It is run by a straight guy who is trying to angle it as another LGB alliance type of group:

“Queer Majority” is an anti-LGBT site. It publishes long essays purportedly of interest to queer people, and attacks trans rights. In its first “issue” in 2018 it had an essay rejecting “gender ideology” and claiming nonbinary is a sexist concept reinforcing gender stereotypes. In reality, nonbinary is a way of liberating from them.
From its about page its attack begins to be clear. It says there is majority support for LGBT rights, but LGBT “extremists”, a “vocal minority of radical activists”, support “authoritarian” policies. It wants “liberal values” not “needlessly divisive identity politics”. While it says it is for LGBT rights, it does not mention trans, only gender nonconformity.
Its straight editor writes that Queer is Cool, despite having grown up as a Bush-supporting conservative from a conservative religious background. He says “haters” compared him to William F. Buckley. He opposes identitarianism, which he says makes writers not objective, and calls the word “demisexual” unintentionally amusing.
That essay linked to one called “Victimhood is one helluva drug” attacking trans man Chase Strangio. The writer, Ben Appel, says children presenting at gender clinics would grow up to be LGB not T if given proper emotional support- as if psychologists at those clinics don’t consider the possibility, and give PBs out like sweeties. Strangio, attracted to men, felt seen as a man when he was called a “faggot”. Appel calls that insensitive. “Strangio doesn’t know the gay male struggle.” Similarly, I welcomed the words “slut” and “whore”, because they affirmed my womanhood even as they insulted me.
Just read the about statement:

In the liberal world, a clear majority of people support LGBT rights. However, many are turned off by extreme rhetoric that supports authoritarian policy proposals. They are alienated by a vocal minority of radical activists who falsely claim to speak for the LGBT community. In this respect, QM stands up for that silent majority against extremists of all persuasions.
…
Together, these three meanings represent QM's vision. Everyone, including cis straight people, benefits from sexual and romantic liberty. Exclusive homosexuality, like exclusive heterosexuality, is just one part of a wide, dynamic, and inclusive spectrum of human sexuality. These rights must be preserved, and they should be spread worldwide - so that people everywhere can live a free and fulfilled life. This will be achieved by standing up for the liberal values that make such progress possible - not by perpetuating endless discord through needlessly divisive identity politics.
So many rightwing buzz words.
It even has an article promoting the extremely transphobic and debunked Autogynephilia theory by Ray Blanchard:
