100% ... I have a couple friends who I think are on the fence due to a couple posts, but I am too scared to ask for fear of losing them ... one other friend who is definitely GC, but more so due to religious leanings than anything, though still very lucky to connect with her. I've been asked what happened in my life to lead to my GC views, as if only some traumatic event could lead to being GC rather than just plain observation, since according to those ppl what I am seeing is really only some small minority that really doesn't have any impact ... sigh ... When GC Reddit got banned I was devestated - l do not normally drink, but that night I went a little crazy and ended up drunkenly writing a 3000 wordish essay on freedom and speech, cancel culture, and SJWish ... Saidit, Spinster, and now Ovarit have been saving graces and help to quell the loneliness I can feel. So, all this to say you are not alone ... seems more and more people are peaking, or waking up, so hopefully the tide is shifting. Sending you lots of pos vibes !

I totally understand why you may not want to test the waters with your friends and I think you should do what's best for yourself but hopefully more people will just have enough of this nonsense and see reality. I especially hate when some people think that for someone to be GC, we have to had gone through something traumatic which is not the case all the time, it's just plain observation and noticing how society pushes certain gender norms. And eugh I really hate how some people are with the "small minority" thing. I'm actually dealing with this right now where some guy was asking me why I'm "transphobic" based on the fact that I don't buy into trans ideology and when I got around to showing him the WomenAreHuman and "this Never Happens" facebook group, he just said they don't count because it's just "cherry-picking".

But yes thank goodness that some new sites popped up for people like us, it really does help with the loneliness and sanity haha.
