I won't editorialize the title here except to give the name of the rag publishing this. I also hesitate to do this, but I actually suggest you read this one if you're willing to take a little brain damage, because it's one of those articles where the writer comes close to realizing the actual problem but they never quite get there because actually getting there would involve abandoning the progressive death cult. The beginning and end tend to be better, with the middle being mostly flaming shit, but it's all mixed in together.
But in case you don't want to dig through the shit for the good parts, here's some good excerpts with the disclaimer that these are NOT
representative of the article, just the good parts where they point out the problems with the progressive mindset while their cognitive dissonance allows them to avoid concluding their cancerous ideology is the problem.
For me, the fight over the term super-straight suggested something else: that social-media culture is disorienting to many people in ways that make hard conversations harder still, and that no faction in Gen Z will win an argument about matters of the heart by tarring the other side as problematic.
I empathize with people on the other side of this divide, too. Most have dating preferences that don’t necessarily imply a negative view of people who fall outside them––I’d be averse to dating an 18-year-old or a 60-year-old, yet I neither hate nor fear either age cohort––and that they might not be able to change even if they wanted to. Claims that only bigots would decline to date a trans person strike some commentators as a form of coercion. “It’s obviously completely valid to exclude trans people from your dating pool if you’re not attracted to them, and anyone who says otherwise is honestly kind of rapey,” argues the YouTuber Blaire White, who is trans.
The longer social-media shamers condemn preferences that the overwhelming majority of people share, the more inevitable the pushback. For many, Royce’s meme was defensible precisely because it was couched as a plea for inclusion. “The fact that people are upset about this new sexuality being created is a little hypocritical coming from the folks who created abrosexual, demisexual, gerontosexual, gynosexual, intrasexual, kalosexual, multisexual, pomosexual, sapiosexual, and literally hundreds more,” White said on YouTube. “Even though super-straight is a joke, the irony is that it’s a lot more valid than a lot of those I just listed. Actually, all of them. Y’all are releasing new sexualities more than I release new videos, like it’s your full-time job. But you freak out when someone else does it?”
Super-straight adherents celebrated antagonistic reactions like that because, in their telling, they exposed progressives as hypocritically threatening violence to others on the basis of their sexual orientation.
She also noted that “who you date is a really personal thing. And no one is ever going to respond well to being told that it’s bigoted to date who they want to date or to not date who they don’t want to date.” Berating other people “is never going to elicit any reaction other than causing them to get more locked down in their view.”
Again I'd like to reiterate that I'm deliberately taking these quotes out of context (while being honest about it) because the article as a whole still pushes this degeneracy but the author comes so close on multiple occasions to realizing the problem with the progressive mindset, while still being unable to make that mental leap.

Doubt.
