Serious threat to the availability of an mRNA HIV vaccine and others
Incidentally, I still come across anti-vaxxer Gays. Gays need to consider that anti-vaxxer Gays are more likely to give you Hepatitis A & B since they have refused to get that vaccine. They are more likely to give you other diseases since they aren’t vaccinated.
When an mRNA HIV vaccine and a mRNA Herpes vaccine comes out they will have refused that vaccine also.
There is always the possibility of a breakthrough infection. Vaccines reduce risk, but not entirely. They might be 70%, or 80% or higher percentage effectiveness, but they aren’t 100%. The elimination of diseases has relied on herd immunity. That is enough people have gotten vaccinated that the disease becomes extinct. With the rise of anti-vaxxer nonsense we no longer are getting herd immunity. If we want HIV be extinct in the Gay community we really need to get vaccination rates up as high as possible.
Thirty percent of persons starting to transition quit.
Detransitioning isn’t rare. This study was limited to four years. We can expect some people to discontinue in 5 years, 6 years, etc. Also, there would be a percentage of individuals who felt they had come so far, but that there is no turning back, that is they didn’t detransition, but they aren’t happy with their choice either.
Trans ideologues have said that detransition was rare to obscure the lack of necessary caution in committing individuals to transitioning. That is the current lack of ability to definitively know whether an individual should transition. I think in the coming years we are going to hear from many individuals that were pushed into transitioning while under age bitterly complaining.

Bolu Okupe on LGBT rights in Africa
He is an Anglo-Nigerian Gay person and has a fairly good TV channel. I have reached out to him. Subscribe to his channel.
Vice News which pushed transmen onto Gay men is filing for bankruptcy.

Whether it is Chapter 7 which means it is being liquidated or Chapter 11, which means they will have a plan to survive, but creditors will take a hit, wasn’t mentioned.
In this article, the victimizer plays the victim. Not upfront about who he is, then surprised when people ghost him. No one likes deception, and straight women want a WHOLE man.

This article fails to understand the concept of informed consent.

The above article has condescending statements about Gays like the following:
Admittedly, it can be reassuring to find gay guys who aren’t vagina-phobic, or obsessed with a concept of “real men” that hinges on the presence of a penis from birth.

Transableism
I don’t know if this is really a thing or a right wing scare campaign or some of both.
Further, if it is a real thing, I don’t know if it has any relationship to the trans movement. It might, it might not.
If it is real, I think it shows that once you accept one ideological insanity, more will want to follow copying the first one. We already have transracialism.
However, I am not sure that transableism is actually a real thing yet. I will need to do some investigation. I thought I would mention it though, since readers will start hearing about it.
RSV vaccine now available. Take it. Why is this an issue for Gays?
Anti-vaxxers are also very often anti-Gay Christians and often the most wacked out type of homophobes. LGBT on the other hand tend to be overwhelmingly pro-vaccination.
Gays stay healthy, and anti-Gay Christians are more likely to be either hospitalized or die. Vaccination is a Gay superpower over homophobes.

There are a couple other vaccines in development for RSV, but haven’t been approved.
r/gaytransguys
I am not going to have links showing the emotional issues “Gay” transmen have, but they tend of be bundles of anxieties over many issues. This reddit is basically r/unhappytransguys. They really no idea what being Gay is, are anxious about everything, and are crashing into a wall of reality, realizing Gay men aren’t interested in them.
Gay transman freaked out by men using the urinals in the public restrooms. Also, urinals tend to breakdown her illusions of being a man. Also, since the urinals cause some type of dysphoria, I think you can expect at some point they will be seen as transphobic. Also, when this “Gay” person goes to a Gay bar they will see a trough urinal.
Revealing on reddit the Grindr name of a person she didn’t like.

Tried to use Beehiiv and Ghost. Trying to get art posts started again.
I am trying to get the Gay art posts going again, but it is proving to be difficult.
Beehiiv: Complicated and when I published the email, it was good, but the online page was a mess and didn’t even remotely resemble the distributed post.
Ghost: Couldn’t embed tweets except for single image tweets and when it wasn’t a retweet. Published preview thumbnail had garbled text.
I am a historian who has been busy trying to get a chapter finished up and also I have a speaking engagement coming up. So I have had limited time to work on this issue.
Substack unilaterally changed our format.
Most of the space in the window is empty. Thumbnails are small, text is small for entries. Really trying to see what to do.
