Is he actually 15?? Jesus christ. The transgender movement really is run by children.

The internet was such a huge mistake. I'm looking at this kid's twitter, and every day he is spending hours on it retweeting weird shit and screeching about terfs and lesbians and cis people, and he's surrounded by other little weirdoes just like him who keep validating him.

Well, I don't know if I believe it's a mistake but the complete lack of protections and restrictions for kids regarding the internet certainly is.

Lol that is so, so weird-- what an echo chamber, and at such a young age. So glad I was never interested in tumblr/twitter when I was in my teens.

Yeah, I'm being a bit of a drama-queen LOL. The internet has so many good qualities too. Like none of us in this sub would ever communicate with each other or know that others like us exist without it.

I really wonder how it's going to be in 10, 20, 30 years. Like looking back 5, 10, 15 years ago, it's so different already, but our mind has this way of tricking us into feeling like the future won't really change so much from the status quo.

No worries, we all have those moments :) I am very grateful for this sub.

I think it'll look pretty remarkable. Especially in 5 years. We're already seeing some legal action, in the UK with Keira Bell and Allison Bailey, and in the US, Alabama just made child-transing a felony offense; there's no way we're not gonna start to see the transgender debate start to boil over soon. Objective reality's already starting to creep in, into those trans "safe spaces," lol.
