Do you hide your GC views under a bushel?

No. It's important to me that I can never be accused of believing that people can change sex or denying the obvious biological differences between men and women.

I'm cautious with two of my (young adult) DSC because they get heated and upset if I don't agree that TWAW. Am open with my own DC and other DSC - DD and DSD2 agree with me (though won't challenge the older siblings about it), my DS disagrees with me but he's still interested in my views and likes to challenge and be challenged so we can be open.

I used to be very cautious at my old workplace because it had a big LGBT+ inclusivity policy that meant I could end up in trouble for expressing my views. Trans issues never came up as part of my job so I saw no reason to go looking for trouble. I'm now at a smaller company where it's just not really an issue.

Most of my friends are in their 40s or 50s and I don't know anyone who's really into all the trans stuff. They think it's all a bit weird. I think it's a much more taboo subject with the young for some reason.

I'm cautiously open about it but I work in a captured organisation.

I have lost so many friends that I now just keep my mouth shut - I am slightly ashamed of myself for this but I am also so upset about having lost friends

Oh and I emailed my local councillors in support of a GC meeting that the trans lobby were trying to block - that felt quite good.

You are a coward, but so am I, and tbh this is quite rational for many of us given what we've seen. I don't mind losing friends if they'd dump me for such views, but I can't afford to lose my job, which sadly is a real possibility. I don't have the fortitude to go through a "crowdfund over a hundred thousand pounds, win at Employment Tribunal" process, though I am lost in admiration of those who do. So as it is, I fund such ventures, write letters to politicians, sign very moderate things, and hope for better times ahead. Oh yes, and resolve never to vote for any politician who thinks humans can change sex.

I’ve given up trying to talk about it irl. All my friends believe twaw - even my husband is fully signed up. Feels like I’m the only one who thinks this way sometimes, though I know that’s far from true really.

I am open with my family and close friends - we are all lefty liberal but seem to agree on this, maybe it’s age - but I’m very cautious with people I don’t know well, other school mums etc. My town is very ‘woke’ and there’s a lot of virtue signalling, I think I’d be a pariah.

I hide mine under an enormous sculpture of JKR which I carry about in a builder's hod at all times.
