Always nice to have good stories on here.
So my young relative came over from where he lives abroad so we could meet his new partner, first time bringing a male. Both are early 20s.
We did all the Easter celebrations then he took my sister and I out for lunch as a thanks.
My sister is unfortunately, deep in twaw and lives in a part of the country that is super woke. That's all fine but she brings it up constantly, every opportunity, there's a dig about Rowling or outrage about parents stopping kids going onto puberty blockers.
Usually I just keep my mouth shut because she loves an argument and it's always In front of an audience so I don't want to make a big fuss with everyone there and ruin the mood.
Anyway she clearly thought she had a receptive audience and started on the outrage. My cousin gently put her down on each and every point. Raised concern about drugging children, brought up examples of his friends who were subject to social contagion. Brought up the threat to safe spaces, rapists in prisons. He said he loved harry potter and they planned to go to hp world and get wands.
It was glorious, and for the first time I spoke out too! She was very quiet and then clumsily started to agree with him on some points that contradicted her earlier pointd.
There's hope people!
