Where have all the trannies gone?

Has anyone else noticed this? From approximately 2016 to 2023, it seemed as though the entire world revolved around trans people. The news media wouldn’t stop talking about them, everything was deemed “transphobic,” everyone and their mother was accused of transphobia, and the mainstream media would have a meltdown every time Dave Chappelle had a new special on Netflix. Even the Biden administration got on board with nonbinary passports and protecting “trans kids.“

And then 2024 rolled around and it all seemed to stop. No one is talking about trans people anymore. Pride month this year was almost nonexistent, and the Harris campaign is only mentioning gay people but not trans or nonbinary. I’m not sure if it’s just because the general public got tired of it, or if the Harris campaign is encouraging the news media to lay off the trans stuff so they don’t lose the election.

They still are running havoc. I think there is more push back on castrating children and the like. But they are still going strong.

OP complains about how the world revolves around trans people while obsessing over trans people

Why are conservatives so obsessed with trans people? Mind your own damn business!

by Anonymousreply 4October 15, 2024 4:32 AM

I thought they were forcibly transing kids, immigrants, and prisoners, dominating libraries and schools, and destroying every gay right we've fought for. If that's over now, what a relief!

R4 I’m not conservative. I am however grateful that Kamala is laying off the LGBT crap. She finally seems to understand that it’s not a winning strategy and that she needs to do everything within her power to beat Trump.

Laying low until after the election? There was a prominent one making videos around the White House after Biden was inaugurated, and there are a few videos of Harris welcoming them to the White House. But the Bud Light fiasco shows that many Americans don't like discussing the matter overall.

OP, there's been some progress in preventing bio men from competing in women's sports, so that helps to keep trans out of the news, although the problem at the Olympics with the boxers certainly brought the issue back up.

It’s definitely still raging in the UK, what with the crickets released at the LGB Alliance conference.

A lot of women are still angry at Biden for his Title IX rule. Not a good topic to focus on during the campaign.

How much attention can 1% of the population get? And I may be generous here. Also it’s not a winning issue in an election year. I think media interest has peaked. Even the non binary thing has gotten dull. Unless some famous celeb announces their transition, it’s kind of cooled.

The only attention they get on DL is by anti-trans trolls. They're the only ones that start these threads.

OP are you the person who keeps making these threads questioning why the democrats have dropped gay/trans rights, according to your observations? If so you are getting really desperate lol.

Mamala always says the freedom to love who you love with PRIDE. Which is all we gays ever wanted. After the election I plan to get back in the mix and kick all the chicks with dicks out of my gay community organizations. You should too. They are no different than maga trash infiltration our world. Bring logic and sanity back and protect children

by Anonymousreply 22October 15, 2024 6:32 AM

It probably also has do to with the fact that many gay men are clean looking and attractive, or at the very least cutesy, and usually look non-threatening. On the other hand, many trans women are freakish and creepy looking, the stuff of nightmares.

Funny - I was just mentioning this to my friend the other day. There does seem to be fewer headlines.

Hope it stays that way.

When trannies don’t engage in antics that require the press and others to report on it, they’re not in the headlines. It’s completely up to them, isn’t it?

by Anonymousreply 31October 15, 2024 9:07 PM

For many of them it was just a fad and I think the fad is wearing off. I've always said you can't call yourself trans if you've had no surgery to alter your sex organs. And I believe the vast majority of those who've been calling themselves trans are actually just transvestites aka drag queens.

by Anonymousreply 32October 15, 2024 9:10 PM

R32 - I said years ago that when tattoos and body modification is normalized, where do you go to 'rebel'?

I do think there was an element of 'fad' with the massive rise. But there are now so many trans-identified people, it also lost a bit of it being special / new.

Now it feels like it's more of "I'm trans - I just want to get on with my life" - and less of the screeching and finger-wagging at everyone.

by Anonymousreply 33October 15, 2024 10:59 PM

R33 trans is all about screeching, policing other people, gaining access to spaces they are not wanted and lopping off their tits.

Attention seeking and power is the reason that transgenders exist.

by Anonymousreply 34October 15, 2024 11:36 PM

R34 Wow that’s a vast generalization and I personally believe 25% of trans are self loathing gay men. Why are so many trans MTF. Why are so many trans “women” of color? Something ain’t right.
