Hi all,
I am a lurker and it is only in the past year or so I have learnt about trans rights and women's rights issues.
It scares me. It feels like we have to defend the use of the word woman and if we are gender critical we are seen as outcasts.
My anxiety is at an all time high because of this. I have my own opinions on the subject and when I have voiced them I am met with disdain and made to feel I am wrong.
Being on this board has both scared and reassured me. I feel very unsettled to see how people with gender critical views are treated and I also see that people are starting to push back. I am not brave enough to put me head above the parapet and I thank all here who do.
Thank you.
I suppose what I am asking is, how do I stop feeling scared about this issue? How do those who are brave enough to speak out cope with any anxiety if at all?
I just don't know how to deal with it.
