One thing they're now trying to do and divide the broader LGBTQ community over the issue of trans rights by trying to convince other groups within - namely the G and L components - into thinking that "if you support trans rights, you're eliminating rights for others within the community." Cases in points....

Known as TERFs, trans-exclusionary radical feminist groups are working with conservatives to push their anti-trans agenda.

Replying to you both in the same post. Idk how much you guys know about UK's politics, but recently there's like a campaign against trans people almost, and JK Rowling happens to be one of the advocates for it for whatever reason. Which is surprising in itself because she has liberal views on quite a few things. Which is what I'm saying, out of the LGBT group, acceptance levels for everyone except the 'T' is either consistent or increasing with the past, while trans specifically are being disliked.One thing they're now trying to do and divide the broader LGBTQ community over the issue of trans rights by trying to convince other groups within - namely the G and L components - into thinking that "if you support trans rights, you're eliminating rights for others within the community."

There's also a statistic I saw that compares trans acceptance between 2016 and 2019. The 2016 one was much higher, and now the number has been declining. @Webster already gave some examples, but I'll provide a source for this UK thing if you want. The point is, I'm neutral to both sides, but I wonder why a specific part of the LGBT is being excluded.
Edit: Saw Webster's links again. That's one of the groups that are thriving in the UK; 'TERFs'.
Because the right have turned trans people into a hot button issue because they can't and won't understand it. They did the same thing to gay and lesbian in the past (still happens today, but the point being they were the main targets the ), and now it's our turn. They don't understand what it is to be trans, so they fabricate ideas about trans people, spread the misinformation and try to set back our right to care and life saving surgeries. But it's ok, because we can't make the right uncomfortable...
Yeah this is also true. The concept of LGB has existed for a long while now, basically it has gotten all the shit towards it already - Trans concepts are relatively newer than LGB, so I guess it's going through the same process, if that makes sense.
Well, trans people have been around just as long as Gay and Lesbian people, but it's been far more under wraps until recent history.
Yup, that's why I specifically used the term "concept" while referring to both.
Its' a culture war issue that they use to gin up votes and fear. Its' cheap but unfortunately effective.
Unfortunately, yep, and they don't care who they hurt along the way.
As long as they can "own the libs" they'll do it.
So you are saying there is no relationship between the biological and the sociocultural?WHO IS SERAFIN said:
Except for the fact that it literally has shown cross cultural and historical variation. The way people understand and perceive genders has varied across cultures and throughout history. Your culture determines not only what values you attribute to the genders in society but also how many you believe are present.WHO IS SERAFIN said:
This is heavily influenced by sociocultural and historical factors but throughout a person's lifetime they can experience variation in regards to gender. This can often be referred to as stages of a person's life.WHO IS SERAFIN said:
You accused me of inventing words and I simply pointed out that all words are invented.WHO IS SERAFIN said:
She isn’t against the trans community she is against a segment of the trans community targeting children. Just like the groups mentioned.
But my original question is not answered.
They brought the shit on themselves once they targeted children and women. But you got to gin it up, misdirect it like it’s about something else. It isn’t, it isn’t political.

For the first one, I thought it was already clear lol. Basically LGB's support levels stay consistent, unlike Trans rights which is steadily declining, so the view on the former group is "unhinged/unchanged."
Second one about sources:

Boris Johnson’s U-turn over protecting trans people in the conversion therapy ban is an attempt to appeal to Tory heartlands, says Jayne Ozanne

The 2nd link is particularly important, as I've heard from people I know in the UK about certain several agendas being pushed in the media.
Honestly agreed on there. You simply do not try to educate children out of the blue about this lmao. I think that was their biggest blunder.

Still no answer on this question, you are giving how you feel.
"Please give specifics on what is unhinged exactly and please provide quotes from politicians and people in power that makes it pushing back?"
Lmao you absolute fucking putz. I just specified on what is unhinged and gave you sources. I also said I was neutral and agreed to one of your points. Do you not read what I posted?
lol, no. But you go right on believing that.
