Because it's a religion now. There is a US cult expert who has now openly called the push to transition kids cult-like behavior. I will see if I can find his name again.

There is also an American woman, who seems to be well-versed in legal matters, gathering evidence to fight all the legislation being passed in the US on the basis that gender ideology is a religion and the First Amendment would therefore prohibit gender ideology being forced upon children in schools, etc.

Sorry, I don't have the links. If I get a chance, I will post them.

I think you're talking about Steven Hassan, the creator of the BITE model:

My upset is that detransitioners have been treated like former members of a cult- denigrated, attacked, and minimized. Why can’t there be mutual respect and a desire to listen and learn? What I have learned after 44 years of activism is that taking a curious, respectful position assuming that I need to learn more, is the wise posture for all to take in this polarized world of information and disinformation wars.

Sounds to me like he wants to be diplomatic when approaching the topic, but the TRA's response of "that's not good enough" is alarming to him. And rightly so. I hope he tries to wrestle with this topic more and it will be interesting to see what conclusions he comes to. Though it's probably inevitable that the TRA's will push him away.

Yes! Steven Hassan was the cult expert I had in mind. Thanks!

The more people who speak out, especially experts like Hassan, and especially LGB, the more targets the demented Transgender Demands Activists have to spew their lies about and the less seriously the TDAs are taken. So let's all speak out.
