    I have a buddy who has lived in the US, several countries across the EU, New Zealand and Latin America. The gender thing is only a big deal in USA. Other countries do have some issues with how people are preferred to be called but it's not a big deal according to him. Not trying to attack or anything, just telling stuff I heard.

    On the other side, I'm fairly new to the Feddiverse and I would love to hear more about other countries, I think USA people take over the internet really fast

    This meme highlights the real difference between the gay rights movement of the past, and the modern "lgbqt alphabet" movement of now.

    Gay people just wanted to be given the same rights as everyone else, and told is that they didn't have much choice in the matter.

    With the current movement, they want everyone to change their behaviour and the way they think about things.

    You'll often see criticisms of the modern gender movement labelled as "homophobia" but they aren't.

    They are two different movements and should separated.

      This is me becoming a problem ![possum-mama](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/1807054c-b7a8-4299-8196-f4c50b6a0d75.png "emoji possum-mama")

      Get the fuck out of here with that “lgbt alphabet, the queers are getting too uppity” bullshit.

      Stonewall was organised with crucial help from Militant as fuck black trans activists. The LGBTQ movement used to be full goblin mode and it got results because of that. Direct actions brings in the goods. Fuck that tone policing seen not heard bullshit.

      The trans community is currently facing mounting pressure from increasingly more violent and aggressive fascists goons, backed by police and the political establishment of a few dozen states. The democrats - allies in name only - are largely unbothered by this or simply unwilling to expend political capital to defend trans folk from the christo-fascists.

      And make no mistake, this shit is coming for all queer folk. Trans issues are the wedge the right will use to attack all LGBTQ rights.

      In summary: eat my shit and ass hair, pig

      This comment really highlights the lack of materialism in liberal ideology.

      Queer people getting rights in the past required people to change their behaviour and modes of thought, and the modern queer movement still just want to be treated like everyone else - like not having to constantly correct people about their gender.

      Nothing has changed. They're the exact same movement, still trying to claw its way to equality.
