So I came across this online, comparing trans ideology and some of the go to comments to religion. Just thought it was interesting. May be bothersome, if I’m being honest.

The difference is that GC doesn’t say those things or make comments like that- QT and TRA’s do.

We don’t equate heretic with handmaid male (a term that doesn’t even make sense) and it doesn’t make sense to say it’s the new original sin. But even if it did, we don’t condemn or threaten these “handmaid males” for not sharing our beliefs. GC would say they have bought the ideology and don’t know better, maybe debate with them. That’s about it. GC would also say that agp is a fetish, not degeneracy. But even if we said it was degeneracy, we don’t force agp’s to not transition or speak a certain way. GC doesn’t turn gender into a religion that everyone must follow. There may be upsetting statements made- it’s not a cult-like atmosphere where everyone is forced to believe the same things and speak the same way or be punished.

The formating got screwed up. Handmaid, male. Tried to make a list but it seems saidit doesn't like that. So sorry.

You don't, but you call them "dangerous", "poison" or "parasites" and I only have to quote one prominent UK GC feminist. Maybe the Christianity comparison is lacking, but language of disgust is used by many cluts and cult like organizations.

Why does GC advocate for therapy instead of transition then? Or am I just mistaken here? Also making the bar to transition unreasonably high is pretty much the same.

I think you should be able to quote more than one person to say this is a GC thing. The reason what I posted works is because these are said by many QT/TRA’s, and often. One person is not enough to claim we do the same. GC advocates for therapy because it is so obvious that therapy- like extensive deep therapy not gender affirming therapy- is needed for so many QT. The bar should be high, for a lot of reasons imo. But that’s not comparable to what my post is comparing and should maybe be it’s own post or something. GC (some) advocating for therapy over transitioning has Nothing to do with religious comparison. The reasons it’s advocated for are plentiful, don’t see how it relates to this tho

Really? Even if that person is influencial enough to speak infront of legislative bodies? I'm not quoting some random Twitter argument here.

I would like to bring receipts for the therapy thing, but the GC subreddits got deleted, so I'm not sure where to get them. And ovarit isn't a website I visit regularly. Maybe my impression of the GC movement is tainted by the old GCdebatesQT crowd. But having been there for I think 3 years I doubt it.
