Thank you. I feel the same way. I have learned as still an avowed progressive thinker, to not fall for group messaging and group think. I take one idea at a time and filter through my own awareness and curiosity. I also want to remember that even though I am an apostate on the trans thing in my community, I will not demonize people on any side. It is what fuels these extremes and what has us flip flopping from one side to the other and keeps society from finding the sensible middle ground.

Totally agree. It's tempting to demonize, but it's what got us here in the first place, and I don't want to fall prey to that.
