I think the baddest wrongest word is affirmation. Who practices affirmative medicine or therapy? Friendship is affirmative and even then not 100%. But health care? It's about training, treatment, judgment.

Yes, I agree 100%, "This movement must be stopped. And, the first step is to take back language." This is why my wife and I would not lie, we would not go along with my biological daughter demanding us call her a he with all the pronouns and her new pet name. We tried to use no pronouns when talking with her, we tried using no name when talking with her, but that just put us as if walking across a frozen lake with many weak spots. Today she is gone, no birthdays, or anything, zilch. Well good luck kiddo bashing against reality like that for the rest of your life. What a waste, daughter you are always welcome home to your Mother and Father. We are ready to help restore and love you. We would move with you anywhere, nearly, for a fresh start for you.
