter. I don’t know if it will be weekly or every other week. Last week I gave a presentation at a history conference and so with that behind me, I can devote more time to reporting from a Gay centric view point. The newsletters are dated YYYYMMDD.
OVER FOCUS ON TRANS — NEW ORGANIZATIONS:
I notice that there has been organizing against trans excesses in the Lesbian and Gay community.
In Britain there is:
https://lesbianandgaynews.com/
In the United States there is The New Gay Liberation Front:
I think it is important that there are new independent media that won’t be going along with every trans claim and pushing back. And at least they are doing something. So I am going to be supportive and have made their existence known on the Internet.
However, I have some concerns. They seemed to be focused only on fighting trans excesses and not looking at the preconditions leading up to the situation where transmen can complain about the Gay community that we don’t want sex with them and can appropriate our spaces. They aren’t working on other repressive agendas and rejecting the neoliberal management of desire. [See the essays.]
I am also concerned with Initialism (LGBTQXYZ+), respectablity Gays, assimilationism, Alphabet Soup scolds (people who condemn gays engaging in dieting and body building or having fun in general), and building and supporting Gay identity.
I am thinking that it is odd that the two major trans attacks on Lil Nas X has been ignored by these new groups. Lil Nas X is extremely popular with the Gay community and I think that attacks on him would go a long way discrediting trans extremism. It should be noteworthy that the regular Alphabet Soup (Out, LGBTQNation, Advocate, etc. media avoided the story entirely though usually Gay celebrities get a lot of coverage in the Alphabet Soup media. (Alphabet Soup is what I call the LGBTQXYZ+). Perhaps being respectability Gays they don’t want to mention Lil Nas X. Also, I think it the trans attacks on Lil Nas X were known, the whole trans agenda might get a severe back lash in the Lesbian and Gay community so the regular Alphabet Soup media are sweeping it under the rug.
What I am suspecting is that we are looking at one neoliberal faction fighting with another neoliberal faction and it is over some particulars of policy regarding trans. They just have different agendas. They want to have a different repressive policy than the current dominate faction.
I DON’T KNOW actually, but just have a feeling.
One person running the LGB Alliance website against trans excesses also wanted to ban drag queens from the Pride parades like the trans.
What we will have to do is wait and observe, but we have to remember that we have a broader agenda anf a different agenda. Allies are great, but we need to understand we have a seperate agenda.
LGBTQIAP+ IS OFTEN REALLY TQIAP+
I am noticing that there are claims that something is an attack on the LGBTQ+ but it isn’t really an attack on Lesbians or Gays. We are being dragged along into a conflict and used for some agenda item. Also, publications, forums, groups which claim to be LGBTQ+ often suppress Lesbian and Gay voices and really aren’t for Lesbians and Gays. They appropriate the Lesbian and Gay community for their agenda.
Further LGBTQIAP+ is a conceptualization allowing appropriation of the Lesbian and Gay community institutions and is a means whereby persons who aren’t Lesbian or Gay dictate to the Lesbian and Gay community police, under the guise of saying what the LGBTQ+ should or should not be. An example, in the banning of drag queens, it was transgender extremists who were dictating to Gays what their culture should be and it was under the guise of initialism, that is LGBTQ+ slopping together of identities, in which they could claim to be speaking within a community defining what LGBTQ+ should be, including Gays, rather than some trans activists dictating to another community, Gays, what their community should be.
TRANSRACIALISM
I don’t know what shows the transgender ideology excesses than transracialism. Also, it is something that is really, really offensive to minorities.
I don’t know why this isn’t being brought up by the groups fighting transgender excesses. I think it is because these new groups are so narrowly immediately focused on trans issues and don’t take a broader perspective. Just speculating though.
ATTACKS ON LIL NAS X BY TRANS
It seems to have stopped. Though there does seem to be some low level discussion on twitter. Mostly people who think the trans attacks on Lil Nas X are stupid.
GAY CENTRIC THINKING
I am advocating about an agenda created by Gays for Gays focused on the interests of Gay people.
