Brits are again displaying a better track record than prominent Americans in speaking out. I appreciate that the conservative press of the UK is willing to call attention to and platform warnings about the harm extreme gender ideology and activism uniquely poses to LGB people, especially LGB youth and not just women. This often gets danced around in the U.S. even when criticism of trans activism is raised.

I must commend Simon for his courage and deftness here. He focused on the nature of the activism and only impliedly criticized the ideology by raising how it can confuse gay kids. He pointed out that there are issues to be discussed such as appropriate age for transitioning, and that should be allowed to discuss openly. The worst TRAs will use their distraction tactics by saying things like, "Anything can be discussed? What about Nazism?" and harp on word choices like "lure," but the lack of the general ability to discuss certain issues and the fear surrounding it is something that almost everyone in the West can recognize right now. And the second we can talk about these issues this whole ideology unravels itself. We really should focus more on the nature of the activism and how the laws and policies are coming about.
