I exist in a world where the harms of gender ideology is very prevalent. I am also seeing there is a turning of conversations. With more cases being brought forward of the harm done owing to gender affirmative care and gender ideology I am hoping that this continues. Over the weekend was a major conference looking at this very issue, again this conference was targeted to be shut down (unsuccessfully) and the TRAs arrived shouting there usual nonsense. I am seeing a shift in the debate and I'm curious what others are experiencing in their own worlds?
AIBU?
Is the tide turning regarding gender ideology?

You hope that more cases of people regretting transition come forward?
Please tell me your OP just reads badly and that you're not genuinely hoping more people become upset over their transition?

It should never have gained any traction. Its utter lunacy.

I hope so.
My concern is whilst there is money to be made in lucrative cosmetic surgeries and lifelong pharmaceutical dependence as well as future fertility treatments then the pushing will continue.
I will continue to push back. I encourage others to do the same.
If you want clarification on what I'm pushing against - it's the promotion of harmful stereotypes of what it is to be a man or woman, the promotion of changing and damaging your perfectly healthy body to match your transient and manipulated feelings and the refusal to help people struggling with those feelings without insisting their body is 'wrong'.

This isn't about refuting the existence of trans people, but the known explosion of people identifying as trans and the toxicity in particular with TW.
The fact that gender affirming has been allowed to continue for so long is a medical injustice. Many who want to debate it, want there to be effective provision of care but not to the extent it actually damages the person it is professing to help, whilst also impacting the life's of so many other people, mostly women.
