As someone who is part of the G in that acronym.. I clearly remember asking people to accept us because we couldn't change. Today, we're told we can change our gender at the drop of a hat.. or make up a gender, if we choose. Both of these things cannot be true.

I have noticed a schism in "my community " - which doesn't feel very communal or accepting or loving. The LGBs who pretty much got on with their lives- relationships, careers, volunteering in their communities don't seem to resemble the folks who did none of those things, but instead spent their adult life hooking up and becoming caught up in every nuance and subculture of "gay world"!
Many of my gay friends (who are mostly politically conservative BTW) are worried that the Trans agenda may actually hurt the gay community. When young people come into puberty and begin notice that they are sexually different from the majority, they often need guidance in sorting out their identity. Rather than realizing that they're gay and confused, they're told that they are the wrong sex. I don't know any gay people that want to, or have ever wanted to, change their gender. They are comfortable in their own skin. Pushing a pre-gay child to transition is as bad as pushing them to be straight. It will only damage them more.
2/3 of minors who "transition" are females/girls. How many of them questioned their sexuality, Googled the word lesbian, and saw "lesbian" porn, showing prostitutes sucking penises, said to themselves 'I don't want to do THAT, I must be a man?'
I have 5 family members who are LGB. They all feel exactly the same way you do.
They are sick of it.
Cheers!
The LGB friends and family members I know agree that children are being groomed and don't agree with that.
