Since I'm a male, perhaps the expressions by a fellow female RI member will hold more weight here, eh?
Project Willow is no longer active here -- unfortunate for all of us -- but she occasionally expresses herself, or "re-tweets" comments by others on Twitter. Let's examine a sampling of a few relatively recent posts by Project Willow's Twitter handle, in relation to some of the recent comments here (and also in other RI threads):Lynn Schirmer Retweeted

You think these clinics care about "trans kids?"
I went to one. A damn good one too.
They knew I was a sexually abused child. I literally told my therapist I wanted to get rid of my genitals because I didn't want to be hurt again.
But somehow, this didn't give anyone pause.

So, I got into a thing tonight with an old friend, about how his nephew is a niece. I tried to explain to him a woman's point of view, he threw Tucker Carlson and Piers Morgan at me, to lib shame me. My fkg god, we women are erased even in the midst of fighting our own erasure.

It's true. This all began with men and their fetishes. Which makes the notion of a 'trans kid' all the more gross. Kids don't exist to legitimize and normalize the sexual fixations of adult men.Malcolm Clark

1./ What's the darkest secret of the trans lobby? It's one it's tried to hide for decades. There's a clue in this documentary on the BBC, called 'Casa Susanna'.
It's a sexual fetish of men who get off by imagining themselves as women.

Don't experiment upon me. Don't restrict my movement. Don't deprive women of women-only spaces. Don't sexualize children. Don't initiate World War Three. Don't punish me for my perspective.
Anyway that's about the sum of my dangerous, extremist, unacceptable opinions.

“I don’t qualify my existence in relation to another’s.” At the tail end of the Second Wave, we were trying to define ourselves, lobbying to change the language, to extract male out of female, man out of woman, and now we fight to keep these words.

Only a sociopathic, male hegemonic culture could come up with such a cruel, twisted, destructive movement.

The more that Queer Theory manifests its goal to be the sexualization of children, the more LGB who break the alphabet chain, the more the term "Gay-Straight Alliance" will come to mean something that would have been entirely unexpected five years ago.

“Once the language of queer theory became the official ideology of this consultant and activist classes, not only did the fight for gay rights become incoherent—so did feminism.”
Georgetown law prof Lama Abu Odeh on the mainstreaming of queer theory:
How Queer Theory Swallowed Gay Rights
Lama Abu Odeh
June 8, 2023
As another Pride Month kicks off, most of us have grown accustomed to phrases like “the LGBTQIA+ community” that suggest a harmonious, if motley, coalition. But queer theory, the academic realm in which this expanding alphabet soup of identities originated, first emerged in the 1990s as a critique of the gay movement as it then existed. The problem with the gay movement, queer theory hypothesized, was that it locked people into binary sexuality-based identities: straight and gay. In other words, queer theory accused the gay movement of “essentializing” sexual orientation. As David M. Halperin, a pioneer in the field, put it in 2003, “queer theory appeared on the shelves of bookstores and in advertisements for academic jobs, where it provided a merciful exemption from the irreducibly sexual descriptors ‘lesbian’ and ‘gay.’”
The problem, according to queer theory, was that the gay/straight binary, and the male/female distinction on which it relied, boxed people’s sexuality into narrow domains. The truth was that people’s sex and sexuality were more accurately described as sitting on a spectrum of sex and sexual pleasure. What was needed, queer theorists argued, was the liberation of sex and sexuality from preexisting constraining frameworks—namely, straight/gay and male/female. How was this possible? By critiquing identity and identification as such, and by opening discourse up to allow people to choose whatever combination of sex (now recast as “gender”) and sexuality (now recast as pretty much anything) suited them at any given moment.
In short, queer theory put the gay movement on the chopping block. Rather than seeing it as a movement promoting the interests of a sexual minority facing discrimination and prejudice, it saw gayness as complicit with the oppressor—heterosexuality—because of its role in constraining the avenues and domains of sexual pleasure that would otherwise be open for exploration if it weren’t for the deadweight of “gay politics.” Queer theory sought to liberate people from social constraints on sexual expression, treating the gay movement’s political agenda—which in the 1990s and aughts coalesced around same-sex marriage—as suspect, because it sought to discipline gay men into straight mores and make them palatable to the heterosexual mainstream. Queer theorists saw themselves as “radical" compared to the “liberal-centrist” gay movement. Whereas the gay-rights movement merely wanted to secure a sexual minority its rights, queer theorists wanted to liberate human sexuality itself.
