There is a similar dynamic taking place with lesbians, and to some extent gays, being rewritten and claimed as non-binary or trans to support the gender identity cause. The false claim of trans being the catalyst for Stonewall being the most egregious.
That’s interesting. Brings to mind Dave Chapelle’s sketch about competing teams choosing celebrities in the “racial draft.” People want to claim their icons.
It’s not just claiming, but ownership that comes with territorial rights. It’s become like using the wrong pronouns if you don’t correctly acknowledge the right ownership group. In SF, it happens all the time.
