When the “woke” mania swept the country in 2020, I took a step back and reevaluated where I stood and why I stood there. To my surprise, I found that I agreed with conservatives and libertarians on a number of issues. I opposed childhood gender transitions, unlawful and divisive DEI mandates, and the excesses of Critical Race Theory. I argued against biological males competing in women’s sports and being housed in women’s prisons. I did so loudly and publicly, losing many friends along the way. My stance wasn’t rooted in hate or fear but in a commitment to reason and fairness. My loyalty was to the truth, not to political tribes. Maintaining my integrity cost me greatly, but I believed it was worth it.
I figured that much out at “childhood gender transitions,” before I even got to the part you quoted. She started the list off with a fictional boogeyman.
(Puberty blockers are literally the opposite of “childhood gender transitions” as the entire point is to stall for time until adulthood.)
Puberty blockers were the compromise, and the right shat all over it. There’s no reason to play ball and not just let younger teens have HRT now
