This is just a litany of aesthetic gripes and pet peeves. The fact that he cannot recognize the same hollow arguments from the years he spent debating gay marriage shows how pickled his brain has become.

Nah we just have disdain for him, and people like him who have disdain for the trans people who fought tooth and nail for the rights he enjoys now, the people he wants to kick the ladder down for behind him.
WE DON'T LIKE YOU SPECIFICALLY, ANDREW
[trans people/
gay marriage/
interracial couples/
people can control their own reproductive freedom/
etc.]
are an abomination and worthy only of scorn gets one *unfriended*"
otherwise those "but you can't use 'queer', it was a slur!" arguments would be completely ridiculous
Zero self awareness at all.
Step 2: pull up the ladder
* See what I did there? Don't forget to tip your waiter, and try the veal.
Why does Sullivan get to spread his historical ignorance like this?
The days when you could invoke her name as a sign of TERF-dom's mainstream reasonableness are long gone. She's barking mad on the subject
Also per this quote any butt stuff is inherently gay. LMAO
They need absolute power and control in order to not be 'stifled', and reality can never provide that to the degree that is demanded.
No, it is the queers who are out of touch.
Weed isn’t harmless, kids
but Stonewall was the big turning point
but we're here now, no matter how mad some people are about it.
assimilation is death
I am shocked, shocked I say, to discover Mr. Bell Curve can be bigoted in more than one direction.
concerning the subject of Andy
affirming isn’t grooming, you fucking weirdo! (Sullivan, obviously)
FFS a lot of us protested for gay rights *while* we were kids!
Complaining about the fake kind isn't dangerous.
Because I think they're complaining about the fake kind as a means to avoid, for whatever reason, talking about the real kind.
If they complain about the fake kind, nobody threatens to deport them or kill them. They go on the RW podcast circuit and complain about how they're censored, with censored being defined as "some ppl disagree and say so."
If they complain about the real kind, its actually dangerous.
He spent a lot of ink to say, "Icky, don't want to see it."
Does Andrew Sullivan think there are people who are fervently pro-trans liberation who would ever confide in him about anything? Because this says way more about his social circle.
Well, when "those who came before" write shit like this, who can blame them?
The actual complaint my young queer friends have made is primarily that the older generations glorify the suffering they went through as romantic rebellion, ala RENT or such.
There's a lot of them.
(Him, not you, just so we're clear)
He can sit on his safe perch, happy with the results, and ignore the throngs who still fight every day.
Insufferable man.
“Aesthetic” is an apt description of his operating principle - most debates to him are aesthetic, not impacting real people.
plus, they feel if they can cement a particular definition for gender, they can police it all the more effectively.
