It's the alphabetnumeric soup movement. Pick a letter or number - any letter or number - and someone somewhere has shoved it into the "+" part of LGB+.

I object to the fact that this is latin only, as Cyrillic user I find this discriminatory!
But seriously, SS sounds like Special Snowflake.
Which the majority of these alphabet soup crybabies appear to be.
They need to whore for attention.
We really need to make spanking and other corporial punishments for brats great again.
Thst will beat the attention whore out of em early.
This is what happens when you have too many entitled idiots with no real problems who think that their miserable existence is relevant to the rest of humanity.
I knew queer theory was bullshit, but I had no idea it was this fucked and insidious. Thanks so much for sharing.

This is a screenshot of the chart shown in the video. It is directly from Kinsey's book "Sexual Behavior In The Human Male". Look at the ages. How was he was allowed to conduct this research and publish? He was funded by the Rockefeller Foundation.

Two major news stories, both in favor of Trans, today.
Supreme Court declines appeal from Christian school fighting transgender housing
At issue was a 2021 Biden administration memo that interpreted a federal anti-discrimination housing law as protecting transgender Americans.

The first one, the important one IMO, is fortunately just a lower court ruling that can and will be appealed.
The other one isn't 'new', I'd say. It's clearly a corollary of Bostock, which held that discrimination on sexual orientation or transitioning is necessarily sex discrimination. Interestingly, I'm not sure if the logic applies to discriminating against just the non-binary or just the bisexuals, as long as you are okay with either side (i.e. gays an straights are okay, not bisexuals, or Cis and Trans are okay, but not NB's). There's also some major carve outs in the ruling relating to bathrooms and religious places, maybe a few others.
Bostock also means that if you get called cis a crapton at your workplace, that could now (anytime past about june 2021 or 2020, I forget which) be workplace discrimination.
EDIT: Re the first case: I read the legal arguments, and most of them I don't buy. A state is allowed to ban conversion therapy for minors, and to the extent this means sexual orientation conversion therapy and not gender, I'm pretty confident it's a good thing (it's a) psuedo scientific, with the only "success" being a deadening of sexual desire in general by associating it with bad stuff, not a swap towards the other sex, and b) abusive, in that it causes harm to the child).
Using that as a guide, let's look at the 3 arguments the court uses. The first is an equal protection argument, which relies on it being sex based discrimination. This isn't sex based discrimination, it applies to everyone. One could make a similar argument re:conversion therapy. The second was a due process argument, which is more plausible because the prohibition is so broad. But so is the prohibition on other procedures. Finally, there's the free speech problem in regards to doctor referrals. This I buy. The language in the law is pretty loose, and 'refer' can mean a bunch of stuff that hits speech and isn't just a formal doctor referral. They should tighten up this language to improve the bill (the argument presented by Arkansas was "but we were only referring to the formal referrals", but I tend not to trust anything said about a law but not in the law).

So, a regular guy who happens to be gay versus a weirdo that represents what Groomers United basically is?

Pretty much. The regular guy's giant incredulous grin is also priceless.

It didn't really start out that way. Piers Morgan is a left-leaning political talking head hosts the show Piers Morgan Uncensored. He's just not that left-leaning which has gotten him in trouble with the Establishment in the past.
Honestly well worth a watch but as a TL;DR: The episode was to discuss the musician Sam Smith, a fat-positive non-binary who has a history of things like dressing up as Satan, but mostly wearing almost nothing and doing "sexy" dances. Probably his most famous moment was at a Seattle concert where he ran out wearing a ninja turtle costume and tried to crowdsurf, and seeing a quarter ton of lard about to fall on them, the crowd parted like the Red Sea in front of Moses and let him splat.
The guests were Bill Murray, a mostly-centrist political commentator who happens to be gay and "comedian" James Barr (Pinkshirt) who is, well, very SJW and his "comedy" routine consists of telling you his pronouns, making sure you know he's gay, and then wokescolding you.
Through the video Barr keeps getting irritated and them not using "they" for Smith and insisting that it's hate speech when, f'rex, Murray points out that dancing sexy and pretending to worship Satan were subversive and shocking forty years ago and Smith's routine is old hat now. Barr manages to hit all the usual talking points (You must want to F&*^$ him if you're talking about his body that much! You're being homophobic! It's disgusting!) and all of it fails because first the guy doesn't have a moderator in his corner who will throw the banhammer at people arguing with him, and second because Barr's too dumb to realize he's insisting an openly gay guy who's been openly gay for the last 25 years is homophobic.
Favorite quotes:
"they are mistaking their sexuality for some massively important signifier which demands other people respect them and pay them special dues. You're not a celebrity, you're just gay."
Barr: "I hate you Douglas!"
Murray: "I've never heard of you mate."

