That doesn't make any sense. 'Kinds of pleasures that define them as a group?' No, the same rights as everybody else. I think we'd need good reason to ban group-specific pleasures, obviously. I defend the right of Christians to have churches even if no-one else wants them. https://twitter.com/bloatmarm/status/943357472672272386 …

If they wanted the same rights as everyone else they would not be organizing into groups. Everyone is not a woman. Everyone is not a homosexual, or a black person, or a computer programmer.

Suppose fertility cultists were not allowed to have children. Would you organise in a group to demand the same rights to as everyone else? Or would you not bother because not everyone is a fertility cultist?

I would not organize political power to wield against everyone else for any reason but life and safety from harm. But no one is preventing black people from having children in America, unless you think family planning is equivalent. I don’t think it’s equivalent.

But let’s be clear. In such a case I would want out of that society altogether. I wouldn’t be asking for a right to reproduce as if it were a privilege.

Because it isn't. What you want to do ties in with what the rest of the population can do. Same is true of gay marriage or of women entering professions.
