I've only dated one person since the trans inquisition began, and I found out early on that she was also gc. I know it varies by demographics such as location and age, but for what it's worth, almost every person I end up talking to about trans stuff agrees that it's all bullshit.

You know, I've actually had a somewhat similar experience, surprisingly. I haven't had as much opportunity in the past few weeks to participate here, but I've brought up trans-related topics with a few people IRL, and they were surprisingly receptive to talking about it and had some doubts/questions about popular claims made by the trans movement. Granted, those were people I chose specifically because I think they're more open-minded than the average person, but it was still a pleasant surprise. They were all straight, though. I can only hope other L/B women are similarly questioning of trans ideology, otherwise my dating life is screwed, lol.

Last week I encountered the term "moral extortion". It is what it sounds like: a persuasion technique that relies on inducing guilt ("do the work") rather than using reasoned argument. I think it's a useful concept to understand woke tactics in general, and in particular how gender ideologues might target well-meaning but naive LGB people more readily than they do straights.

I think I remember you saying at some point that you're Gen Z, right? If so, yeah, it might be a tough time out there right now. Fortunately though queer theory is really stupid and doesn't stand up to scrutiny, so I really do believe most people will wake up.

Whoops, responding to this way late, but yes! Yeah, it can be frustrating. I think most people my age I've talked to believe that sex is a spectrum, for example, if that gives you a sense of it...
