At some point we just have to admit this is getting ridiculous. This obsession with identity politics and finding a social tribe to feel justified in every little nuance of the human experience destroyed the LGBT community. We were people who had to organize because who we were was literally illegal, same-sex marriage was illegal, conversion therapy was a thing, homophobic hate crimes threatened our lives, you couldn't access gender reassignment surgeries etc. We created LGBT organizations because we had no equal rights, we built a community because we're a minority and desperately needed to socialize with people like ourselves in order to date, get married and have a family like heterosexual people did. Now that community has been colonized by straight people who feel entitled to our spaces because they deviate a little from gender stereotypes and call themselves queer, because they like people romantically but not sexually unless it's on a Tuesday. Homosexual people became a minority in our own community, where heterosexual people are the majority once again. It's worst for women, if they meet a woman at pride chances are that woman is heterosexual or in a hetero relationship, there's no likeness, no community, it's just a spicy stylish representation of the heteronormative reality. You're either cis or trans, you're either attracted to the opposite sex (heterosexual), same-sex attracted (homosexual), attracted to both sexes (bisexual) or not attracted to any sex at all (asexual), the latter having absolutely no legal challenges or rights threatened. Any other iteration and variation falls in these categories and are futile. Sexual orientation is WHO you're attracted to, not HOW you're attracted. That's just narcissism.
