I don't have any friends, who believe in gender woo woo, so I consider myself very lucky. I used to follow some twitter accounts, that turned out to be trans activists and I lost interest in them, but, to be honest, there wasn't any friendship there. That doesn't mean I haven't been in similar situations, so here's what I would do: Forgive, yes. Forget, no. The way I see it, these people managed to get out of cult thinking and people like that can be very helpful in the pushback against this ideology. The more assets in this fight, the better and rejecting them wouldn't help anyone. That would be the practical reasoning behind accepting them back. The emotional one would be that, this cult has been very clever in its disguise as "oppressed and downtrodden" and in painting us as right wing phobes. TRAs have taken advantage of gay rights activism, using it as a shield and camouflage, and hijacking people's best instincts. And, let's face it, people tend to go with the flow, until they hit the inevitable rock. All of this is reason to forgive. However, I don't see how forgetting or trusting them is an option. After all, they were ready to believe the worst of you without giving you the benefit of the doubt 🤷
