Talked to a couple more friends recently about trans ideology. I didn't mean to but the opportunity came up organically. I just stated that I didn't believe in gender identity and observed that puberty blockers cause chemical castration-- a fact that is very hushed-up in left politics. Showed them evidence, of course, including this study. They were both blown away and voiced their own doubts they'd had separately about the trans movement. Just really heartening to see.

At least one of them, maybe both, have the "pronouns in bio," too. These are well-meaning, thoughtful people, but they saw that the subject was so touchy and went with the path of least resistance and didn't voice their concerns to anyone else; I was the first person either of them had talked to about it. How crazy is it that so many people are wondering the same things, yet afraid to speak their thoughts?! This has got to stop. I'm simultaneously angry about the situation and excited to find that way more people are on board with the beliefs of this sub than I thought would be!
