Heterosexual woman here. We are fed up to back teeth and support you. When I challenged my employer especially “ during pride month” they were so predictable and tried to double down with LGBTQIA plus awareness and I told them they were being discriminatory and putting themselves at risk then explained the equality act- an idiots guide. I know others have done this as well. Just know your stuff and speak politely and knowledgeably without emotion if you can.
I think it would be really useful to show some role plays of people doing this. With the relevant parts of the Act highlighted. With the masked nutters at Bristol representing their side it is doing them a favour

Thank you for a beautiful article.
Chemically castrated with advanced prostate cancer here.
I will stand by as an ally with you until the day I die. And this is the hill I am going to die on, for I have no time for pseudo intellectual, science denial, nor attacks on some of my best friends.
"Puberty blockers" are the same drugs used to castrate me chemically. Their effects are by no mean benign. not even a little bit. and after two years become irreversibly damaging. Oncologists know this but appear not to want to share this knowledge with the gender borg.
Straight dad here: this situation is awful and people like you are heroes. You are also a hell of a good writer, and there's a bravery in repeatedly baring your soul the way you do.
It's been horrible watching sanctimonious "woke" idiots roll back all the advances, and do so in a way almost guaranteed to cause a backlash to LGB folks.
Thanks to cancel culture - which my friends say doesn't exist, the proof being nobody will argue with them when they say it - all I can do to help is toss money at crowd funders and tackle some of this crap when it comes up in private. It pains me to admit that that's not much better than thoughts and prayers...
I grew up with such gay men - witty, articulate, educated, wise (not that they were well behaved), well presented, and very protective to young women in particular, straight or lesbian. The garish queens don't hold a candle to their humanity, and the queer lot appear to have no idea what tolerance consists of. This diversity orthodoxy and it's internal illogic of 'me first' is actually heartbreaking to see, but before they disappear in a puff up their own rabbit holes, we need to undermine the ridiculous notion that straight geezers in frocks constitute a special case of oppression. The kids meanwhile, do not seem to be alright.
Oh, Dennis. Your writing sears right into my being, every time. What you say here beautifully, painfully and with breathtaking eloquence, distills the semi -formed thoughts that have for some time been circulating in my mind. I understood and recognised this castration and reduction of gay men to grotesque prancing parodies of perceived womanhood, but groped around for the right words. Thank you for formulating these observations and fears into such powerful words. As a woman I see the Borg doing the same to my kind with their performative interpretation of what they perceive Woman to be. The repulsive displays this last weekend in Bristol couldn't have been more performative of their beloved stereotypes. 'Suck my dick' said no woman, ever.
"Sexual orientation" was universally understood as normal and diverse for that one hot minute, but then it became "right wing hate speech" to refer to sex as a thing that might orient people. We are supposed to find "genders" attractive now but frankly the process is so confusing that I don't even want to bother dating anymore. Take the stereotypes you prefer to perform, multiply by a function of hair color plus haircut, divide by infinite navel gazing, and the astrologer decides which microgender will work for you? I'd rather stay in, thanks. At least with the old-fashioned dating and matchmaking services, you just said "straight" or "gay" or "lesbian" or "bisexual" and got busy. These Gender Puritans didn't just make sex verboten, they've made it boring.
I've been saying for a few years that the media rarely shows masculine homosexuals. They always run for the drag queens or the flamboyant boys. I don't have a problem with them, but it shows only a portion of the men who are homosexuals in society. They want people to believe that's all homosexuals can be. Now, they simply want to erase gay men and lesbians. I feel that we took a giant step back without wanting to do so. In their minds, it's back to the closet homos.
Your writing is so brilliantly powerful; I just wish you didn’t have to write about the things you do.
I’ve just been in a meeting at work appealing to leadership that the promotion of transgender is to the detriment of our gay and lesbian young people. Hoping that the evidence of harm caused will make them see sense.
Another fine and very upsetting piece. It made me think … of gay men like Tchaikovsky and Wittgenstein … and so many other extraordinary gay and lesbian people whose gifts gave humanity something immeasurable despite their struggles. How debasing to reduce them or any gay or lesbian human to exhibitionist and over-sexualised stereotyping, and to disappear them into gender soup. You are right to be so angry and despairing.
Castrate the males before they get their adult bodies. Remove the barely budding breasts of the females and create frankenstein appendages by mutilating their arms or legs.
Render them both childlike.
That is the punishment for being gay/lesbian.
For Women who shout out against all this, silence them by un-naming them. Hand the rightful sex based names of Female/Women/Girl; Mother, Sister, Aunt, Daughter, Wife to the cabal of men appropriating womenhood for their own sexual gratification.
We, formerly known as females and women, are now referred to by demeaning and dehumanising sexual body parts and functions.
To be un-nameable means we cannot be protected by the law, yet are still subject to it.
Lastly, criminalise anyone who disagrees and ensure education teaches the young how to lie.

Beautifully and powerfully said, thank you Dennis.

The best yet Dennis - more raw visceral power now!
Brilliant penmanship, bringing an honest heartbreaking…..message…..it’s also personal

This this this.
Homophobia - both males and females.
Castrate the males before they get their adult bodies. Remove the barely budding breasts of the females and create frankenstein appendages by mutilating their arms or legs.
Render them both childlike.
That is the punishment for being gay/lesbian.
For Women who shout out against all this, silence them by un-naming them. Hand the rightful sex based names of Female/Women/Girl; Mother, Sister, Aunt, Daughter, Wife to the cabal of men appropriating womenhood for their own sexual gratification.

Rousing stuff. This straight ally backs you all the way.
