Trying to get art back into the newsletter.
Still working on this. I am hoping I will have a solution this coming week.

It is stuff like this which is alienating Gays from any movement politics.

Parasitising the Gay community in Netflix “Heartstopper.”
I needed some light watching while I transcribe speeches from the 1940s. I am a historian and it does involve tedious work. Watching the story is fine. It isn’t a particularly complex story and I can predict where it is going.
Then I realized that though the promo for the series involves images of two guys, a major part of the series will be the story of a transwomen (mtf), that is a man who identifies as a woman in a woman’s school. It might be a great story, however, it is another story.
It isn’t a story that I am interested in nor did I select “Heartstopper” to spend a very large fraction of my viewing time of that series to watch a trans story where high school girls are supposed to accept this guy as one of them.
If someone wants to watch a series where a transwoman (mtf) wants to be accepted in a girls’ high school, well that is their choice.
The issue is that these are two stories, a Gay story and a Trans story and the idea that they can be grouped together as an LGBT story is the problem. It is the Alphabet Soup ideology that all the letters can be mashed together.
I also think that the Trans story in “Heartstopper” wouldn’t be able to get an audience on its own, so it was added into “Heartstopper.”
I don’t want to be waiting for the sections of the series where the trans story comes to an end to see where the Gay couple is headed in their relationship.
So, I stopped watching. I am watching something produced in East Asia instead.
I am finding that a lot of non-Gay stuff is being piggy backed on to Gay stuff. Also, there is a refusal to recognize you might have a specifically Gay interest. If you go to a Queer film festival or purchase a queer book, how much is actually specifically Gay.

Transman’s real issue is that when the transman explains that the transman expects Gay men to have sex with her, the Gays give transman a dose of reality.
Transman thinks that when Gay men won’t have sex with him somehow brings the movement down.
Upset that Gays aren’t attracted to female anatomy and when Gays are pressed upon the issue Gays speak frankly.
