LGBTQ+ people just want to be able to live without being shunned, harassed, attacked, or even criminalized for merely existing.
Transgender people in particular just want to be able to live their life as the gender they identify as, which just happens to be different from the sex they were born as.
I struggle to see how any of that is asking for more than equality.
ive already stated that i am pro-freedom. but freedom is a double edged sword. if you start telling people what they can and cannot do with it, you can undermine the whole thing. when you start actively interfering in the lives of people who have done nothing to you (others may have, but you shouldn't take that out on every perceived threat), by flooding the in game chat for example, or getting certain likable members of the community banned through organized spamming to the support staff. that kind of thing sounds a lot like being attacked, and harrased, and bans, that sounds like criminalization. and im already being shunned by your ilk (not gay or trans people mind you, but by the political movement around it).
If you're going to fight evil, be careful you don't become the very evil you're fighting.
for the record i myself have and have supported gay family members, and i myself am bi. i have trans friends. ranging from moderate left to moderate right. none of us want to play the identity politics game.

cool that's one question answered
what demands do you think "they" are making of pgi that are unreasonable
im not the one that made the claim that they are making demands of pgi. all i have done is:
state my views on the matter.
rebuttal to pattonesque's quote, more stating my own views.
you respond asking for clarification about who "they" are.
i clarify.
that is the limit of my involvement in the thread.
(and the above too, sorry im getting spammed and answering them out of order and the forum software merged them in a weird way).
