    False hope is the current trans movement's chief stock and trade. Instead of medical experts being willing to give a hard dose of "look you can get cosmetic surgery to look as close to the sex you want, but you won't literally be that sex and you'll have to learn to accept there will be limits on what you can and can't do", now it's all validation, validation, validation. You're not allowed to discuss that man who identifies as a woman or vice-versa will still have some barriers where they're reasonably not welcome due to their biological sex (such as a women's rape shelter).

    I am still sad about young people, as they grown up with the idea that this is a correct way to go, that this is how LGBT works. All they ever saw was TQ+ agenda on twitter/reddit. And maybe she is just butch lesbian, or masculine straight, but her mind is infested with all this dangerous TQ+ agenda, and most likely she just ruining her life by following them. If "non-binary" agenda is only hurting their minds, T agenda is hurting their bodies, to a point that it can never get fixed back.

    When I was most active in our LGB communities 15-20 years ago, we were saying to young people - it is right to be as you are, you should not blame yourself that you are different, you should be proud of being who you are, you should not blindly follow gender stereotypes and just be yourself. Fix your depression by accepting yourself as you are.

    And what this new TQ+ agenda is? Literally opposite. "If you are not in gender stereotype - you are queer/nonbinary", "If you like something different that your gender stereotype says - you are transgender and must follow opposite gender stereotype", "fix your depression by pretending you are someone else and with hormone-drugs", "you are not free to express yourself, unless you are nonbinary". Cages and chains everywhere.

    The sad/confusing part of this is that I've seen young women ID as male but in fact be on the feminine side- mannerisms, etc. They think bc they wear 'masculine clothes' that's all there is to it.
