This article reminds me vibe wise a little of the whole "Trans people are responsible for the closing of gay/lesbian bars." thing. Like I am sorry, why is it my fault that my gay friends don't feel comfortable in the establishments where their trans partners and buddies are hassled, dissed and generally not allowed to go and just chill and just be? It's in the favor of the bar owners to invite more people in to spend money than to play games that shut people out. It's not like little forums online that will be there as long as somebody shows up. If brick and mortar locations don't make enough to keep the lights on they close.
If my buddies want me to wingman we're going to the trans inclusive places where we all feel safe and your bar withering isn't our problem. Good luck finding a MAGA friendly gay bar.
