Note I didn't ask if anyone else is experiencing this

You did ask in the title though lol.

But really I agree with everything you said. It's so weird to me to see people who will share 'ways to identify gaslighting' posts or 'how to know you're in a cult' posts but don't realize that transgenderism is a cult or the gaslighting techniques TRAs employ.

Just the other day I was on instagram and I scrolled past Jim Mathers, the guy behind Foamy the Squirrel. The post was a drawing of one of his new characters which he referred to using they/them pronouns. The character was obviously female too, not even androgynous enough to warrant confusion. I'm sitting there like. This is the guy who made tons of videos years ago where Foamy would rant about how stupid people can be in varying capacities. He called out the type of 'look at me' behaviors nonbinaries exhibit, yet here he is unironically supporting an ideology that essentially says 'I deserve special treatment because I don't like gender roles'. Old Foamy would've said something like 'who fucking cares if you hate gender roles? wear what you want then, but don't expect a cookie for it'. But here's Jim caving to the wokies. It's really sad to see people sell out like that.

It really does feel like the world has gone crazy.
