One of the most offensive elements to nonsense like this tripe, is the cheapening of the concept of “safety.” The word is tossed around willynilly to describe situations that are not at all dangerous. Demanding people validate your feelings, and dressing and acting like selfish clowns, and then having the audacity to call it “abuse” when everyone doesn’t play along, is insulting to those who have and are currently suffering actual abuse. No one is asking you to “educate” them. In fact, in doing so, you are almost certainly coming off as a condescending jackass that will only make more people sick of your nonsense.

People who act like this suffer from an extreme case of main character syndrome. They can’t understand that everyone has their own problems and lives to worry about, and don’t want to take on responsibility for thin skinned losers in clown clothes and makeup.

This 100%. I hate how they talk about you need to play along with their delusions and selfishness to "feel safe". Most of the time, it's just threats of suicide they have no intention of following through on because they're too narcissistic to think they're worthless. And by the way, threatening suicide like that is emotional abuse

Yes! Trying to make me responsible for your behavior by making threats is absolutely abuse. This, along with the torturous treatment of the concept of “safety” makes me furious with big elements of the field of psychology and psychiatry. Demanding compliance under emotional abuse should be completely anathema for both fields. But instead, they are weaponizing the whims of 12 year olds against parents and the rest of society. And all to administer drugs that have very real and adverse side effects. No one should be pushing so hard to sterilize kids or put them on a route to never be able to experience orgasm and sexuality.

Hell, I’m not even saying that there aren’t trans people. There absolutely are those with gender dysphoria who will eventually need medical intervention to address. But pretending that everyone currently involved in the gender craze is the same as those tiny percentage of people… insanity.
