I'm not against it, but any movement will be co-opted and infiltrated. Trans activists are insidious and clever, they will put on the mask of "GNC" to indoctrinate children.

I'm actually kind of in the opposite camp, it's not more GNC awareness that's needed but less TRA awareness. I'm not against GNC activism but it's more important we simply just stop the people telling children that them liking nail polish means they should castrate themselves with hormones.

You're probably right... But still, I think that for the honest GNC people who want to help GNC kids see that nothing is wrong with them can really help and the way to tell is that true GNC person would not try to coerce people into transitioning.

Right but an honest GNC person would not tell these kids that they should castrate themselves with hormones and surgery. But I get what you mean.

Agreed. I think it's sad that we might have to tell young people you're not limited to "men do this; women do this" -- I thought that was settled in the 1920s to be honest! I thought the 1920s era of female aviators like Pancho Barnes and Amelia Earhart showed the world there were GNC women and they were amazing. A hundred years later we're back to "nail polish = female"? Didn't 70s glam rock bands prove that high heels, makeup, nail polish, glitter, all of that was just a costume and anyone could enjoy it, male or female, gay or straight? TRA are really regressive. And the AGP ones, well, that's a scary fetish.
