TBH we really can’t. This is something they need to figure out for themselves. It’s like quitting any kind of addiction and/or leaving an abusive situation: a person can’t really do that effectively until they want to. Same with handmaidens.

Edit: forgot to add, the one thing we can do is expose TRA lunacy for what it is - we should do this relentlessly, and I truly think people will realize what’s happening! r/GC grew to 65K+ members, after all. And now they can’t ban us.🙂

Twitter - I hate it, but I think that the informal GC British Twitter squads going after any celebrity, politician, organization that spouted gender nonsense really helped turn the tide.

Yes! I followed so many of them and they were phenomenal! It’s making me think I should rejoin Twitter and follow them again.

PLEASE, rejoin Twitter again and become an AstroTERF!

I had to take a break from GC Twitter (I didn't post, just lurk) but when I got back, 80% of GC feminists I had read had been banned, many for saying things as simple as, "Men can't be women."

So we have to be like the armies of the past, and just advance in waves, and as the first wave is cut down, send the second wave, until we overwhelm Twitter and force the dudes in dresses that seem to have overrun Silicon Valley to back the fuck off.

A lot of them are likely codependents and you cannot solve someone else's codependency for them. The ones who are misinformed but have critical thinking skills just need to have the right information placed in front of them at the right time in the right way by the right source.

I have spent a lot of time talking to Democratic US politicians' staff about this issue and had some really good conversations. Those conversations are never reflected in the politician's words or actions. And many politicians in the US are lawyers, so one would think that they would have, or have been trained in, some sort of critical thinking skills.

So either the politicians lack critical thinking skills themselves, and failed biology, or they don't communicate with their own staff, or, and most likely, they are bought off.

The pharmaceutical lobby is extremely powerful in the US and the very, very wealthy people behind Trans, Inc. are also spending money like drunken sailors.

I'm hoping that normal people's critical thinking skills are going to kick in soon. I think it has on the conservative side of the US, now we await the liberals.
