yeah, its satire. im not mocking LGBT people, im mocking the ridiculously long acronym they came up with. I mean, if we extend your logic to the other side of the political spectrum, mocking any of any republican's opinions with satire could be seen as some sort of hate. And yes, i dont want to learn a growing amount of gender identities and sexualities and pronouns (or whatever they are now) purely on the basis that it's probably never going to matter to me or the people i surround myself with, ever.
ok sure, fair point, but why lump together the LGB (referring to attraction) and the TQIAA++... (sexual identity)? seems like an unnecessary conjunction to me tbh. Also, reclaimed slurs arent necessarily a bad thing, the Star of David was a reclaimed slur used by Germany during ww2, but now its on the flag of israel (which im not going into on the basis of i like my skull with the current amount of holes it currently has, no more no less)
tbh, im a bit confused abt this. Not abt u guys specifically, you're probably great people and all that, but about the mass expansion of the LGBT community. Like in my country, one in 25 people are LGBT now, which is kinda odd, since around 2019 i think it was closer to one in 100. if this demographic trend goes on, doesnt this become less of a freedom of identity issue and more of a population issue? some basic demographic knowledge tells me that, couple this with birth rates similar/below the replacement rate, and this becomes an issue of the people currently fighting for this LGBT stuff not being able to afford a pension, and by extension retirement, because there just wont be enough money from younger population groups. That said, pls tell me if im wrong/overexaggerating
There are many reasons why birth rates are dropping in wealthier countries; people being gay is by far not the main reason. Couples have children at higher ages, they have careers and less time for children, having children is no longer needed to be taken care off when you're old, etc. At the same time, gay people can adopt children in some countries or they can have children through surrogate mothers, so I don't think it is homosexuality that changes much there.
This isn't the fault of the LGBT community, that's the fault of straight people. Besides, we're going to hit 10 billion humans on the planet within a decade or two anyway. Seems like a mute issue. Another thing is that bisexual people make up the majority of the community, and bisexual people can have babies regardless.
actually, there does seem to be a correlation between countries which have been deemed more LGBT accepting and countries with a declining birth rate, if you exclude china and russia, which have a declining birth rate for reasons regarding poor leadership either during ww2 or regarding female children. also, isnt saying the planet will hit 10 billion in a decade or two a bit of an overgeneralisation? most of the high birth rate countries are far outside the west, largely in Africa or south asia. doesn't that kinda mean that, if you want to keep your population able enough to support you when you grow old, you have to accept a bunch of immigrants into your country, which would have a good potential to replace the local culture with their own if the numbers grow large enough, which they may have to? And even if Bi people are the majority of the population, that still means its roughly a coin toss whether or not they get with someone of the opposite gender anyways, so thats still roughly 50% of the LGBT Gene pool gone in that regard. and isnt this problem a good bit worse for most people playing this game? from what i can tell, a large amount of people here are american, and your LGBT population is 11%. Even assuming they were ALL bi, which theyre not, and assuming that all bi people are attracted to both genders equally (which i assume is the point of being bi, but correct me if im wrong) thats still 5.5% of the gene pool, just gone. Keep in mind other parts of the LGBT probably increase that statistic (same-sex oriented people, aka gay & lesbian). couldn't that be an issue in the future if the trend increases, which it has been doing largely since at least 2020?
Wow, it's not like when LGBT+ people feel more safe to be openly gay, that they choose to be openly gay. What a weird thought...
Additionally regarding your population issue thing; just because you are part of the LGBT+ community does not mean that you will not contribute to the birth rate. Bisexual people exist too.
And just my own thought here too; you are wondering if 1/25 will affect the birthrate negatively, the fu*k are the 24/25 people doing? Aka this is much less of an issue with the LGBT+ community and much more of an societal issue.
Oh no, she unveiled my boat fetish.
Aye, it's a correlation but not a causation. Populations in develop societies are heading towards a negative trend; but as the LGBT+ community make up less than 1% of the population, it's hardly fair to give them all the credit.
It's mostly because people don't want children as much. A lot of couples prefer fur-babies to actual babies.
(Bold italics my emphasis)
Two comments: First, if you cherry-pick any data set enough, you can make it say whatever you want. There's a difference between massaging data and torturing it until it confesses. (Why Russia and China have declining populations is a subject for another discussion.)
Second, yes, there's a correlation, and it's probably causal: "Western" societies tend to be more tolerant, which means not only more people will acknowledge different orientations (etc) but also because those societies have legal access to contraception and abortion. As 
Great Altera notes, it turns out that given a choice, many people just don't want kids, even beyond questions of cost and so on.
Many more people, given a choice, don't want as many kids. A common American family goal is to have a boy and a girl. That's easy with a combination of contraception and IVF. But exactly two kids is below the replacement rate of about 2.1 kids. So even that "All American" family will cause the US population to fall.