This also involved building Gay centric culture.
I have four core essays so far. I am trying to think what the fifth essay is.
RESISTANCE — WHAT TO DO
So there has been a hijacking of the Lesbian and Gay community for the neoliberal agenda. What do we do? How do we resist?
Beyond withdrawing participation and financial support I haven’t really developed ideas for an agenda.
I propose these three agenda items:
Understand what is happening and how we got to this current situation. Without that we are just thrashing around and so just reacting to the latest trans excess. Build up a base of understanding as a counter to the neoliberal agenda.
Organize. Get the persons dissenting networked together. Get independent media started. Get new organizations formed.
Withhold support: Stop participating and financially supporting the neoliberal media.
I don’t think these three activities are enough to turn the situation around, however, getting #1 and #2 done is enough to keep us fully occupied for now and the additional actions needed will become clear while we do #1 and #2.
SUPPORT FOR RESISTANCE AGAINST TRANS EXTREMISM.
Notice I always use the words “trans extremism.” A lot of trans people are against these excesses of a certain fraction of trans.
I think as more and more situations where a Gay man is essentially catfished by a transman there will be more and more interest in pushing against against the excesses of the trans agenda.
A person takes a lot of effort to look nice and meet up someplace and then only into the conversation they find out that the person they are talking to was a transman. They will feel that they should have been informed upfront, the transman will give them a lecture and then grip loudly and publically. That will leave a lasting impression which will be communicated to the Gay man’s friends. The Gay man will also find that the Alphabet Soup will want to condemn him even though he is the victim.
There will be trans excesses like the attack on Lil Nas X.
There will be loud public attacks on the sexuality of Gay men.
Finally, the attempts to ban drag queens won’t endear trans extremists with the general gay public and certainly not with drag queens.
DREAMGENDER TWITTER ACCOUNT IS BANNED
I thought it was a perfect send up of made up sexualities and gender theory, but I see that their Twitter account has been banned. That is why I ask that people sign up or link to this Substack account and why I make sure I have accounts on multiple platforms.
https://twitter.com/DreamGenderTwt
The reddit account is still there.
https://www.reddit.com/r/dreamgender/
I don’t know what the agenda of this person is, whether is is a person who is deciding that some of the invented identies are nonsense or a person with an anti-Gay agenda so I am watching it, but not getting too close.
ORGANIZING THE SITE:
I am getting the site organized in such a way that it can be a resource site. So expect some items where I am just creating a space for a topic.
CENSORED MEDIUM MATERIAL:
I want to get a lot of the censored medium material back online, but I don’t want to cut and paste, but instead review it.
TAIWAN
Gay and Lesbian rights are flourishing in Taiwan whereas in mainland China there is a real crackdown on the Gay rights movement and mounting repression.
At the same time Mainland China is threatening Taiwan. If they take over Taiwan the Lesbian and Gay movement there will be crushed and the Chinese Lesbian and Gay movement snuffed out.
Even if Taiwan isn’t invaded, a campaign of intimidation of Taiwan might involve a cultural program which would press Taiwan to repress Lesbian and Gays.
The American leftist movement is mindlessly and reflexively condemning American efforts to secure Taiwan.
The Alphabet Soup hasn’t taken notice of what has happened. This is somewhat due to the fact Americans are parochial in their thinking. Another reason is that the leftists in the Alphabet Soup are likely going to position themselves against support for Taiwan so the Alphabet Soup isn’t saying anything.
There is a lot that can be done for support Taiwan globally that could be done by about five Lesbian and Gay activists involved.
One thing is that there is a global cultural phenomenon known as BL “boys love” which in East Asian English language just means same-sex love. Chinese language BL movies got stopped in mainland China and now they are just made in Taiwan. I am alerting BL movie fans about this. Also, if the mainland shuts down Taiwan they will likely apply pressure elsewhere to shut down BL in Korea, Japan, Laos, Thailand and even maybe the Philippines. This is the link to the Facebook group.
