    Hmm that’s true, I suppose constant sabotage of LGBT legislation would explain why the movement would be so vocal.

    It doesn’t really explain the UK though because I don’t think there’s too much opposition to queerness in society there, even among conservatives. It’s possible that culture war rhetoric was imported from the US space as a political tool, because when I lived there previously in 2017, saying pronouns was not a thing yet.

    Otherwise I live in the Czech Republic where although people have quite an egalitarian attitude towards sexuality (so the laws are quite relaxed) the culture itself is still relatively conservative. It just really isn’t a topic here though
