I would call that a cognitive dissonance created by social media, but dissonance is winning over cognition. Gender: more problems than it could ever even pretend to solve.

Protip: if you want to be called "they", put a couple of puppets on your shoulders. Make us all think you consult with them before saying or doing anything: really sell this "they" to us if you want us to buy it. I just found my Halloween costume.

Back when I was deep into the cult, I was told to imagine that all "they/them"s have pet mice in their pockets so I wouldn't "misgender" them.

So, they took the old "What? Do you have a mouse in your pocket?" joke seriously. Not surprising.

It's becoming self-parodic. The old "bioqueen" meme (a man trapped in a woman's body who feels like a woman) is now a reality.

I've been wanting to say, I'm sorry you got lost in that stuff. I'm glad you're out though and I hope you're wiser and better in at least some ways for the journey. At the very least you're better equipped to help those who will at some point want a way out too.

You got me at the pretend, masquerading and role playing is what this gender identity shit is all about! That's a beautiful way to put it.

Don't forget, you need to make sure they can talk and think for themselves too. No way I'm using "they" if you have dead dolls surgically attached to your body.
