Liberals Lash Out at Newsweek Over Opinion Article Linking Transgender Activism To Homophobia
Indeed. The Trans Agenda is not only sexist against biological women and girls, but they also stomp on lesbians (biological women) and homosexuals (biological men).
This intersectional, neo-Marxist, social justice activism, critical theories, and “queering” and “Queer Theory,” is stomping on biological women and homosexuals of both sexes. It’s toxic, and all progressives should throw it in the trash – stop promoting it, stop defending it.
And no, the woke liberals and the progressives do NOT like having it pointed out how “intersectionalism” ends up harming other groups, even groups who liberals have considered to have faced discrimination historically.
It’s rather strange to me how the Left is trying to cram all their garbage down everyone’s throats, but they despise it when anyone plainly calls it out for what they try to do – as what happened to the “Libs of Tik Tok” twitter account recently (progressives tried to shut that account down), which merely shares publicly available, grooming videos on TikTok by far left liberals.
The progressives do not like anyone to shine light on what they’re doing, but simultaneously, they demand all of us to adopt and go along with their views.
The original editorial that got the wokesters upset:
(Link): The New Homophobia | Opinion by Ben Appel
Excerpts:
There is a frightening new version of homophobia pervading the U.S., disguised as, of all things, “LGBTQ” activism. For adult gay people like me, it’s clear that this activism does not advance our equality, but in fact compromises our ability to live peacefully in society. In fact, it is threatening our very existence.
I first became aware of this new homophobia in the summer of 2017, when I interned at a major LGBTQ-rights organization. …
My excitement about the internship quickly gave way to a nauseating mixture of fear and shame. I was, I quickly learned, not the right kind of “queer.” I was just another “cis” (short for “cisgender,” a word I had never even heard until it was assigned to me, typically as a slur) gay male—in other words, a privileged and unevolved relic of the past.
After all, I had my rights—the right to marry, the right to serve openly in the military, the right to assimilate into this oppressive, “cisheteronormative,” patriarchal society.
It was time to make way for a new generation of “queer,” one that had very little to do with sex-based rights and more to do with abolishing the concepts of sex and sexuality altogether.
…Thankfully, and somewhat serendipitously, the following semester I enrolled in a class called U.S. Lesbian and Gay History, led by the prominent gay historian George Chauncey.
In that class, I learned about queer theory, an obscure academic discipline based largely on the writing of the late French intellectual Michel Foucault, who believed that society categorizes people—male or female, heterosexual or homosexual—in order to oppress them.
The solution is to intentionally blur—or “queer“—the boundaries of these categories. Soon this “queering” became the predominant method of discussing and analyzing gender and sexuality in universities.
… Queer theorists insist that subverting the categorizations which have been imposed upon young people—for example, the sex they were “assigned” at birth—is the ultimate expression of autonomy, and further, the key to liberating society from a system devised largely, so they claim, by cisgender white men. (Never mind the scientific and cultural achievements of women and racial minorities.)
… Speaking recently about these issues with a LGBT mental health specialist—one among many who have serious concerns about the hastiness of medical transition for youth in the U.S.—it struck me that, if radical activists can convince enough people that biological sex is a farce, that “trans women are women” and “trans men are men,” then the path to the full erasure of gender-role-nonconforming gay people will be fully paved.

Transgender activists and supporters lashed out at Newsweek on Friday after it published an opinion piece claiming some transgender extremism was motivated by homophobia.
The opinion piece penned by Ben Appel argued that some transgender activism was actually aimed at erasing homosexuality.
…”Today, the least-accepting spaces for people like me are, of all places, the halls of LGBT rights organizations, where the threat might not be violence but is nevertheless terrible stigmatization and shame,” he concluded.
Critics attacked Newsweek for daring to publish an article opposed to the aims of the transgender lobby.
“Nice of Newsweek to publish a ‘please save the gays but destroy the trans’ article. Top notch work there,” tweeted one detractor.
… Others were even more incensed when author J.K. Rowling, who has become a target of the pro-transgender lobby, tweeted the article.
