I wasn't saying this to thank the kid. I was saying this to point out how one straight males voice outweighed years of all of ours.

I don't disagree with you, but I also think it's a numbers game. People outside the circle didn't even know what the trans community was doing or saying, much less that they were attacking the LGB. When they sent death threats to a child's mom because he said he doesn't want to date them, that is when the internet at large noticed what was going on, and how ridiculous and pervasive it really is. Now that it's out in the open, I think lesbian communities will be able to be much more discriminating again.

I understand. It's really frustrating how we have not been listened to for years.

I myself am thanking the TikTok boy; I have spent a few years now talking to everyone who wouldn't listen about gender ideology - I've blathered on to everyone from the A/C repairman to Nancy Pelosi's office, and felt as if I were swimming against a 100 foot wave about to push me to the bottom of the ocean.

This kid gets on TikTok, is as polite and non-"transphobic" as he can be given his message, doesn't bother with the details of the Equality Act, or how the puberty blocker Lupron is used to castrate sex offenders, or how "transmen" can need hysterectomies, etc., and ad nauseam, and yet it's like the scales fell from the world's eyes. So kudos to him, and a heartfelt, "Thank you!"

I'm just glad it happened.