Nhoor, Yursea, Great Altera, and Corkair
youre using the global average, which includes places like afghanistan or iran or palestine, and trust me, if you're a gay person in Iran, lets just say, you wont be for very long. The population in america is 11%, unless ive been lied to by google
all your points i agree with, except the last one. The whole "all american" family, usually has two kids or more, that or more is very important cuz the people having 3-4 or more than that bring the birth rate above the replacement rate. Also, its not really cherrypicking, its kinda because russia lost some fifth of their population in ww2 and china decided it was a good idea to yeetus the fetus
not saying the 1/25 are the ONLY factor, just saying it could BE a factor. Also in america, thats now over 1/10 now
and the whole bi thing i accounted for, see other post
and Ireland was already pretty LGBT accepting BEFORE 2020, we just weren't making a giant song and dance of it like we are now (not saying its a necessarily bad thing, just saying its kinda hard to avoid, so its gonna influence people)
doesn't america have a cap on how many visas they can grant each year, something to the tune of 700,000? and theoretically, since america is such a populous country, couldn't the birth rate pretty easily drop below -700,000 a year? doing the math, thats only -0.2% per annum, which it already has in many central and eastern european countries, like germany, romania, and russia? Again, with the mass availability of child prevention services (i wont delve into details cuz controversy) and a lot of americans choosing not to have kids, sexuality or otherwise, couldnt that become a big depopulation issue?
Again, making the low birthrates the fault of the LGBT+ community is really going nowehere, when most of the population that chooses not to procreate is not gay.
And no, having more LGBT+ exposure is not going to influence people. This is like basic logic. If you can influence someone's sexuality, why do you think queer people exist? By far most of my family, friends, media, everything that have been around is cis and straight. Then why am I not cis or straight? Then why is basically anyone gay or queer or whatever as by far most of our surroundings are not queer?
Both nations are currently losing people, as in right now. It turns out that any Russian who can flee being used as part of a human wave against machine-gun and artillery fire either has done so or is trying to. Europe has taken in a lot of Russia's best and brightest, so in addition to raw population loss, Russia has a huge brain drain.
And the remaining people aren't so happy being some of Vlad the Impaler's "little playings", per the NS definition of a psychotic dictatorship. So, they're variously drinking themselves to death and/or not having kids.
China, on the other hand, is carrying out genocide against the Uighurs, which doesn't exactly help population growth. And many of the young people in the more populous ethnic groups (Han, Manju, etc) are tired of the rat race and giving up, part of which is not having kids. See the "lying flat" (tang ping) and "let it rot" (bai lian) movements: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tang_ping
That's not so much "can grant" as "chooses to grant". The US can, and has, taken in many more immigrants every year that it does currently. 700k is pretty close to the number of legal new admissions to the US (work visa, student visa, resident alien, etc), but some people already here in those categories apply for and earn American citizenship. So, looking at the stats for the last few years, the actual legal immigration rate, which includes both new people entering the US, and existing people becoming citizens, is between 1.5M and 2.0M people per year.
See: https://ohss.dhs.gov/topics/immigration/yearbook for official information. I remain amazed at how much better informed one can be about a topic with something like five minutes' online searching.
Illegal immigration is another matter entirely, and generally thought to be much larger.
Is there someone that I can be enemy with in the Southern Sea ?
This is the same reason why "hate the sin, love the sinner" is almost if not more toxic and hateful than outright rejection. You are directly attacking someone's fundamental identity of themselves as a person, not their opinions or beliefs about a subject. Hopefully you can see a bit difference there. This is a subject I could go much more in depth into, but that would be better served through telegram rather than here on the RMB
You really don't have to learn much of anything you don't already know. If someone comes up to you and says "My name is Mark, nice to meet you" you can make a fair assumption as to how to address them. If their voice is surprisingly high pitched and they happen they have longer hair, you might have assumed they were female at first, but if they say "sorry, I get that a lot, but I am a guy" you now know how to interact with Mark and how to refer to him. Almost everyone is willing to politely correct people who may not have known something. If you are told the correct way to do something and decide you know better and you think his name is actually Samantha? That's your fault
Neopronouns and 40 genders is not something you will really ever run into outside of certain corners of the internet. The vast, vast, vast, vast majority of people will identify as male, female, or neither in particular, and prefer to use He/She/They depending on preference. These are words you already use. You likely don't need to worry about whatever aergender means for the 12 people who identify as it, much like I don't need to worry about the difference between southern baptist and pentecostal when I'm casually talking to someone who identifies as Christian
As for why the LGBT umbrella contains several different types of identification? Simple, they're all part of self identity and have, traditionally, been marginalized, threatened, and subjugated by society for the crime of... being harmlessly different than others
Reclaimed slurs aren't necessarily a bad thing, but it's perfectly acceptable to not want to associate yourself with a term that was used to marginalize and "other" people like you
If you want something interesting to look at, I suggest reading about the rise in left-handedness over time. I'll let you draw your own conclusions from it, but it does seem to mirror the decline in children being abused for being left-handed
