Full disclosure: as a Christian I believe the bible speaks against homosexuality (along with thousands of other sins) and that there are two genders. That being said, I am a firm believer that people should live how the please as long as they are not hurting anyone and if an adult wants to "change their gender" more power to them. I'll support your right to live how you want, and I hope they can respect my right to worship how I choose.
The other day I saw a commercial with a black "transwoman" talking about how when he was growing up he didn't see anyone that represented him. I almost started screaming at the TV. There is a very tiny amount of men who have gender dysphoria, and black men with gender dysphoria is an even smaller number. He was talking about how he wanted to make movies and I rolled my eyes because I am sure he will win an oscar someday by making some garbage movie that the critics will gush over.
Why do you think there seems to be an agenda to make it seem like LGBT people make up a large portion of the population? Of course anyone who asks this question gets told "gay people exist" or something about how heterosexuals shove their "heteronormative" lifestyle down everyone's throats. No point in responding to it because they will just screech louder if I say heterosexuality is the norm.
And of course with the representation comes the overhype like you see if there is a female, black, or hispanic person in a movie or TV Show. I can remember seeing articles about that one lady on Stranger Things who is a lesbian talking about how she was the best character in the whole series and to me that made no sense for a show paying homage to the 80s with a reformed jock and the nerdy girl, but gotta subvert expectations. Or the San Junipero episode of Black Mirror. The episode about ranking people via social media was a much better look at our society and raised some interesting questions but of course San Junipero was treated like the second coming of Citizen Kane.
So why do you think there is so much over-representation? I also saw a poll about LGBT being very high in younger groups but I have to believe at least some of that is due to being trendy and a lot of women who are married to men seem to love to say they are queer.
Like I said there are gay people who have the "don't bother me and I won't bother you" mentality. I'm mainly referring to the radical movement that considers it oppression if you don't enthusiastically celebrate and affirm their lifestyle.
I saw a thomas sowell video where he talked about how hundreds or thousands of years ago middle eastern aristocracy liked slaves but particularly liked eunich (men with their junk cut off) slaves.
It was illegal to do this to a slave but of course this didn't stop them, slave traders would buy a slave, move him out of the country, amputate his genitals off. If he survived (I think it was about a 50% rate) they'd bring him back and sell him for a high price.
This seems to be what's going on. Modern society switching to the female model where you don't force someone yourself, you emotionally gaslight and abuse them until they do it to themselves.
Western society has emasculated men. I think this is partly, or mostly, due to women using their voting rights to replace the traditional role of man (protector and provider) with government. Women, under the guise of female empowerment and "not needing a man", has replaced men with the greatest masculine entity on the planet: government. Granted, government is a poor imitation, and completely devoid of care or thought with regard to truth, consequence of action, or people affected, but women vote for this shit with great consistency nonetheless, and then bitch about "where have all the good men gone". Well, they were replaced by government. This has a lot of ancillary effects, like reducing the individual drive of each woman to seek out a man, because they've reduced the need, which then reduces the number of marriages, increases the number of divorces, increases one night stands, reduces the number of children, increases porn use by men, the number of women willing to do porn, increases antagonism of each sex against each other, increases the number of men dropping out of society, which increases the number of gamers among men, and on, and on, and on. Major missteps can result in catastrophe.
Keep in mind, however, that women weren't the driving force of this. Women were just easier to manipulate than men were, to do what the globalists wanted us to do. Women are emotional and less logical beings by their nature, thus, women are easier to manipulate and control.
This is also brought on as a consequence of our success, because as we improve as a society, we become more wealthy, invent more things, and put bigger and bigger barriers between ourselves and nature, which prevents us from being taught by nature, passing down what we learned, and keeping our hard won traditions of what works and what doesn't by nature. Nature kills off the stupid quite quickly and rewards the intelligent with life and offspring (continuance). Our society isn't continuing, it's degrading toward destruction, because of (in part) due to above reasons.
They weren't manipulated. Don't talk utter bullshit.
Most women were manipulated into it. It doesn't mean their motivations affected what they did and what they're doing. If women were logical and doing this to gain powers they should be happier, but they're not. Women are unhappier now than they've ever been.
Self reporting is garbage. Why would you trust them claiming to be unhappy?
