Okay so, LGBT rights. I get it. Progress is good. But there's a line between equality and erasure, and somehow we keep walking past it.

Like last week, some trans influencer gets married in a foreign country because their home state doesn't recognize their gender. Big deal? Sure. But then the media runs with it like it's some cosmic horror, and suddenly everyone who disagrees is "hate speech" or "transphobia.
And don't get me started on pronouns. The thing about language is, people adapt to what they need. If someone identifies as zebra, we'll use zebras. But instead of expanding our vocabulary, everybody just starts using "they/them" for everything. It's lazy, it's confusing, and most importantly, it erases actual women and men.

The worst part? The leftists will tell you this. They say it's about inclusion. But inclusion doesn't mean making half the population feel like they don't exist.
