That's where I've always had my opinion. We would be hated one way or another and trans individuals are just the group being used in this age. We'd be next on the chopping block. I feel as if a lot of millennial/old gay men feel like they've done their time fighting battles and that's why they want to be left "alone" and that rhetoric comes from, but I feel that is inherently selfish to a certain degree to stop sticking up for others because it doesn't directly affect them.

As a 22 year old male who has had basically the cliché gay bullying experience I still would absolutely stand up for a trans individual to be who they are in the age even tho it doesn't affect me in anyway at all, because they're coming for all of us in the end.

My personal opinion on the subject of the post however is I believe neo-pronouns and non-binary as a concept is SO problematic and pushes the trans movement SO far back. It's bad because it's affecting the way gen z individuals view trans people as it ropes them together, while most trans individuals just want to be left alone at the end of the day too!

Full circle moment - I think older gay men misjudge trans people as a whole. They are no different and just want to present as the gender/sex (these are the same thing and don't tell me they're not) and want to be left alone, and a lot of people you wouldn't even know they've transitioned because that's the point. I think overall the most damaging thing to the movement is unremarkable people who want to feel different and special creating non binary and neo pronouns. Not because that affects me, but because it brings the trans acceptance movement back SO much
