you're dismissing the issues of lgbt because of the minority that acts like loving dipstuffs and whores attention out of it?

Not the issues, I'm dismissing the movement itself, you can still be for things such as gay rights and gay marriage and exclude yourself from that movement, no one's forcing you to be a part of it.
For instance I support some things that Annoying Orange says, but I don't support the man himself, I used to early on in the election cycle, but after more things have unfolded I've just stopped giving a stuff about him, but the ideals that I shared with him and agreed on are still prominent.

But I don't think any of them are saying, "give women more rights than men." Do you have any examples of feminists doing that?

well of course none of them will say it word for word but this is an accurate representation of what I'm referring to

It's no more subsidized than anything else, and the procedures are so rare anyway that the cost is negligible. Should we cut surgeries for people with obesity-related complications since they just ate themselves sick? Or should we deny lung transplants to people who smoked until their lungs fell apart? Applying these weird kinds of moral dualities to medical issues is a seriously dangerous slippery slope.

See, my only beef with this is that the phrase 'top feminist' means literally nothing. Feminism is a decentralized social movement, meaning there's no central authority telling feminists what to do/believe. So just because one feminist thinks one thing does not imply that any other feminist thinks the same.
For instance, let's say a top Republican politician has gone on the record as advocating for conversion therapy as a treatment for homoloveuality: a procedure that often involves electric shocks. Does that mean all Republicans think we should electrocute gays? Of course not. The vast majority of them would never advocate for that.

Because you lose organs? That seems like a malformed definition of 'harmful' when we're talking about surgery.

Hes even been preaching about protecting the LGBT community from a "hateful and foreign ideology" (gee wonder what that could be)
So if anything hes a pretty pro-LGBT republican

He preaches about protecting everything, even groups that he's planning to forget over. Also, that flag is totally upside down btw.

Life saving surgery =/= wanting to be something you are not.

Maybe not the best brown townogy, let me try again - if someone is born with a deviated septum and is in constant discomfort, but it won't kill them, should their insurance not cover treatment?
