Yeah I actually do feel a little less alone after browsing here, it's nice to know that you're not alone in feeling the way you do, that others out there don't buy into the ideology and have a place to congregate after the whole Reddit fiasco. I'd like to hope that I'll find some more people IRL who feel the same. In hindsight I feel like I actually did meet someone at my job who had similar feelings. She was a lesbian who was substuting and we just clicked immediately. We eventually started talking about gay dating vs lesbian dating and when I asked her if she would date a "Transwoman", she declined saying that she was attracted only to women. I didn't go further because I didn't know where she stood with the ideology and I didn't want to make it awkward but I feel like maybe she has some gender critical views if she would say something like that ("only date women"). So that was nice lol.

There you go! She might be really concerned saying anything to anyone about this also. Because you know, the Cancel Guillotine will come for you faster than you can say CIS.

Take your time, don't push it, and if she wants to talk more... Then see if she may be your ally. I've a feeling she already is but is frightened to say any "wrong" opinions out loud. All the best of luck. (I met my best friend in a KIND of similar situation, so I have high hopes it'll happen to you too.)
