I'd wager a large portion of the 20-somethings and younger crowd grew up accepting gender identity ideology as sacrosanct because there was no push back, nobody to say, hey this is rather silly. Instead the ideology was taught as fact, and they are in a position where they need to unlearn their indoctrination.

I mean, when did we ever decide we must pander to the desires of a minority in fear of them killing themselves. At some point that went from being nonsense nobody would consider, to the status quo backed by government and NGOs with attempts of varying success to codify these beliefs into law.

I agree, but I think the best way to free them of this ideology is not to battle it to the hilt, because that will only make many of them more entrenched, as it's an emotional position and not a logical one. So by "attacking" them, they feel as victims, which in turn justifies their ideology, which emboldens them.

Some will see the light after a serious discussion, but many will just double down.

So I think the best way to disempower the weight this conversational topic has, is to ignore it entirely. But it is very hard in an environment where propaganda is being continuously fed to the masses regarding the subject.

There is one thing you can rely on the common person for: They get bored of things after so long. The trans fad is becoming very boring to talk about for many many people. Then they'll have to switch to something more emotionally salient. So if we avoid fanning the flames, maybe they'll drop it as a propaganda tool because it's not generating enough divide and conquer power. But it's a long game for sure.
