Do you remember a TV series called Transcendence? In one episode the lead character - a trans guy - visits a feminist retreat and is not exactly made to feel welcome! My chief concern is the gender identity issue because those who espouse the ideology are not looking for equal rights - they want to proselytize and recruit. Why else would they target schools, libraries and other venues that children attend? I also don't support open demonstrations of LGB lifestyles in faith-based places where such lifestyles go against their religion. There is such a thing as religious freedom, too. Live and let live. We don't have to assert our own rights by tromping on others' rights.
I must have missed that tv series but you point to an issue re whether a woman who has 'transed' herself will be accepted into a given group. I guess it would depend on the group or enough people in the group as to acceptance or no acceptance. I would have an issue w/ a woman pretending to be a man or who has hormonally or surgically mutilated herself unless she was a de-transitioner. I have more empathy for de-transitioners but the others who have tried to opt-out of being a woman I find more difficult. So-called gender non-conformity in a woman is fine but it is off-putting when that woman tries to become an ersatz man. As to your other remarks. First, I don't consider being gay or lesbian a lifestyle--the Amish have a lifestyle-- but most LGs live like everyone else. Secondly, I don't like public displays of affection be they hetero or homo unless it's mild like holding hands. Thirdly, I don't think it is appropriate to confuse kids w/ the gender nonsense. Just leave kids alone and if a kid is obviously so-called gender non-conforming be supportive as a teacher but do not invalidate him/her by saying they were 'born wrong' or the absudity of being 'born in the wrong body.' No person is born in the wrong body--what utter lunacy.
LGBs have been fighting against 'gender identity' nonsense as well--esp. lesbian feminists-- who have been doing so for decades.
