She can shut down the conversation all she wants, but she'll be on the front line having to deal with performing a pap on a male's surgical wound, among other things. Liberals don't want to hear that their blue donkey saviors do any wrong. I'm afro-latina and can only be critical of dems with some of my family and partner. My family is pro-gun and anti-trans laws like me, but also homophobic af and really conservative about gender roles and abortion (eye roll). My friends who are almost all american black will hear nothing criticizing dems, even if you bring up 3 strikes laws and racist roots of anti-gun laws. I hate politics. The divisiveness just allows more bullshit laws to be passed. I truly don't understand people's aversion to hearing things they don't agree with immediately. Glad you were brave enough to call it like is though.

Wow - that's interesting about your family and friends.

I can totally relate - It is so incredibly frustrating that even someone who is liberal on just about every issue, like me, has to bend over backwards trying to convince people who've known me for decades that my opposition to gender ideology is not based on some kind of anti-LGB old school conservatism, but rather that opposition to gender ideology is the newest wave of feminism.

I kept pushing with the gynecologist because I could see that she was processing what I was saying. I mentioned the puberty blocker (or rather, the CHEMICAL CASTRATION DRUG) Lupron and how it was being given to this huge % of kids being swept up in the transgender fad and I could see her connecting the dots.

Here's the thing: I asked the receptionist for a female gynecologist and she proudly responded that they only had female practitioners (so physicians assistants, LPNs, etc) in the office so I didn't need to worry.

If the Equality Act passes, and this office has to hire a male, the receptionist won't be allowed to tell a patient requesting a female practitioner that she's going to get a male doctor, because, by law, the man is a woman.

So a patient will be undressed and waiting for her exam when in walks the "woman" doctor she requested, who she's been assured by the receptionist she's going to get, and it's a man.

It just frustrates me so much that, all over the world, the gender lobby has managed, by using LGB as sword and shield, to get people of goodwill to not think things through (or to be completely unaware - IRL NO ONE I know has heard of the US Equality Act) as to what the actual cost will be if we let men self-identify as women.

Unfortunately this mess will only be curtailed once a good number of normies are affected. Once that receptionist can't proudly declare (honestly) that all practitioners are female and the gynos have to get educated about treating voluntary male surgical wounds, then we will finally see some real pushback. Sadly it may be a bit late in the game by then as far as reversing laws and such.

I swear that this gender ideology push is some kind of psy ops to turn the world even more chaotic than it is now.

Imagine in five years, when, as you said, the gynecologist is forced to give a pelvic exam to a faux-gina. And the receptionist has to repeatedly lie to elderly women that they are going to get a female doctor, but then said "woman" doctor has hands the size of basketballs and a beard.

Will the gynecologist think back on that strange, hippyish Karen (me) she had in her office warning her about gender ideology years before? Too late, lady. I was making sense - you should have listened.

Imagine in five years

There is some hope yet that eyes will open. Go read this: https://WeTheScreamers.com/

Read it, then absorb that it was written in January 1944, before there was even a word for the holocaust, when the common belief was that this was just hyperbolic propaganda—or a conspiracy theory, despite all the evidence. Our minds want to protect us from the truth, but we are sane to be screaming.

The gynecologist might have listened and even feel crap about not having much power to try to go against the system because she's just a gynecologist (though if this is her own privately owned practice, then it's fair to assume she supports TRA policies), not a legislator. She might not even care and wants to get on with her job. The reality is that not enough people care or they're trying to make sure they have enough money to pay off some bills.

If you want to make greater impact, trying start a protest and spread information, print flyers with information and hand them out or put them on cars (similar to how vegans put stickers in places to protest against meat consumption), try to inspire people to be more open with their views and express them. Try building a physical community, and make them active, this is how past movements in democratic states made progress (its how women, vegans, TIs created an impact in society), it might be seen as gender disciminating to the law, but still see if you can try to gain movement like that. I would love to do something similar except making myself famous will bring some unwanted consequences which I can't mitigate.

You are not wrong. Just look up Foucault and queer theory.

In the US, there's a backlash against Critical Race Theory; I think that we need to tie the gender bullshit to Queer Theory, because while many Americans reject the gender nonsense, they have no idea that there's an actual Theory behind it oozing out of academic circles much like Critical Race Theory did.

And I say this as someone who believes that the US is very racist, but now it's every race against every other, which is just what the Powers That Be want to keep us from allying against them.
