And all of these protests that "they aren't really Christians" does not even define the problem; it wrings its hands over the harm done to the name of Christianity itself.
Wait. What is this about? Oh. Trans folk, LGBTQ+ folk? They'll have to wait. The Christians need to get their terms straightened out first.
People are already dying from this wave of legislation, but it is good to know that here, we will be certain of who the good Christians are, and who the bad.
The longest, most replied-to thread here is, as far as I can tell, focused on language and who owns words.
If someone is talking about what they are doing to support the LGBTQ+ people they know, or asking what they can do, or, I don't know, referring people to trans writers who have been grappling with the problem of violence against us for decades, I have not found them yet.
Recognizing a problem exists is a bit different than defining one. Defining requires problem solving techniques typically missing from the finger pointing mob mentality we often witness
We are good at defining the problem, not good at solving.

A few folks are actually adept at multitasking. Its not a zero sum issue
We can call out unChristlike behaviors snd support LGBQT. Issues at the same time, right? Right
I hope so.

I may have some ideas, though.
Is it your point that people should focus on what you think is most important first as a ticket to be allowed talk about they want to, next?

That is the human cunundrum! We witness this "failure" in daily life.
