Gay hating "radical" feminists and Lesbians. Hard work being done by Kurtis Tripp.
KURTIS TRIPP, ACTIVIST AGAINST TRANS AGGRESSIONS
This is his Substack. I recommend to get at least the free subscription.
The following link is to one of his recent articles about how vicious anti-Gay homophobic attitudes by some feminists and Lesbians prevent a united front against trans aggressions. It shows a lot of work that he has done in researching this. I think he is a valued asset.
Tripp is correct that these homophobic attitudes prevent forming a coalition of Lesbians and Gays against trans extremism. However, I don’t believe that pointing this out, that these expressed homophobic attitudes prevent an effective coalition is going to get these anti-Gay attitudes to change.
They want to attack Gay men and post all sorts of things as a recreational self-indulgence. They also think that the future belongs to them and so there won’t be any consequences for these vicious attacks.
I don’t think these “radical” feminists and Lesbians realize that they created the very type of method of censorious discourse which is shutting them down.
I think that Tripp’s work shows that political organizing should be separate between Lesbians and Gays. There will be many cases when they should work together, but it should be an alliance for a specific issue and if possible, for a specific time. There are differences in priorities and interests and trying to have them contained in one organization is a built in conflict over priorities.
Tripp founded the Lesbian and Gay Liberation Front which has a Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/lglfusa
Originally it was the Gay Liberation Front, then changed to the Lesbian & Gay Liberation front. That is the first step toward initialism. As Tripp collides with Gay hating feminists and Lesbians, we will see how this works out. Though this is valid as a coalition for a specific issue of dealing with trans extremism. I think coalitions are fine. However, organizing on a basis that we are all essentially the same I don’t believe works. If the intention is narrowly for fighting trans extremism I think it is valid. If it is for a new movement, I think it will run into the same problems as the first time when Gay was replaced by Lesbian and Gay. If it is believed that it needs to be Lesbian and Gay because they are two different interest groups, then it should be two groups that work together on some issues.
However, they are working hard on a worthy goal, and so don’t reject them on this one point of analysis.
However, I was attacked at the Lesbian and Gay Liberation Front Facebook page when I compared Gender theory to the infamous Recovered Memory pseudoscience as being a person sympathetic to rape by Lesbians. It also wasn’t well received when I pointed out that caution needs to be taken when right wing media publishes gender critical material. So I have left the page.
Tripp does a lot of work and research and I think the Substack is a good resource for information. However, his focus is internal to the debate about trans issues, which isn’t bad, it probably needs full time attention, but there isn’t a focus as to the context as to why there is a trans debate in the first place. That is, how did trans ideology gain hegemony in the first place?
For Tripp the problem is just that some elements of the current dominant ideology of the Alphabet Soup are wrong.
AGAIN, subscribe to his Substack as an information source.

Added it into the collection of Trans Excess on YouTube.
MY BOOK PROJECT
Not much progress on it. I was tied up working on other projects all week, and I will be fairly busy for about half of next week. I am going to get to it.
OMICRON VARIANT COVID AND EVANGELICAL CHRISTIANS
I have been tracking the impact of COVID at this page. Anti-Gay leaders are dying all over the place. It is mostly links to how anti-Gay anti-Vax Christians are dying. If you are curious about this you might want to join.

As a scientifically educated person, I have a M.S., I have been following the news on omicron covid. I think that it very well might be a huge tsunami of cases coming sometime soon.
If you haven’t already, now would be a good time to get your booster. It is going to take two weeks to have full effect, but you will start getting some benefit in a few days You don’t have a moment to lose. Also, I would make sure your pantry and refrigerator is stocked up. For food to be on store shelves there has to be enough non-sick truck drives, non-sick gas station attendants, non-sick shelf stockers, etc. to get the groceries there. On the other hand maybe I am over reacting. The omicron covid spread very fast and it could be that in a couple of weeks we get as many cases as the last 12 months or more.