A prominent trans activist has been sentenced for the 2016 triple homicide of a California lesbian couple and their son. Dana Rivers, born David Chester Warfield, has been handed a life sentence without the possibility of parole.
"It is a horrible thing to sentence someone to die in prison, and I don't take that lightly," Judge Scott Patton said during the court hearing held today. "But this is the most depraved crime I ever handled in the criminal justice system in 33 years. Frankly, you deserve to spend the rest of your life in prison."
The sentencing comes months after Rivers, 68, had been found guilty of the murders in November of last year. Rivers was denied a motion for a new trial, though his attorney had attempted to argue prosecutorial misconduct. Judge Patton dismissed the issues raised, labeling them "trivial" and "frankly quite ridiculous," while noting that the evidence for Rivers' guilt was "overwhelming."
Rivers' crimes date back to November 11 of 2016, when police were called in response to the sound of gunshots being fired outside the home of lesbian couple Patricia Wright and Charlotte Reed in Oakland, California. When authorities arrived, they found Rivers covered in blood and gasoline and fleeing from the house, which had been set ablaze.
When discovered by police, Rivers had been heading towards his black Harley Davidson motorcycle, which was parked outside of the home with the keys left in the ignition. When police searched the Harley, which Rivers affectionately referred to as "Barbie," they found blood on the bike and a bloody knife in its saddlebag.
A further search of Rivers' person revealed that he was in possession of a bloody screwdriver, a knife, brass knuckles, bullets, pepper spray and an iPod belonging to Wright's son, Benny, according to court documents.

Examiners found that Charlotte Reed had been stabbed and bludgeoned dozens of times in addition to having gunshot wounds. Her partner, Patricia Wright, had been shot twice, and her son, Benny Diambu-Wright, who had just graduated from Berkeley High School, had been shot in the heart. The bodies of Wright, Reed, and Diambu-Wright were found inside the burning wreckage. Rivers was quickly taken into custody and booked at the Alameda County jail where he has remained since.
According to police reports, Rivers "began to make spontaneous statements about [his] involvement in the murders" while being arrested. Rivers ultimately confessed to killing the two women and their son, but entered a plea of not guilty on charges of triple homicide in 2017.
The case had first been set for trial in 2019, but was repeatedly delayed in order to accommodate an investigation into Rivers' mental health. The trial finally began on October 31, 2022.
Victims Patricia Wright [L], Benny Diambu-Wright [C], and Charlotte Reed [R].
Prosecutor Abigail Mulvihill of the Alameda County district attorney's office wrote in a trial brief that Reed had first met Rivers at the Veterans Affairs Center in Menlo Park in 2016. The year before, Rivers had joined an "all-female" motorcycle gang called The Deviants, which had ties to Hell's Angels, according to court testimony. Rivers was referred to as the "enforcer" of the gang, and he used the pseudonym "Edge."
In February of 2016, Charlotte Reed began spending time with The Deviants, but she decided to leave after three months because it "became too political for her," according to court records.
After she left the club, Reed began to experience threats against her safety. The trial brief presented by Mulvihill claims that "there was backlash from the club for her departure," and a friend of Reed's recalled seeing Rivers "just sitting and staring at Ms. Reed" on one occasion at the Menlo Park.
Mulvihill's trial brief also states that Reed's daughter told police that she had become afraid that Rivers "wanted to hurt her mother."
Prior to the slayings, Rivers was a prominent trans activist known for fighting against "gender discrimination."
Rivers gained notoriety in 1999 after he was fired from Center High School in Sacramento County, California, for openly discussing his "sexuality and the importance of gender self-determination" in class with students.
A 2010 Twitter Post by Dana Rivers.
Members of the Center Unified School Board who voted for Rivers' dismissal argued that the decision had nothing to do with his gender identity. They instead cited concerns for the rights of parents, some of whom had complained to the school administrators that Rivers had been discussing inappropriate and sexual aspects of his 'transition' with students.
According to a 1999 article in The New York Times, one parent stated that Rivers had told the children he had been "sodomized as a youth and that he always felt he was a woman trapped in a man's body and that he was going to be changing into a woman in the fall. He should have gotten permission from the parents to say this."
Following the administration's decision not to renew his employment, Rivers subsequently initiated a widely-publicized discrimination lawsuit that launched his career as a trans activist and resulted in a compensatory award of $150,000. He appeared on the Today Show and Good Morning America, and had even been profiled in the New York Times, quickly elevating his profile as a respected LGBT advocate.
Rivers was a keynote speaker for the National Center for Lesbian Rights as well as for The Tiffany Club, an organization founded to promote the political interests of those with "gender confusion."
Rivers also spoke as a guest lecturer at several universities, including Stanford and UC Davis, and served as a Board Member for the International Foundation for Gender Education (IFGE).
Upon the announcement of Rivers' sentencing today, women's rights advocate Kara Dansky took to Twitter to celebrate the news, writing "for now, justice has prevailed."
Dansky noted reports that the mood in the courtroom had been "intense and dramatic," and that the judge had allegedly sent Rivers to San Quentin, a men's prison, for processing.
But under current California law, Rivers will likely find his way into a women's correctional institution due to his legal sex being "female."
California has one of the most liberal gender self-identification policies in the country, something that has become a point of contention for women's rights advocates.
S.B-132, also known as the Transgender Respect, Agency, and Dignity Act, was signed into effect in January of 2021 by California Governor Gavin Newsom. The law provides inmates housing based on their self-declared gender identity status.
Almost immediately after the legal guideline went into effect, California correctional centers were hit with hundreds of transfer requests from male inmates seeking movement into women's facilities.
The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation has previously confirmed to Reduxx that prison transfer requests are based entirely off of a Gender Identity Questionnaire that could be issued during reception or requested by the inmate at any time during their incarceration.

The Questionnaire is form with a short series of questions in which inmates can declare their pronouns, honorifics, and gender identity.
Male inmates do not need to identify as transgender to request transfer, and can simply identify gender non-conforming, or non-binary.
Last year, Reduxx reported that a pedophile who had molested a 4-year-old girl had been moved to the California Institution for Women despite having been denied a gender and name change, and still legally being a male.
