How is it bandwagoning? I have interests in being a MAP and interests in being bi. I'm not saying exclusive MAPs have to fight for LGBT people, but I don't see the point in undermining progress in one area for the possibility of progress in another.
It’s fine that you have an interest in maintaining the status quo as a bisexual, but don’t presume that it’s the same interest for the majority of MAPs that, statistically speaking, are often heterosexual. And I think you’re missing his point since his point was that MAPs have nothing to gain from defending the LGBTQ+ lobby that you’re particularly fond of. No offence, but there’s no point in heterosexual MAPs defending a group that has no interest in them.
That's all very theoretical, in practical terms the issue hinges on whether marriage can give access to Visas. I don't see why straight people should be able to marry a person from another country and their partners get citizenships but gay and bisexuals can't do the same.
Because marriage was and has always been intended as a state institution with the single purpose of sexual reproduction in mind? No offence, but you have to be really obtuse to think that gay marriage wasn’t just the fags chasing after their ascendancy to normalhood which, while understandable, doesn’t really favor your point regarding MAPs needing to support the so-called LGBTQ+ “community”. And yes, the early gay rights movement was much more liberationist by virtue of being an off-shoot of the heterosexual free sex movement, so it’s not really theoretical.
Just because it's boring doesn't mean it does have practical implications. You could say the same thing about abortion, we might all be tired of it, but that doesn't change the impact it has on society.
The whole point is that any and all revolutionary or innovative energy found in the gay and trans lobbies has already been exhausted to no end to reify the status quo down to pedophobia, meaning that it’s unlikely for them to accept any new ideas, let alone from pro-C MAPs, as they become far more mediocre than the average paraphiliac pedi space which is situated on the Dee web, the space where most intellectual discourse at the cutting edge of society occurs anyway.
Going back to the example of abortion, I would say it’s pretty much inconsequential for anybody other than those without access to other contraceptive means. So yh, you should pick a better example mate.
Destroying the old and not doing anything to save it are different in my view. I think it's fine if you don't care what happens to LGBT people, but I don't see the point in looking forward to the regression of LGBT rights. I'm not convinced it will make the lives of MAPs easier. It seems more like a crab mentality to me.
I mean, are MAPs’ lives any easier now than in the 1950s, when only a few places had legal gay anal? I doubt it. In fact, the success of the gays and transes that you’re so fond of is heavily dependent upon the current pedophobic status quo. Unless you show actual results in convincing the nearest gay org to let you attend in the next pride parade as an openly bisexual MAP in a livestream, there’s no point in pretending that power in society isn’t a zero sum game.
Since MAPs don’t have any actual bargaining power, your chances of convincing anyone that MAPs should have rights beyond that of any typically closeted individual are close to null. Better to actively partake in efforts to drag down your opponents until they are actually willing to take your demands at face value due to their downward mobility, as opposed to hopelessly wordcel-ling your way into Soros’ OSF, von der Leyen and the Bilderberg group into making MAPs a protected class.
