Can you PM me the name of the author if you don't feel comfortable sharing it here? I'm just curious who she is and what she said.

I'm seeing a lot of straight white women (and other races too, but the majority seems to be straight, white, and of the middle class/upper middle class demographic, and right after that, college educated straight black women are the next ones I see doing this a lot, and now that I think of it, I've seen the Latina women who label themselves as Latinx are like this too) who are VEHEMENTLY pro-trans, anti-terf, and are shrieking very loudly about how much they hate JK Rowling and tearing out their hair in shame over what big Harry Potter fangirls they used to be.

Just focusing on the straight people, I think a huge majority of them are absolutely clueless about the "Suck my girldick" stuff. They think trans people are just these poor sweethearts who were "born in the wrong body" and yes, of course we can't magic them into becoming literally the opposite sex, but we can come together as a community and gaslight ourselves into pretending that this individual is whatever sex/gender they claim to be, and we can all mutually agree to NEVER speak about the elephant in the room.

(I don't know what % of these people truly believe the "born in the wrong body" thing, like literally a human with a female soul or brain was born in a male body by accident, and what % know it's a mental illness but don't care.)

They choose to believe that they are doing this for altruistic reasons because they are good people, but really they are doing it for selfish reasons. 1- because saying "sure, sweetie, of course you're a girl"(cough as long as I don't have to personally deal with your sexually confused bullshit cough)"we love you! Of course you're one of us!" is a lot easier than confronting a dude and saying "Honey, you have a mental illness, you will never be a girl, and anyone who says different is just lying to you." Saying stuff like this to a delusional person (who is bigger and stronger than you) can be terrifying, especially when they have the power of the woke police behind them. 2- because they need to virtue signal and protect themselves from the angry mob. and 3- because it doesn't affect them... YET. It doesn't affect them yet. And they don't think it ever will. Most of these women have never seen a trans person IRL in their lives, trans people are just mythical creatures that live on the internet. Like unicorns. Who doesn't want to protect unicorns? They poop rainbows!

I think the best way to respond to straight people is by dropping little pieces of bait and letting them pick it up and ruminate over it slowly so that it feels like they discovered the idea for themselves. For example, gently muse about how "If you think about it, LGB and T are very different because LGB, and Straight too, actually, are just about sexuality, while T is a medical issue. T's can be LGB or S, but does it make sense to lump them all together?" or "Does it make sense for trans activists to say that everyone should examine their genital preferences when 99% of the world is heterosexual? Does this mean we are all really bi and in denial?" or "Would it be weird to have four separate sports divisions to include male and female trans, rather than just split it up by male and female?" Just ask innocuous stuff like this in a curious sort of tone and let them chew on it. Maybe they'll come to the sensible conclusions and maybe they won't. It's like that saying 'You can lead a horse to water but you can't force it to drink.'
