What is the Rainbow Cult? In short another theory that is
more then likely to get me in trouble. It refers to a portion of the LGBT
community.
There is a portion of the LGBT community that likes to have
the world believe that everything in the community is all rainbows and
butterflies except when it comes to the acceptance of the rest of society. If
you are part of this community and do not except it you are not doing all you
can to further the LGBT progress of being excepted. To this I call bullshit.
The people in the LGBT community are exactly that people.
They are prone to being misinformed just like anyone else. Just because you are
LGBT which is a club that people don't actually decide to join (much like one
does not decide to be white). Each letter has it's own fanatics and you may not
even realize it until you set down and get to know them. These fanatics are the
ones who are the ones I have dumbed the Rainbow Cult. So before I get jumped if
you are LGBT it does not mean you are a rainbow cult member.
What kind of fanatics or differences am I talking about? Well
lets start with the theory of you have to do it our way or you're not doing it
right. Should be self explanatory. My response to this is simple “Wake the hell
up.” We are all different and have had different upbringings, different thought
processes, we also have different obstacles that have been thrown our way.
Rather then saying someone should do it your way why not help them find the way
that works best for them. Members of our community are not popped out from a
cookie cutter pattern. Your's is not the only way.
Now the in fighting with in the letters. For some strange
reason there are Ls and Gs who seem to have and Issue with the Bs and the Ps
(pan sexual). Why? I'm glad you asked. The Ls and Gs often side with straight
people and seem to feel that the Bs and Ps need to get off the fence. Sighting
that they are greedy or that they have a greater chance of not being faithful.
I call bull because even if this were true there are always outliers. I myself
am pan sexual and have been married twice and divorced twice. My sexual
preference is not the reason it didn't not work. In fact in the first marriage it
was my partner who was unfaithful. The second it was me beinging trans and
other issues that brought the walls crashing down. In fact if I'm in a declared
relationship no matter the gender I am completely monogamous unless the rules
of the relationship declare otherwise.
Now the Ts which have their own set of prejudice. I have
witnessed how some trans seem to believe in a trans hierarchy which I don't buy
into. At the bottom of the list is cross-dressers and gender-benders. These are
often looked at as weekend warriors and having a lack of commitment or reducing
the trans community to a joke. They are living their lives as they see fit and
are comfortable with dressing as gender that does not align with their birth
sex on occasion. There are trans-gender individuals who are those who may or may not have had
hormones yet and attempt to (or hopefully succeed) live in the gender that does
not align with their birth sex. They are another group which is looked at as
not having the commitment they should have as trans individuals. See previous
comment on cross-dressers. In addition some of these people have no choice
because of financial restraints which make hormones and definitely surgery out
of the question.
Last but not least, because they are at the top of the
hierarchy, the transsexuals. They come in two categories; pre-op and post-op. This means one has had
genital reassignment surgery or not. This according to some of them at the top
should be the end goal. Even they have issues with each other. The main issue
being when post-op transsexuals go and become stealth. What is stealth? SOOO
glad you asked. Stealth is when an individual completely assimilates into their
new gender role. Sometimes this means they cut ties with their past and worse
the community, unless they fit into the Ls, Gs, Bs, or Ps. These ones, transsexuals both pre and post,
appear to be where most of the judgment amongst trans people. Even though some post try to work
themselves out of the Rainbow Cult and into the world of hetro-normative
society.
Remember that I said there were outliers. I hope these I have
stated are the case. However the Rainbow Cult will have you believe that they
don't exist because if you knew the Rainbow agenda would fall apart and you
would see they are not all perfect. So to the Rainbow Cult I say get the fuck
down off your high horse and join society.
