I tread very carefully. It's a difficult subject to broach if you don't know where people are on the issue, and I'm wary of being accused of being paranoid or a transphobe, especially with people who are friends or co-workers (and who else am I going to talk to?) I'm careful to assess people's own level of involvement with the subject before discussing it openly. I've discovered the hard way that some of my LGB coworkers who I had initially thought were gender critical (or should be!) have drunk the Koolaid. I was having a rough time last week when my butch lesbian co-worker sent me an email with 'she/they' pronouns. Sigh. Then last weekend my closest work buddy started ranting to me about how our Wokeplace has turned the changerooms gender-neutral (seriously!) and that's how I discovered that she and her bf are gender critical AF. Small victories!
