Coming back to the OP of this thread.
I'm lucky enough to have family and most friends who agree with me that transgenderism is a dangerous ideology and that trans medecine is not evidence based and is the biggest medical scandal of our time which has done (and is still doing) untold harm.
However I do have some friends who are still captured.
I avoid the subject with those friends and instead put my energy into useful actions such as supporting people who are speaking out and contacting institutions that can actually make a difference.
Also whenever I'm feeling frustrated or hopeless about where we are with all this I read or listen to the people who are doing brilliant work to combat the madness.
I highly recommend Helen Joyce's book and the podcasters who have been brave enough to give her a platform.
It makes me feel so much better and positive to know that there are sensible, brilliant people who are doing the hard and important work of turning the tide.
This will pass. At the moment we are still in the midst of massive social contagion and ideological capture. But the tide is turning.
At the moment much of the general public still thinks that transgenderism is a civil rights movement akin to gay rights. But people are starting to sit up and take notice and the harms done are so terrible that there is no getting away from them.
In my opinion what we need to do currently is fight against the sterilising of children and the removal of their healthy body parts. We need to do that in order to stop the damage and also to expose these interventions as gay conversion and human rights abuse. It has to stop because it is so so terrible. It is also (due to its awfulness) what will make the whole house of cards come tumbling down.
We will get there. And your son will catch on once the court cases and inquiries start piling up.
