@Forgivenandsetfree there's some really sad stuff going on and I wish I could say that it will all be ok but with these things you can never tell. I do honestly think more and more people are seeing how destructive some of this is. I hope things work out for your friend.
My grandson is 21 and the other is 15 and both have been brought up to respect the rights of others, but they both really don't get what's going on. 15 year old said they had a few sessions on trans issues at school but he said he felt as though they couldn't ask questions and so he had felt embarrassed to talk about it at home. It wasn't until I asked what they both thought about these issues that we learned he'd felt he was being transphobic if he talked about it at all.
Don't know about you but I call that indoctrination
