How does 'woke liberal' erase anything? It is simply a label to separate modern 'progressive' authoritarian liberal from mainstream 90s liberal.

It doesn't erase anything.

I'm actually a JoJo fan, but she is incredibly brittle shelled at times due to her upbringing. Woke 'liberalism' definitely also plays into this because it as an ideology teaches that there is social power in being seen as the victim. People are more complex than just boiling them down to 'gay or 'straight'.

If that kind of honest discussion is 'erasure' to you, then I guess we are never gonna agree on that so ok.

Straight people are under no obligation to allow themselves to be bullied into silence by the weaponisation of fake offence.

As you said yourself before, they are allowed an opinion. Gay people don't get to silence or control them, any more than the LGBT+ community should be silenced.

Whether you think it's 'classy' or not is another matter, but you are allowed to think whatever you want about it ofc

This is untrue.

It's not that they have 'too much', it's how a lot of the more radicalised side of LGBT+ choose to use it that causes many on the receiving end of it to push back.

Many now have the rope and just want to use it to whip straight people with it as a revenge. I don't blame many straight people for not wanting to put up with that.
