My daughters have drunk the trans Kool Aid. The mere suggestion that a transperson, or someone claiming to be a transperson, could ever have but the purest of intentions makes them cry hot tears. A mildly expressed view that perhaps trans rights should not be put first in all instances, or might sometimes conflict with the interests of woman and girls, causes more blubbing, because it means their mum is JUST LIKE TRUMP.
I can't be the only person dealing with this, so please help me explain to them - calmly and politely - why a perfectly reasonable 40-something middle class woman might object to self ID.
(I've namechanged for this because I might show them the thread and I don't want them to know my regular username, but I've been here a long time).
