For those who have kids at university - wokedom

I have no kids, never went to uni - but where I work there are of young graduates who all seem to be totally on board with the trans woman is a woman concept, using pronouns and all manner of wokedom. They all seem like one group who all say the same things, think the same way....

Just for curiosity, if you have children at uni, or just graduated - are there people in this age group who think differently, even if they don't publicly express to their peers/friends that they don't agree with them? I think there must be some individual thought, which must be hard if they want to fit in/not be ostracised.

I think I just want a bit of hope that this period of madness will pass by and people will start to push back against a lot of wokedom. Or is the toothpaste too far out of the tube?

The group in work, which is large, is made up of mainly young females (about 90%) and a couple of gay guys. There is also somebody who has a female name/looks like a female, is actually female, who is now referring to them self as they/them, this is recent. And a female to male transgender. There was one straight young guy who now seems to be keeping his distance. But it is like they are one big group, all on message.

Full wokedom here from my uni child. Bit my head off for saying “he” about Sam Smith while we were in the car listening to his song on the radio. Was full arguing with her younger siblings who were saying “but isn’t he a man?”

I can’t discuss any trans/non binary subjects with her
