I've seen a lot of comparisons of trans activism and cult behavior so I definitely understand where they're coming from! Honestly my reluctance to use it mostly stems from a place of not wanting to push away people that might be on the fence. I have a few libfem friends that are close to peaking but not quite there yet, so I try to moderate my language to keep from coming off as transphobique

I know while we're in the middle of this, it certainly seems difficult to imagine the world not being this way.

This might be the rest of the reason I feel this way, hahaha. I'm only in my early 20s so waiting 5-10 years for this to blow over seems impossible

Oh, that totally makes sense. I never start out with "it's a literal cult" when talking to people about it IRL, I agree.

Also in my early 20s, I feel ya. :) At least we'll be in our late 20s/early 30s by that point in time. It really frustrates me though, not gonna lie.
