Leaders of the "LGBTQIA2S+" Lobby Deserve to Be Fired Along With the Democratic Party Strategists They Brainwashed
A shout out from a Washington State citizen to Seattle Pride after Trump's 2024 victory. There's no reason the architects of driving down support should lead anyone.
by Justine Deterling
I am a Washington State resident, so this is addressed to one of our largest local organizations. I have many national allies and some local ones. This letter could apply to any “LGBTQIA2S+” organization. They are all the same in that they have been captured by the same terrible and widely-hated social movements (the gender craze and intersectional DEI).
Seattle Pride staff,
Trans ‘leaders’ need to have the integrity to FINALLY admit the truth. The extremist version of trans activism you have led, which did not exist 10 years ago, helped hand Trump the presidency. You’re not just hurting us. You’re hurting our country. -Trans activist Brianna Wu
The truth is that the left has f***ed up monumentally on gender identity ideology and until it owns the mistake, it will continue to hand the right valid talking points. -J.K. Rowling
A shocking percentage of Democrats imagine that all the controversy about trans rights and gender identity in kids is just right wing bigotry, and a non-issue politically, whereas it is obvious that for millions of Americans it might as well have been the only issue in this election–not because they’re transphobic assholes, but because they simply do not accept the new metaphysics, and even the new biology, mandated by trans activists and the institutions that they have successfully bullied and captured. . . . Congratulations, Democrats: you have found the most annoying thing in the f***ing galaxy and hung it around your necks. -Sam Harris quoted on Why Evolution is True
Consider engaging in some self-reflection and ethos of personal accountability instead of self-important activist parlance about “resilience,” “showing up,” and getting “louder” after the sweeping Trump victory. You and other “LGBTQIA2S+”/“Queer”/DEI activists are partially responsible for it as you continue to suck money and resources for your unjustified salaries. No one outside of your “queer” ideological bubbles wants you to get “louder,” quite the opposite. Polling data proves “LGBTQIA2S+” overreach helped sway voters to a Republican victory over the presidency, senate, and house. You have presided over significant declines in support for our causes and communities after years of blood, sweat, and tears built unprecedented freedoms and goodwill with the public, even among Republicans. The “LGBTQIA2S+” lobby’s extremism, censoriousness, smugness, sense of moral superiority, intellectual laziness in learning essential facts, inability to compromise, and inability to accept valid criticism in favor of theatrical emotional responses (designed to hide very disturbing facts) all happened while the damage piled up in front of everyone else’s eyes.
I and other Washington staters laid out this well-documented damage regarding noteworthy medical injuries to gender dysphoric minors, harm to girls and women, and inappropriate sexualized behavior around children in our recent letter. With your focus being a parade, you aren’t as blatantly an appalling organization as GLAAD (see here, here) and others ripping off and lying to our populations; you are still part of the problem.
Letter Sent to Seattle Pride Highlighting Reasons for Declining Support for "LGBTQIA+" Causes
We told you so.
It may not be hyperbolic to state the Democrats’ adoption of gender activism is hurting them and aiding Trumpism, as examples of their support for radical trans activism are widely circulated on social media and examined in conservative news outlets.
Here is the proof that gender activism that dominates all “LBGTQIA2S+” media and organizations is a contributing factor to Kamala Harris’s loss.
I. Blueprint, “a public opinion research initiative”
Kamala Harris is focused more on cultural issues like transgender issues rather than helping the middle class.
This was third in a list of twenty-five.
II. The left-leaning New York Times had to admit trans activism contributed to the Democrats' loss.
III. More and more women are no longer willing to be brow beaten by deranged trans activists and their history of violent and sexual threats, slander, doxing, career destruction, and misinformation. Women do not want to be forced into the biology denialism of the “queer” lobby at their expense in sex-segregated spaces like sports and prisons.
Michael Higgins: The rise of the TERFs secured Trump’s victory:
TERF (trans-exclusionary radical feminist) used to be an insult. Now it’s a badge of honour worn by women sick of woke politics and tired of being second-class citizens.
IV. Skeptic Research Center Team charts:
V. Many people do not want they/them pronouns forced on them and are wary of giving children and teens chemical castration drugs. (Kevin Drum)
VI. 60 Minutes, Democrats are “out of touch”:
The party as a whole spends too much time in Washington and New York and Chicago and doesn’t really spend time listening to people like my constituents -Susan Wild, Democratic party politician
VII. The Democrats’ embrace of the "LGBTQIA2S+" lobby has become something genuinely menacing.
“Trump wasn’t the candidate who made women feel bullied and repulsed”
This has been the number one agenda of the "queer" lobby (starting at age 13) in Washington State despite health damage, lack of proof of psychological improvements, or suicide reduction. The public is increasingly aware of the child endangerment and fanaticism propping up the quackery among those who push "gender-affirming care."
