None of that shit has anything to do with running a country. That's why you shouldn't have been backing it.
Get rekt, terf
Ah, typical queer white supremacist meet inclusive white supremacy. Hallmarks of a fascist.
TL;DR: fuckwad TERF gets what everyone else saw coming.
Total POS. There do exist certain white queers who like waving the rainbow flag and yet exclude nonwhites from their happenings.
I opposed childhood gender transitions, unlawful and divisive DEI mandates, and the excesses of Critical Race Theory.
Never get tired of the "This Far And No Further" civil libertarian.
My personal circumstances always demand a socially protected designation. But everyone who isn't me? Idk, they seem extremist and scary.
Today, some of those same attorneys I worked with are advocating for my right to marry my fiancée to be stripped away.
Well, but of course. Because it's "This Far And No Further" for them, too.
When people marched in NYC after Stonewall, it was the whole community: LGBTQ. Once the police let off, all of the LGB types abandoned the rest of the community and went back to their well-paying jobs. This author is just like one of these unempathetic sorts.

Many will say I should have seen this coming — that the right has and always will be against LGBT rights. And maybe there’s some truth to that. But that just wasn’t my experience. I was met with open arms by this messy coalition of ex-Democrats and lifelong Republicans, many of whom still support me and my right to marry. I found a community committed to reason and truth. Perhaps I’m simply realizing that there are fewer of us than I originally thought. The radical right is on the warpath against liberalism, trampling centrists, libertarians, and reasonable ring-wingers in the process. Ultimately, I don’t regret my decision. I worked toward what I believed — and still believe — to be true. I still oppose radical gender ideology and Critical Race Theory in schools. I still believe that biological males shouldn’t compete in women’s sports or be housed in women’s prisons. But I will not stand by while LGBT rights are legislated away.
Read: "The only rights that should be protected are mine."
There must be a path to redemption, but this one ain't on it.
Women who fall for conservatism are a special kind of stupid. They hate us, always. Even though we are the default and half the damn population.

Surely the leopards won't eat my face
So the tldr here is that a lesbian TERF has discovered that once the rights of others that they were fine with being trampled upon had been stripped away, the people they chose to side with suddenly turned on them.
Something something frog and scorpion in a river...
"I found that while I supported my own rights as a sexual minority, I did not support the rights of other minorities whom I was not apart of"
That's what it is to think like a conservative:
"I found that while I supported my own rights, I did not support the rights of others whom I was not a part of."
Typical Conservatism
"Its stupid, wasteful, sinful, woke communism, until I can benefit from it, then its my well deserved patriotic right"
Oh no. You made a deal with the devil and it didn’t work out for you!? Who could have possibly seen that coming!?
Many will say I should have seen this coming — that the right has and always will be against LGBT rights. And maybe there’s some truth to that. But that just wasn’t my experience.
Yeah, no shit dumbass. They were acting nice because they were using you. Divide and conquer, exactly like all those people screaming at you were saying.
If only there was some kind of historical precedent so we could know what would happen immediately afterwards if, say, a prominent gay Nazi helped the Nazis exterminate trans people. Like, maybe if somebody had just appeased them by helping them exterminate one or two small minorities, they'd have mellowed out! Unfortunately, there was just no way to know this would happen. I mean, other than all the people who did predict it, but they clearly just got lucky.
On an unrelated note, I wonder if I could interest her in a nice set of long kitchen knives.
What a fucking dumbass.
