What about rapists being sent to women's prisons?

What about homosexuals, being abused and being treated like pariahs, for speaking up?

What about all the academics who are being silenced, and are losing their jobs?

What about all the workers that are being forced to lie?

What about young lesbians being coerced / forced into accepting males as sexual partners?

What about women, who are concerned about safeguarding, being silenced?

There are endless ways, that this ideology is impacting decent people.

Of course, the medicalising of children is one of the worst manifestations, but there is so much more. Please don't walk away.

Absolutely true.

MisterMedusa, above, put into words something I've been thinking. Unfairness in sports is capturing general attention for people who may have thought GI was some harmless fringe inclusiveness thing that must somehow have something to do with being gay. "Queer" now seems to take in all manner of people whether gay or straight.

Coercion is a big part of this whole thing.

None of us should live in this sort of fear, whether it's an academic or a woman in prison, or whatever.

And, anyone concerned about future generations in their family or extended family will continue to find this a personal matter. Plus, I know I'm never getting over how my kid was messed with, either - even as I worry whether she's truly ok now or not.

The whole cult ideology must go - roots & all - and I think maybe we start by taking reality based language back. I even find "gender critical" silly. Gender is made up. We can be kind to confused people and not cave to a cult and affirm people whose issue may in part be an excessive need for attention. None of us would have heard of WilLiam without all this - if he'd simply switched to a nickname, worn a gal's outfit and competed with the fellas.
