Okay, but you're being incredibly insensitive by referring to the LGBT crowd the way you just did. You're dehumanizing them, which is exactly the kind of behavior the people you're talking about are trying to stop.

Gender is a spectrum, it's a fact, not an ideology.

Besides that, I do think the culture wars have been pushed onto the working classes in order to divide us so that food insecurity, homelessness, and climate change are not prioritized and our pockets can continue to be picked for the distribution of wealth straight to the top. If we could all stop fighting each other over the minutiae or how people live their lives, we might be able to push politicians to fix higher-level, systemic issues.

You are not only incorrect, but hypocritical and selfish if you want rights for yourself, but not for other LGBT people who absolutely exist, whether you like it or not. Keep in mind that trans people were side by side with gay people at Stonewall and ever since, always fighting for LGBT equality (never just trans equality), and here you are whining that they want equal rights just like you want.

Gender exists, including non-binary genders. I suggest using some modern sources to catch up on LGBT issues, as you seem to have some unhealthy, and frankly bigoted, views on portions of the LGBT community. I've seen you completely overblow gender issues in some of your comments with awful and ridiculous "examples" ("transfemme demisexual aromantic oceangender individual" and " transmasculine forestgender cat-boychick") and those shitty "examples" do not represent like any transgender or non-cisgender individuals. That's just not what's going on with gender issues at all. Maybe some person online said something like that, but that's about 0.0001% of trans people.

Exactly zero of the non-cis people I know are anywhere close to your examples. They're all just normal people who were born where their gender doesn't match their birth sex.

First of all, I'm really actually asking this cuz I want an opinion on this and because I don't know much.

Do you really think that what you are suggesting could put a decrease on hate crime and discrimination and rape and belittling of all the different people, all of them belonging to different sets including gender and sex?
