I worry that people of good faith, who assume that there are boundaries, that friends respect your authority as a parent, are bound to lose to people who are prepared to do whatever it takes to remake the world according to their righteous quasi religious vision. I think we have to start treating them as children, not as equals. We have to set boundaries and enforce them. You did the right thing. It seems that a lot of these people are damaged in some way, and certainly under socialized and narcissistic. I feel sorry for them but I don’t think we can afford to indulge them. I think every single one of those teacher on TikTok should be banned from working with children. I think that gender affirming therapy should be replaced with gender acceptance therapy. And those people cutting off healthy body parts and prescribing puberty blockers and cross sex hormones to children should lose their licenses. Surgeries and hormones should only be available to adults. Some people would call that authoritarian. I call it responsible.

These people really don't care about "trans" kids. They care about white knighting. They want to be saviors. It's all about them. It really has nothing to do with caring about transsexuals at all.
