Wokies don't really Like Gays Any Longer
Woke Homophobia Becomes More and More Prominent Daily
Again my three-year old piece which turned 100% prophetic.
All gays, lesbians and bisexuals need to know that they fell foul of the new Western Woke Left ideology. They had probably already noticed that LGBT+ organizations raise gay issues less and less, while trans and ‘non-binary’ ones - more and more. As if homophobia ceased to be a problem and gay people ceased to matter. I believe my gay, bi and lesbian friends had noticed it themselves. They might not have understood the reasons for that, however, and why did they suddenly cease to matter for people who claimed to care of their rights before. So here I am to explain.
First of all, we need to realize that almost no large LGBT+ organization in the West (like Stonewall, GLAAD, etc.) is politically independent. They are closely affiliated with Left wing parties (as 'natural allies in fight for equality') and through them - with Western elite and establishment which is at this point almost 100% Woke. So, the Woke ideology pours directly into LGBT+ organizations and communities, poisoning them all.
But why don't Woke like gay people, some may ask? Well, it's because the Woke have another favorite minority groups at this point whom they want to use to push their ideology, and who are actually somewhat in conflict with gay rights. The favorite minority groups of the Woke are the following: Blacks and Muslims on racial front (and Asians and Jews for example fell foul from the protected racial minorities), and trans and ‘non-binary’ people on sexual front (and gay, lesbians and bi people fell foul of the protected sexual minorities). I had already written why Jews and Asians fell foul of the system - because they're doing too well in Western society to be declared 'oppressed', so the Woke declared them privileged and equated to whites. With Jews, Israeli-Palestine conflict in which all the Woke Left uncritically support Palestine and fiercely condemn Israel, contributes to it heavily as well. But why gay people fell far from the Woke grace?
First of all, because of Muslims. The Woke cherish Muslims dearly and fiercely protect Islam at all costs, despite all its atrocities and crimes against humanity in Islamic countries. Hence, gay people, complaining about extreme homophobia of Islam more and more often now when more and more Muslim immigrants are on the West, kinda annoy the Woke a lot and ruin their 'perfect' narrative about Muslims as 'poor victims of white colonialism and Jewish occupation'. Poor innocent ‘victims’ executing gay people in their home countries, right. It makes people really wonder who is a real victim there. So no, the Woke don't like gay people now because of that.
But not only because of that. Even more importantly, gay people are kinda incompatible with new Woke trans and ‘non-binary’ narrative. The Woke are working on deconstructing of the concept of gender per se currently. They are blurring the differences between genders, encouraging men to be feminine and women to be masculine (like men to wear female dress, etc.). Again, nothing wrong with a guy in female dress per se, but the Woke make it look like guys in female dress are actually better than typical guys in male ones. They are establishing a new fashion with a goal to blur all borders between genders. In fact as I was saying before, the Woke aim to go as far as to erase the concept of biological sex per se, to ban gendered language, and to stop us thinking of ourselves as of men and women but rather as of non binary entities, all of us.
And here is where gay people fell foul from it. In truth, gay people don't mind traditional femininity and masculinity at all. For example, gay men are quite often worship and idolize masculinity (recall Tom of Finland!) even more than straight men (because gay men are men themselves and are attracted to men so there is a real feast of masculinity!), and I'm pretty sure lesbians appreciate all kinds of femininity as well. So gay people are not quite interested in deconstructing of the concept of the gender, and even less so in erasing of the concept of biological sex replacing it with gender identity.
After all, gay men for example are attracted to biological males, not to women who identify as men. Sexual orientation is based on biology and on physical attraction, after all. And this is unforgivable for the Woke, hence they are more and more often condemn gays and lesbians as 'transphobic' for refusing to sleep with 'women with penises' and 'men with a pussy'. But sexual orientation works based on biology again. I get aroused by physical sight of a man, by male smell, etc. If a woman says that she's a man but looks like woman, there's no arousal. Simple as that. But not for the Woke.
It's actually interesting how the Woke use paralogic there, placing more importance on the words than on actual thing. Lets take a flower example. I like the smell and look of a rose and I don't actually care how does it called - rose, ruusu (in Finnish), or else. If someone says that 'some tulips are actually now called roses as well', I won't perceive these tulips as roses simply because someone renamed them. My nose still inhales the fragrance of a tulip, and my eyes see the tulip petals, even if this tulip is called rose now. I like the particular fragrance of rose and look of rose petals, not the name of the rose. In fact I don't even care how it's named as long as it smells as good. The analogy is clear I guess. A woman can identify as a man, but she still looks and smells as a woman, not as a man. So my sexual attraction isn't buying it. And again, I'm not attracted to gender identity or to abstract concept of a man, I'm attracted to real men with physical male bodies. The Woke want to destroy that. They want to make gay men to get attracted to biological women who identify as men. That's deeply wrong.