“The Scandal Goes All the Way to the White House—But It’s Deeper than Levine”
VIII. The United States, already running a massive deficit, cannot properly fund death-preventing insulin or prenatal care for poor people.
These are general suggestions to “LGBTQIA2S+” activists who want to change your losing trajectory from the heterodox alphabet world. This isn’t going to get better if you don’t change. This is especially for the progress-flag-waiving gay man and lesbian who has traded out the modest demands for consenting adults of the LGB rights movement for the “TQ+” agenda.
1) Stop actively covering up the shoddy research, medical fraud, and health damage resulting from “gender-affirming care” that are the central reasons for the bans Republicans are enacting, which you call “anti-LGBTQIA2S+”.
Liberal, pro-gay/T countries have enacted these bans after thorough systematic reviews, the highest form of science-based medicine. You know exactly what you are doing, and you know that it’s proto-gay/lesbian kids who are most at risk of being harmed. Your behavior isn’t better than those in the Catholic church who covered up sexual abuse to protect “the community“ to continue to project piousness and not make “the community” look bad. I mean that, and I am not the only one saying it. Covering up medical fraud is highly unethical. The abusive manipulation of parents by downplaying severe medical side effects and terrorizing them with unsubstantiated claims their children will commit suicide if they don’t give them chemical castration drugs is sociopathic and precisely what the trans lobby has been doing. Yes, this is all as bad as covering up sexual molestation.
2) Stop pretending you care about youth and care about them.
This will require you to communicate honestly to our populations about medical side effects, research data, and rights conflicts gender activism has with girls and women rather than prioritizing not ruffling feathers. This will require you to piss off your trans friends, whose serious mental health conditions compel them to aggressively push bad policies regarding growing children and teens and women's sex-segregated spaces. This will require you to admit it is creepy to invite kids to sexual liberation parades with high rates of nudity, raunchy behavior, and sexual fetish gear, including furry outfits that look like Disneyland costumes to kids. This will require you to admit sexual predators are infiltrating "queer" spaces regarding minors and that they are using your histrionic responses to criticism as cover.
3) Admit we need a new paradigm around gender atypical expression.
Be willing to make necessary value judgments that the trans/genderqueer movement has done more harm than good by turning people against each other, creating massive spikes in young people emotionally regulating themselves with health-harming and costly extreme body modifications, and predatory men infiltrating areas that need to be sex-segregated. Gender dysphoria, in its current manifestation, has many similarities to other body dysmorphias and socially influenced mental health issues. Spreading this via social contagion to school children or young people on the internet isn't "queer joy". We can build a compassionate world for youth with gender dysphoria. Elevate the many creative examples of gender nonconformity in the arts or cultures, such as the Fa'afafine, where body modification rates are low.
4) You have no right to guilt-trip nonbinary pronouns on anyone- stop it.
Nonbinary pronouns are narcissistic, attention-seeking, and cringe-inducing. You have no right to force them on people any more than making people engage in the Muslim call to prayer. The “LGBTQIA2S+" lobby is doing everything it can to force this on people through the force of law. These identities are attracting people with personality disorders and social awkwardness due to autism, who are using these pronouns to manipulate people and wield inappropriate power. Short-term dopamine hits for the nonbinary-identified when you use “validating” and “affirming” pronouns are not replacements for actual mental health support for issues around body dysmorphias, female self-hatred, or internalized homophobia. Identifying as nonbinary does nothing to break down the patriarchy, nor is it a replacement for an interesting personality.
Ask yourself, “Is this true liberation?”
Instead of promoting pronoun neurosis, help youth learn the Right can’t make fun of you if you don’t act insane.
5) There is evidence that people involved in left-wing causes that express care for the downtrodden may, in reality, be engaging in this type of public activism for narcissistic supply.
Gain an understanding of what a covert or communal narcissist is. Self-reflect and consider if you are one; the odds are high. And if it isn’t you, look around at the “queer” activists who helped ride the country to a Trump victory; you will find them.
6) Respect parental rights.
Own the reality that “LGBTQIA2S+” spaces can have problems with drugs, alcohol, and sexual abuse. Taking distressed, rebellious youth out of their parents’ homes, when they may be very loving people, could be the most harmful thing in some situations. When the government facilitates this, it’s tyrannical. Be willing to come to the table for level-headed discussions about what level of sexual explicitness is appropriate for school libraries.
7) Stop asexuality awareness week.
No self-respecting gay man or lesbian pretends that asexuals are oppressed or have a single thing in common with the hyper-sexual gay-male community. They don’t get thrown off of buildings in Islamic countries. They are not whipping women in Malaysia for having low sex drives, they are whipping lesbians. Every gay man and lesbian flag-waiving “LGBTQIA2S+” activist who has engaged in this prattle, rather than helping our brothers and sisters who are being raped, murdered, and jailed in other countries is an embarrassment.
