    Is ignorance a national sport in the West? Organise, rally people, strike, protest, annoy the shit out of lawmakers who threaten you.

    Gather a big force that could potentially organise a big riot.

    Sun Tzu said:

    Subjugating the enemy’s army without fighting is the true pinnacle of excellence.

    That means you, most likely, won’t have to actually riot, if they see the community is organised they won’t risk a direct confrontation and would give in to your demands.

    There are tons, tons of guides online on how to protest, organise, even how to go full guerilla. Just do not let your existance depend on a freaking vote.

      Ignorance? I’m well aware of the methods you’ve suggested, I was just wondering what exactly you were referring to when you said ‘fight for them’, and what you consider to be the most effective method.

      Unfortunately I don’t think it’s as effective as you think (at getting people to give into demands). Thousands of people protested after Liz Truss’ resignation asking for a general election last year. Rishi isn’t going to call a general election any earlier than he needs to because he knows the conservatives are likely to lose. That said, yes I do think protests are a good way to drum up support and encourage people to vote. Despite what you may think, voting is important.

        Those protests were so big I only found a single article about them. Protesting means doing at the very least what the French were doing. Block roads, wreck havoc, make transphobes disappear. Raising a big group of people would only work if they were organised and could, ahem, do something to the government.

        Voting is only impactful to a certain, little, extent, when the government tells LGBTQ community they don’t and/or shouldn’t exist and the plan to fight back is to vote harder then something isn’t right.
