Ok, I'm glad I'm not the only one who had that reaction. It also kind of rubs me the wrong way. I mean, I totally get that expressing a lack of belief in gender identity would be social suicide for many people... it certainly would be for me... but like, it's just not the same as sexual orientation based discrimination. The homophobia I faced growing up, for example, did a ton of harm to my mental health, not to mention the effects of being in the closet from a very young age... that's something that someone with GC views who isn't LGB just doesn't have to deal with.

Y'all might not be aware, but in the lead up to the 2020 U.S. Presidential election conservative "coming out" videos were a huge trend. I found it shallow and offensive. This is also shallow and offensive.

Yup I remember that. I'm inclined to agree.