Hence, the Woke (and large LGBT+ organizations controlled by them) are not really interested in supporting gay rights any longer. In fact, such a shame, they condemn gays and lesbians who disagree with their false narratives more and more often, either as 'Islamophobic', or 'transphobic', or both. At least it's the case in US and UK at this point.
So my advise to gays, lesbians and bi in US and UK. You can't perhaps affect those foul changes in the organizations which pledged to support your rights. However, if the organization which pledged to support your rights, fails to do so, and even goes as far as to condemn you for challenging its dogmas, you don't have to be part of this organization any longer. If your community fails you, you don't have to be a part of this community any longer as well. You're free to leave and perhaps to create your own, new organizations and communities which would really support equality and gay rights instead of pushing sinister Woke agenda under its cover. After all, gays, lesbians and bi people are still the majority of LGBT+ community. Trans and ‘non binary’ people aren't that large groups. Hence exactly the Woke, even if stopped active support of gay rights, still don't wanna gay people to leave completely (otherwise they would have condemned them all as 'transphobic and Islamophobic' long ago), because without them, LGBT+ communities would be much less powerful, and might even collapse.
But now think - DO YOU REALLY NEED TO EMPOWER ORGANIZATIONS WHICH FAILED TO SUPPORT YOUR RIGHTS? I'm speaking mostly of US and UK again now. Why would you want to allow these organizations to use you in their trans and non binary wars which have nothing to do with your rights at all? The Woke and those Woke LGBT+ organizations would tell you that 'you can't be free as a gay until all trans and non binary people are liberated'. But this is a lie, even double lie. Firstly, gay and trans rights aren't even correlated to make this statement, but quite separated, and in fact, especially now, they are even somewhat opposed to each other. For example, if a kid is gender non conforming, trans activists would say that he's most likely trans while he might be just gay. Second, the Woke don't even care of actual rights of trans and non binary people either but use them to push their toxic agenda which is irrelevant to their rights, and to gay rights even more irrelevant.
So, basically, what those Woke LGBT+ organizations want from you? They want you to support giving hormones to little kids. They want you to support banning of gendered language and replacing it with 'gender neutral'. They want you to support destruction of female sport by pushing biological males there. They want you to condemn a popular children author for her opinions. Now tell me, how does all of this EXACTLY RELATE TO YOUR RIGHTS as of a gay/bi man or woman, even remotely? I don't see how all of this agenda is relevant to gay rights. I don't see that it's relevant even to trans or non binary rights. It's absolutely irrelevant. It's toxic and dangerous. Do you really wanna to sign up for all that? Do you really want people to say later that it's 'because of the gays that our kids were mutilated with hormones', do your really? If not, then walk away from that shit. Don't support it.
And what, in the end, Woke LGBT+ organizations would give you if you pledged you support for all this shit? Like nothing, literally nothing. As I said, they are absolutely unconcerned with gay rights at this point, and don't even pretend to care of them any longer. They pretend to care of trans rights but in truth don't give a shit about them either. All they want is to push this sinister ideology of deconstruction of gender and childhood. So walk away from that. Don't allow your name be smeared with that shit. And, after all, if American and British gays, bi and lesbians would start to leave LGBT+ organizations in mass, maybe they'd reconsider their priorities, and would start to serve human rights and equality again instead of the Woke nihilism and destruction.
I really like your take on this. But here’s another perspective. Replace the word Woke with Marxist.
I’ve been deep diving into Australian Marxist activities. My conclusion is that the hatred/rejection of the gay community by Marxist happens because most gays etc don’t concede to the Marxist demand to accept that they are part of a collective class of oppressed (gay) persons. Instead gays etc see themselves as individuals. Therefore the rage of Marxists who go looking for another group (trans) that they can assert are a class of oppressed persons.
This Marxist (woke) behaviour gives a coherent explanation that applies to any of the issues. That is Marxists are parasites clutching onto any issue where they can push the collective, class agenda against individualism.
Excellent piece,Alex. This is why, as a gay man, I only see myself as LGB and not LGBTWXYZ, who I see as attention seekers and fantasists as well as being manipulative bullies in a lot of cases. Organisations such as Stonewall should now be seen for the evil entities that they are and sanctions applied. But that will never happen as they have governments in thrall
