Welcome! Thanks for linking this nonsense. I had heard of this sub but hadn't looked into it. This is pretty crazy, the stories they tell each other. This, for example, is literally them describing social contagion: https://www.reddit.com/r/lgballt/comments/jemy5k/when_youre_too_young_to_know_about_gay_people_how/

You know, reading this^ it suddenly strikes me.. Does anyone else think this "egg" idea sounds like born-again Christian ideas? Like, "I wasn't really living my true self BEFORE, but now I am"?

Wonder if there's some research on this overall pattern, it's fascinating that kids have replicated it with gender ideology.

I've thought this before too. TRA ideology is so much like fundamentalist Christianity. They claim to be counterculture and enlightened, but they've replicated the ideology they claim to be running from XD
