r/honesttransgender had the most sane post of the last 24 hours and it was deleted by the moderators: "Maybe it's too late, and this is what the trans movement has become, and this is how it ends."

People don't have ideologies; ideologies have people.

You can turn your back on a person, but never turn your back on an ideology.

Yeah, Dawkins was right to write about memes (as in spreading ideas, not amusing cat pictures) in 1976, it just took 40 years for us to fully see it, but it is a good explanation of how these ideas develop, take hold, spread, and then are eventually replaced by stronger ones.

It just so happens that in the 40 years since RD came up with the theory, we have built the perfect meme spreading machine in social media.
