GOZILLA VERSUS MOTHRA – REDDUX USES ISSUE OF TRANS TO ATTACK PORN
This is the link to the article.

I saved it on the Internet Archive. I don’t think Reddux will delete it, but you never know.
They are exploiting the issue of trans excess to ban pornography. It is based on the opinion of a mother who is not happy with having a trans child. The speculation of a single individual in a moral panic article is supposed to be the basis of policy.
I updated my piece on how LGB isn’t a valid form of organizing to include this with a link to the article and a brief commentary. I put the link to the updated post at the end of the newsletter.
I posted the link to updated “Alliances yes, but NO to LGB, LGBTQXYZ or Queer,” on Twitter and immediately got attacked. Lots of slanders and things. They came across exactly like trans extremists. Just raging and making all sorts of assertions and accusations pulled out of the thin air.
If they were in a LGB group they would tear it up and from my experience that is what they do.
However, this isn’t all bad. While these two groups, trans and anti-porn activists, go after each other with their usual screaming accusations and vicious attacks, these two groups won’t have time to ban drag queens at Pride, demand the exclusion of kink at Pride, and try to assert their generally repressive policies.
Trans extremists will be experiencing cognitive dissonance, because they don’t really think and their cognitive processing is just the expression of outrage. So, they won’t be able to resolve their outrage over transphobia versus their outrage over porn. The Alphabet Soup will be perplexed on how to handle this.
Gay men will begin to realize that some of their LGB “allies” aren’t.
There are issues relating to pornography and prostitution. Underground it is owned by criminal organizations. Above ground it can be regulated and the workers in both professions can be protected.
MORE LETTERS COMING? OBJECTUM SEXUALITY.
When you don’t recognize different communities as different communities and just slop them together, you get slopped in with everything.
These people I think should live their lives as they want to and I say leave them be. I just don’t want to be lumped into them.

TRANS ACTIVISTS WANT TO DECIDE WHICH BOOKS WE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO PURCHASE.
People you disagree with can still be a source of useful information.

ALPHABET SOUP SCOLDS PROBABLY WON’T LIKE THIS MOVIE
Gays having too much fun.

WHEN WE DON’T HAVE A DIRECTION, IT WILL BE SET FOR US
The question on how trans and asexuals were able to take over and dominate needs to be understood. The view among those fighting back seems to be that somehow there was just an outbreak of wrong headedness.
Also, despite the growing absurdities, Gays and Lesbians, who don’t agree with the latest absurdities have made little progress towards recapture of our community institutions or have a real presence in the media that purports to serve our community.
The very social forces which resulted in the current situation are still present and sustaining the negative situation which we find ourselves in.
So, about the above meme.
What I mean by the above is that Gay liberation went off in the direction of just eliminating attacks and discrimination. Even with that it was directed to eliminating discriminations so we could be just like straight people and get married and adopt children.
With the lessening of discrimination, there wasn’t a direction to start discussing what Gay might be, because that might mean that being Gay was different and that scared some people. If we weren’t basically the same as straight people, they might not treat us the same.
Some Gays and Lesbians said that the there wasn’t anything left to do.
So, without Gays having an ongoing discussion of being Gay, building a culture and a Gay-centric identities and culture, there was a void, and initialism and trans filled it.
With additional letters there were new oppressions and new activities for organizations fearful of not having things to do.
A lot of these new letters wanted to attack Gays as oppressors and that is a choice of a non-threatening group to attack. Many Gays just quietly dropped out of movement activities.
Since there hasn’t been an operating philosophy of what Gay might be, since even the idea that there might be such a thing isn’t even imagined, the Gay community doesn’t have a direction or self-concept. Is it any wonder that transmen are asserting they are Gay with the full support of the Alphabet Soup (LGBTQXYZ)?
GAY ART ON YOUTUBE UPDATED
Each week I add something to one of the Gay art pages. So, it is worthwhile to stop back.
WHERE’S THE LINK, OR STOP POSTING STUFF WITHOUT LINKS OR VERIFICATIONS
I am so tired of someone posting a picture without a link to verify that the picture isn’t some fake. I am also tired of anti-trans activists posting fake stuff.
TOTALLY STUPID CALL BY THE LGB ALLIANCE UK
I don’t think a Gay organization would ask for this, but evidently an abridged initialism, LGB, would.

I did a separate post on it as follows.
UPDATED – ALLIANCES YES, BUT NOT TO LGB, LGBTQXYZ OR QUEER