8) Enact policies and protections for gender-atypical people that don’t destroy girls’ sports and endanger women.
Does the topic of the mounting cases of sexual assaults of women in prison (who often come from backgrounds of poverty and abuse) at the hand of trans-identified male sex offenders ever come up at your “Queer”/LGBTQIA2S+” soirees?
9) Trust your gut.
Deep down inside, you likely know something is going very wrong with "the community" and its activism. Stand up to the cultish dynamic that has become systemic and role model resilience and the ability to consider others' opinions in good faith. Brace for the abuse, witch-hunts, and cancel culture you will receive for doing this. Others will be there to support you.
There are many other things I could list. And you will likely ignore this. If people who work for “LGBTQIA2S+” organizations don’t see the detriments by now, you likely never will. But our expanding community of same-sex attracted people can document the fact we tried to bring more sanity and balance in the face of “queer,” widely-disliked overreach. Forming alternative media and organizations is the way forward.

Good article. I have been reporting on the trans issues for the election and the denialism in the Democratic party. I will do a mention of your post in my upcoming newsletter. I am also in touch with the Human Gay Male people and their conference in London is in Jan. 2025. I hosted them when their traveling organizer stopped in Dallas, Texas. Feel free to use any reference materials in my posts for your group. Also, I save stuff to the Internet Archive so the opposition can't delete it.
I am a centrist Democrat and a sex realist gay man in my late 60s. There is no daylight between us on gender identity ideology and its pernicious social consequences. I, too, am disgusted with how progressive trans allies are falling all over themselves to reaffirm their commitment to every element of the trans agenda.
At the same time, those allies - some of whom are gay men - are reiterating their shrill contempt towards the sex realist position and all its advocates. What they cannot censor they will slander and shame. As they themselves might put it, they give us sex realists a darned good "othering" 24/7 and are damned proud of it.
I was disappointed but not surprised when the political operative and Obama-era official Jon Lovett, a gay man, expressed his anguish on Tim Miller's Bulwark podcast over the prospect that Trump was coming for "LGBTQ people." Tellingly, Lovett also gave a cri de coeur lamenting how awful it was that he (and presumably other progressives) were so right in their thinking while those who disagree with them are so very, very wrong. Miller, who is also gay, has a knee-jerk way of standing up for trans on his podcast. Within the past few months he demeaned himself by the flippant way he blew off female's legitimate opposition to competing against men in women-only events.
In other words, Lovett and Miller are two of countless progressive gay men who still stridently defend gender identity ideology and kick down at sex realists and their critiques of the phenomenon.
I responded by posting the following quotation from J.K. Rowling in the comments to yesterday's episode of The Bulwark podcast. As you and your readers are bound to know, Rowling is the TERF American liberals and progressives like to hate. I wish I had been keeping track of the non-political and otherwise unobjectionable podcasts where the host or a guest will bring up J.K. Rowling because the result is always the same. There is an almost ritualistic acknowledgement on the part of those present that Rowling is a terrible human being. Then the conversation moves on. It is reminiscent of the way little boys of a certain age make a show of letting each other know just how icky girls are. To think otherwise would be grounds for exile from boyland. Without further ado, this is what I pasted into my comment:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Women like me, and there are a lot of us, aren't and never have been far-right. We simply want the left to wake the hell up, because we're watching it do its utmost to alienate people it used to represent. I'm not saying Trump's win was down to the gender stuff - I'm not an American voter, so can't judge.
In any case, the Labour Party won the last UK election and they've embraced gender identity ideology whole-heartedly (although they won against a Tory government so enfeebled and unpopular it would have been miraculous if they hadn't, and their popularity since gaining office has plummeted.)
What I do know is that millions of women in the UK and across the developed world are extremely angry about men in women's sport, men in women's jails and the erosion of single-sex spaces. Parents are angry at being demonised because they don't want their troubled kids to undergo irreversible medical treatments of extremely questionable benefit. People are sick to the back teeth of being bullied and threatened for refusing to embrace an elitist, academia-generated ideology that's having severe real world consequences.
Large swathes of the left continue to be threatening and abusive to anybody who resists their attempts to impose ideological language or bully them out of wrongthink. Leftist activists jeer and sneer at erstwhile female allies for the crime of believing biological sex is real and matters.
And leftist leaders still appear more interested in sucking up to gender activists than - to take a topical example in the UK - female nurses whose crime is not wanting to undress in front of a fully intact male.
So to those screaming 'bigot' and 'fascist' at me, you should know two things. Firstly, I'm completely indifferent to your disapproval, as I'd have thought you'd have realised by now. Secondly, and far more importantly, the only thing more harmful to your cause than your pseudo-religious belief in gender identities is your astounding, self-righteous arrogance.
-- J.K. Rowling

It could be that I posted after most subscribers had read the piece. I would not object at all if the lack of blowback is a sign readers concurred. Somehow, I think that is doubtful.
