To those of you who lost friends when you came out as Gender Critical, would you ever take those friends back if they came to see the truth of transgender ideology and tried to come back to you?

You guys are all so lucky. In my community, my industry, my background, the woke view is so mainstream and standard that it is very hard to find people who don't think that way. I have made my GC attitude evident to some people here and there, either in subtle ways or one to one if I had felt things out and thought they'd listen (not necessarily agree but be open to discussion anyway), but probably still the majority of people I know I just avoid the topic.

The few friends I have stopped interacting with bc of the issue have been kind of "dropping away" than any kind of big confrontation and I absolutely would take them back if they changed their minds. As I said for now I just keep most of my addressing of the issue to message boards or people I already know are open to talking about it, which is a minority. I don't have a lot of crazy level TRA friends, but I have plenty who are general virtue signaling, full rainbow rights for everyone oppressed, Trans people suffer so much and I support the underprivileged, types... It's always dangerous to poke at that at the wrong moment bc a lot of people don't actually want to think about it. They just want to feel good about doing the right thing.

Believe me I totally understand and relate, it's the same for me. Aside from losing my few friends I had, I'm a apart of both the Online art scene and the Goth scene and Transgender ideology crap is VERY prevalent in these spaces. So I totally understand how hard it is to meet people into similar interests as you but they're also drinking the Trans Kool-Aid and you know if they found out that you don't believe in the ideology, they'd shun you.

Right. When I came out about my views during the JK Rowling/Maya Forstater case, I only had 2 big confrontations (though DM, most of my friends are online friends). The rest were the "Dropping away" variety. Slowly stopped interacting with me like whenever I'd comment on a post they made (that was unrelated to the virtue signaling), I'd never get a response but yet they'd respond to others.

Yep I noticed this as well when I had a few of the ex-friends tried to debate and they couldn't answer the simple question of "What is a woman/man?, Define them without using stereotypes" and some even blocked me. So I totally think you're right here. They simply don't want to think about it because they've been told by the Trans cult it's heresy to do that.
