Agree, we should bite the bullet. I’ve been working on this with two friends. Gen Z scares me though. What did the schools do to them?

Peer pressure combined with social media is a hell of a drug (or brainwash).

Shaming lesbians for not liking girldick has become the ultimate form of peer pressure.

I ease in. I've already talked to my best friend about trans extremists I hope I can get deeper with her someday. She hasn't peaked get, cause she's not in any communities like Reddit so it's going to be hard but she already doesn't buy into the whole "non-binary" shit.

I was recently texting w an old friend, catching up.

I asked him if he and his girlfriend would please immediately contact his congressional representatives to oppose the US Equality Act; imagine my shock when I found out that not only had they already done that, but they knew all about the abuse of TERFs, dangerous TiMs, etc., and despite being UBER-liberals they were vehemently opposed to the Equality Act.

I knew they were my friends for a reason ;-) but yes, many of our friends probably have a lot of the same critical thinking skills we do, so perhaps test them out with subtle GC thought and go from there.
