The whole gender identity thing was always a substitute for the concept of a soul in my mind. The movement comes off as a pseudo-religion; LGBTQ+ is literally "The Community"; TikTok teachers preach their doctrine like missionaries, and every school day has become sunday school. TRAs have their prayers/mantras ("TWAW"), they label and excommunicate the heretics ("transphobes";"TERFs"). They are science deniers and push for alternative biology like creationists ("there are no male/female bodies, there are only bodies"). They have their holy scripture and their tenets (queer theory; gender-bread man). They have their prophets and saints (Marsha P. Johnson), and they have a devil to hate (JK Rowling, amongst others).

It's only fitting if they start an official religion. Scary shit.

Exactly. Less and less people are into traditional religion/faith systems these days. Meanwhile, more and more people are becoming obsessed with gender theory rhetoric, constantly towing the party line on any of their own or "allies" who step out of line whatsoever. I'm sure it's just a coincidence though. /s
