By "these people" I only meant "these people whom I spoke to." I was not referring to a collective group.

At this point, it does not even matter. I am completely demoralized and depressed. I don't know any GC people IRL, and I opened up to the people I thought would be most supportive and I still got written off. If I keep going, I am just going to further isolate myself from everyone in my life and gain a reputation as a hateful, right-wing nutjob just because I don't agree with the Democratic party line. I am not sure I can bear being that isolated.

Talk to them about the money the financial backers of the gender lobby are making off of the bodies of kids. Since they are concerned about LGBT, show them that a huge % of kids being transitioned are LGB.

A good source for information is by LGB themselves. Here is the description, "A RESOURCE & COMMUNITY FOR LGBT PEOPLE WHO WANT TO PROMOTE THE LONG-TERM PHYSICAL & MENTAL HEALTH OF GENDER DYSPHORIC YOUTH. "

Also, show them the detransitioners sub Reddit, r/detrans.

On r/detrans there are (or used to be) hundreds if not thousands of heart-rending personal stories of young detransitioners, who have irreversibly damaged their bodies, and are often now in a state of mental crisis.

I also think that many people slowly absorb it, so at first they have no idea where you're coming from because we have all been so brainwashed, but it you work on them without being pushy, they will get it.

Don't despair!

Thanks. I did decide to share with them links to LGB and detrans criticism so they can see another perspective. Hopefully it helps.
