Take this for example:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-conversation=\"none\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">The gender movement is demanding that we convert to their ideology and practice their beliefs.

This is pretty much how it&#8217;s been for a while, but the trans lot didn&#8217;t start it.<\/p>\n<p>Now it may be that the author is a liberal sort who genuinely wanted only to be left alone, but she must realise the gay rights movement switched from demanding equality to wielding power some time ago. She must also realise that all this was done under the LGBT umbrella, joining homosexuals and trans people together in a way I <a href=\"https:\/\/www.desertsun.co.uk\/blog\/4829\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">always thought<\/a> was stupid. Everything she describes is simply a case of trans activists getting hold of the political power their gay allies have been wielding for years, only with mental illness thrown in.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve <a href=\"https:\/\/www.desertsun.co.uk\/blog\/3550\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">said before<\/a> that gays are going to end up chucked under the bus when progressives move onto <a href=\"https:\/\/www.desertsun.co.uk\/blog\/4504\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">other victim groups<\/a>, and I also said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.desertsun.co.uk\/blog\/4132\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>By moving away from the principle that consenting adults ought to do as they please towards one of forcing moral acceptance of their choices onto a reluctant public via the legal system, the gays have lost a lot of natural allies in the process, those people who may or may not have approved of what they do but on the principles of freedom and liberty believed they should have been allowed to get on with it. The question they ought to now be asking is who will they turn to when they are stripped of their victim status and chucked under the bus. They\u2019re not going to find a lot of sympathy among those who didn\u2019t care who shagged who but cared very much that the proprietors of pizza restaurants in Indiana were being crucified by the media, politicians, and gay lobby after being goaded into uttering the wrong opinions. The mainstream, in other words.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And when the gay marriage decision was handed down by the US Supreme Court I said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.desertsun.co.uk\/blog\/2575\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The gay lobby has got what it wanted, but I fear the means in which it has achieved it may come\u00a0back to haunt them. \u00a0A large part of the gay rights campaign was not about gay rights at all, but this was simply an\u00a0issue on which juvenile, middle-class\u00a0social justice warriors hooked their bandwagon in order to bash what they perceive to be the Establishment (but more often than not, turned out to be\u00a0ordinary people trying to get on quietly with\u00a0their lives). \u00a0With this new ruling by the Supreme Court, homosexuals have taken a giant stride towards being part of the establishment and an equally large stride away from being a persecuted minority worthy of the backing\u00a0of\u00a0a baying mob of self-appointed professional outrage-mongers. \u00a0As the last hold-outs against gay marriage recognition slowly die or get legislated away, new battlefronts will be drawn and the mob will move onto something else: in fact we\u2019re already seeing that transsexuals have become the homosexuals\u00a0<em>de nos jours<\/em>, and it remains to be seen whether gay men living otherwise normal, professional lives will enjoy immunity from the increasingly hate-driven and vitriolic modern feminist movement.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>All of this is a long-winded way of saying I&#8217;m not picking up the cudgels on behalf of the author of that Twitter thread.
