I relate so hard to your point about JK Rowling's essay. After reading through it and expecting something horrible, from what was described to me, I found myself completely and fully agreeing with everything she had to say and the reasonable and empathetic way she presented it all. I really do feel like the world has gone a little crazy (at least the hyper-woke world). This whole thing is so surreal, I was basically a full-on TRA just last year. I'm still coming to terms with the fact that I'm considered the bad guy in woke circles now.

Things are surreal, indeed. I totally relate to your experience. The extent to which my online friends freaked out made me delete a Twitter account and leave another website completely. It feels like every bad faith argument they make against JK Rowling hits me, too, and I know they'd probably go apeshit if they knew I was in agreement with her. I've next to no ability to lie, so I'm just avoiding everyone, lest they find out I'm gender critical.

I've been pretty ignorant about the TRA movement before now; I've figured trans stuff isn't any of my business, so it's been easy to look past. But now... I hate to be one of those people who only wake up when something affects them directly, but here we are.
