I'd say overall I see progress for the GC side. Back in 2017, I peaked because that was right when things were starting to get crazy. I was like, "this isn't right." There were very clearly wrong things going on. The craziness has ramped up since then, but I feel like there's more pushback now. Before, it felt like GC was screaming into the void. There were no books being written, almost no articles, no one even seemed to be aware of issues like child transition. TRAs flatly denied such things were happening, and it wasn't at all on the "normies'" radar.

Since then, GC has made some gains. More people are becoming aware though books like Irreversible Damage, and there has been some legal progress like the Tavistock decision. There's more public pushback. On the minus side, TRA has doubled down on their insanity and are pushing things like actual censorship, irreversible hormones and surgeries for children who are not even teenagers, unaltered natal males in women's sports, and other things that would not have flown 4 or 5 years ago. They have also made legal gains.

So it's back and forth, but in general I'm hopeful. I feel like the current situation is unstable and untenable. We're teetering on the edge, and the bubble is bound to burst eventually. In the meantime, it feels like TRAs are frantically trying to push their beliefs as hard as they can into law, into kids' media, into schools, to try to maintain their position. But I don't think they'll be able to. Not ultimately. What they want is just too far removed from reality.

Do you think the pandemic has had or will have any sort of lasting impact specific to the gender and sex debate at all?

I really don't think so. At least not that I can tell. It may be that there is some unknown impact that will become clear later down the road.
