Absolutely I feel anxious about it, and I think many other people do as well. The most important message I try to remember about that fact, though, is: I am not alone. There are a bunch of us who think similarly. Parents, healthcare professionals, researchers, even LGB people on social media, we are all being censored, shamed, and ignored when we raise our concerns. But we are all still here, and so is objective reality. The truth has to come out eventually, and I think that the Keira Bell court case is a good sign of future change.

One of the things being that someone disliking being called queer means they must be secretly a TRF, exclusionist or a transphobe.

Oh, fantastic. Me not wanting to be called a slur supposedly means that I hate trans people. I'll keep an eye out for that, thanks.

I've seen other variants of this trend elsewhere and it makes me worried for people's safety. The other day at work I heard a guy say a JK Rowling quote in an admiring way and I couldn't help but think, "I know some of the other people here with us right now hate JKR; I hope there are fewer of them than I think, so that you don't have enemies for this sometime in the future."

It worries me to see someone like that suddenly come out, make me forget their old name and pretend as if I never knew that person I once knew.

As usual, I am reminded of a religion or cult.

I think it's different when you always saw someone struggling with their identity and they come out as trans vs seeing someone comfortable with who they are coming out as trans after being deep into TQ+ rabbit hole.

I'm not sure it is. Even those who were previously struggling with their identity often were preyed upon by the cultlike tactics employed by TQ+ spaces online-- love-bombing, advising to cut off one's family members and friends if they ask questions, elevating the trans community as being "special" and "enlightened," etc.
