I support LGBTQ rights and protections.

I also think that gender stereotyping and categorization are unhelpful and sadly prevalent everywhere.  Empathetic boys and energetic girls shouldn't be made to think that they are gay or that they were born in the wrong bodies.  Empathy and energy aren't rationed by chromosomes.

I bought "The Antidote for Everything," by Kimmery Martin, on Saturday and finished it last night.  It was nice to read a book by someone who is logical and humane and who can turn a phrase without overdoing it.  People who would like an introduction to the personal and professional catastrophes that can result from discriminatory legislation and business administrations should read this book.

My support for equal opportunity for everyone does not extend to being mistreated by anyone.  Me Too, which was dismantled by the Democratic Party for its own political gain as quickly as it had been co-opted by the Democratic Party, never supported male survivors of sexual assault as much as it should have.  There were a few discussions of the sexual abuse of men by other men in the entertainment industry, but not as many as there are actual incidents of this type of abuse.  It is also a terrible problem in the military.

Unfortunately, male survivors of sexual abuse are at the crux of cultural norms that shame them for being victimized and also fear of adding stigma and stereotyping to gay men.  Male survivors of sexual abuse are supported by neither the left nor the right.  They are men in no man's land.
