I am a stay at home mom in my early 30s,with two amazing young daughters. I don't really think I'm a feminist, but I of course support the idea that women are strong, smart and can do anything they want. But, I do think that the trans cult is damaging our children.

My husband and I have a friend who is transitioning from male to female, and while I have no problem with her as a person, I am starting to see that she has really drunk the kool-aid. She claims that "trans people know themselves better than almost every cis person" because they have "done research" to find out who they truly are. This friend also flies off the handle and thinks every little thing someone says Must be an attack on her. She says when someone calls her by her old name (which is her last name, not even a masculine sounding name) she gets eye twitches and it "brings up painful memories of her fabricated male persona". Like, come on. Get over yourself.

I seriously think her paranoia is a sign that she didn't get proper therapy or medication before she started her hormones, and now she's just using her lack of self-confidence to cry foul on people. It's very worrisome to me.

Anyway, I look forward to meeting more women (especially mothers) who share these concerns, and finding ways to make sure my daughters are safe growing up.

Your friend is a man, not a woman, and I can pretty much guarantee the "research" he did was actually just watching a lot of porn.

THIS. That's how it is for a lot of them. Watching "sissy" porn and similar related fetish.

If she wants to pretend to be a woman, I'm not going to fight her on her choice of pronouns. But the "research" she claims to have done is "pore through mountains of books on philosophy, world religions, biology, psychology and neuroscience". I agree it's a pretty ridiculous claim :) However, if she ever makes any comments about her penis or man boobs around my daughters, she is going to see how angry a mother can get I guarantee it.

He. That is a man. He's not your friend, either. Cut him off.

Red flag: this is neither a person who knows himself nor a person who has any spiritual depth whatsoever.

That's a good point! Thanks for replying. The pandemic has given me the perfect excuse not to see this "friend" lol

I am a mother of two as well and I would feel very uncomfortable having my children spending time with someone who expects them to deny the reality that they can see. My 2 year old daughter is already much more comfortable around women than men. This article helped me see that the insistence on pronouns is deeper than it may seem:

Thanks for the reply! The article was interesting, and the Stroop test comparison was something I hadn't seen before! Distancing due to the pandemic is the perfect excuse to keep this "friend" away :) While I disagree with the "fearing men" stance the author takes, I do realize that children naturally bond with females easily. It's instinct. So I will keep this in mind!
