In a world where idea evolution runs faster than ever, you can, if you’re a square old Right-Wing conservative, afford to raise an ironic eyebrow at how our ideological opponents on the Left are getting tangled up in their own ideas.

To wit the slow fading of lesbianism, as described in this article, Why Other Queers Are Stuffing Lesbians Back In The Closet. It seems that it’s just no longer cool to be a lesbian:

Herzog tells of a professor friend who mentioned to a campus colleague that she was lesbian. The woman “reacted like I’d confessed to being a Confederate Lost-Causer.” She was scolded that “the term is outdated and problematic, and I shouldn’t use it.”

Woah! A Confedrate Lost-Causer accusation? Welcome to the club, lady. Next up is you being called a Fascist, or just an outright Nazi!.

The problem is it’s a bit too bio-essentialist and exclusive. So this professor now keeps quiet about her sexuality among her leftist peers. In fact, she added ironically, “it’s like living in a second closet” now.

Apparently there has been a huge reduction in the number of Lesbian-exclusive bars in the USA: Alabama has the same number as California; one each.

None of this is much of a surprise in the wake of the onsalught of Trans bullshit. But there was one interesting fact that surprised me:

… people who identify as lesbian have much higher pregnancy rates than heterosexual women? It is true. One study among many explains, “Again, bisexual and lesbian teens were more likely in each region to report pregnancy histories than heterosexual peers.”

Another study examined the pregnancy rates of adult sexual-minority women [SMW], revealing the same thing….

In fact, the abortion and birth rates of non-heterosexually identified women is roughly twice that of the heterosexual population. That is a whole lot of baby-making sex going on among women who were supposedly “born lesbian.”

There’s some interesting explanations for this but beyond all the verbiage of professors it seems to boil down to woman being romantically attracted whereas men are body attracted. Who knew?

I did appreciate the following description as to the sad state of affairs that Lesbians have been reduced to in the early 21st century:

In the good old days, any self-respecting lesbian could tell a man who insisted on buying her a drink where he could go and be cheered a feminist hero for doing so. Today, if that same man wears a pencil skirt and claims to be trans, that lesbian becomes the worst person in the world.

And guess who is leading the pitchfork and torch brigade:

U.K. lesbian writer Claire Heuchan warns, “Everywhere you look, there are reminders of how little the safety and wellbeing of lesbian women is valued. We can’t seem to escape violence and vilification. Especially since, in recent months, a lot of it has come from within the LGBT communities we helped build. …[E]ven within LGBT spheres, where we are – at least theoretically – part of the community, lesbians are now being vilified.”

So the modern LGBT community are intolerant, bullying assholes? Again – who knew.
