The problem was that his campaign was entirely founded on hatred, and there are a lot of hateful people. LGBTQ+ was one target. Other targets were women, Haitians, hispanic immigrants (both legal and undocumented), etc.

In gaming specifically, DEI became a target as well. Guess who made a big stink about it to start with?

It's honestly disgusting.

"wanting to be considered people and not hidden away" is apparently too much for some people

Thinking that posting "kill all men" is a net benefit to society?

My point being: You'll have to dare a perspective shift to actually understand the issue. No, it's not about gay marriage and stuff. People by and large, at the utmost, just don't give a fuck. Live and let live is popular as ever. Hearing, as a 12yold boy, "Men ruled the world for millennia now it's our turn, you have no problems, men, boys, by definition can't have any problems, also mutilating your genitals is perfectly justified look at this one random study which says that if you don't wash yourself then circumcision reduces AIDS rates"... yeah. 12 years is significantly less than millennia, why in the everloving fuck would you blame the poor kid for it and don't get me started on the circumcision shit the US is cooked.

As said: Dare that perspective shift. It's not about queer theory, it's not about emancipation, it's about institutionalised cattiness and bitter, over-zealous rhetoric creating a particular appearance. It's also pretty much limited to the US, there's bits and pieces floating over the Atlantic but our gender relations and politics over here aren't fucked-up enough to generate that kind of shit ourselves. Also we don't mutilate genitals.

Or, differently put: Take all the pain you've ever seen within the community created by ace and bi erasure, about TERFy enmity, about transmeds, about whatnot, and funnel it onto a young kid who has no letter, not even the "A" for ally they stole from the aces, because why would you give a fuck about ally status when you're bitter and want to let off steam. Do that in queer spaces. Do that with your therapist, don't do it in a public political space -- the 12yolds are reading -- and even more so don't try to justify it as "part of the struggle". And actively work against queer spaces becoming self-pity circlejerks of bitterness. Be uppity, be brash, be loud, be fun, be colourful, don't be aggressive. Hug a homophobe they hate that, don't spit fire on them their neuroses love that.

Everything related to gender ideology on the schools, hormones for children, etc.

I was talking maturity-level, experience, education, etc. ...and character, in particular.
