I still believe that everyone should be treated with respect, even if they are transgender. Of course, if they do/say something rude, they lose all respect from me. Golden rule stuff.

Before I peaked, I was in the neutral/supportive camp. I tried to just be nice to people, especially if they were suffering from an illness that made them so uncomfortable in their own bodies. I didn't donate to causes or attend rallies or anything.

When a close friend came out as a TIM, I was happy for him and tried to be supportive. Giving advice, lots of compliments, etc. Then he said I was mansplaining to him and said I was always a TERF.

That, coupled with the apparent willingness of the woke-folks to experiment on children and allow any man to self-ID into women's spaces, really tied me over the edge. I now think that the huge push for trans-ing everyone is fueled only by money, and gullible idiots are falling for it.
