Why is the western world being catapulted into massive shifts in law, language & our institutions 4 a tiny % of the population that merely percieves themselves as different (trans ID-ing ppl are not different, biologically speaking) at a speed that is socially unprecedented?
1/

Why is no one allowed to talk about this? Why are people threatened? Does this seem like any civil rights movement you've ever seen before?
2/

Why does this purportedly vulnerable, marginalized, at-risk group of people have the full support of the state, governments, corporations, banks, the CIA, tech & pharma?
3/

& since they have the full support of all those entities, Hollywood & the media, why are they still considered marginalized, vulnerable & at-risk? No other civil rights movement that I am aware have ever had this type of state sanctioned support
4/

Feminists, conservatives, democrats, parents, Muslims, LGBs & average citizens who dare to ask these questions or any questions are figuratively mauled, are aggressed, doxed, shouted down, fired, threatened & harassed. I ask again, what kind of "civil rights movement" is this?
5/

What kind of civil rights movement allows for, promotes & celebrates the dramatic harm to children's healthy bodies? Mastectomies, puberty blockers, cross sex hormones & phalloplasties. Have you ever seen a "civil rights movement like this"?

Sorry, that was #6

Have you ever seen a "civil rights movement" hit the western world running & in the span of 5yrs completely upend it for a population many people had never even heard of before because they were that rare?

What should we do about this "civil rights movement" that is wreaking havoc on women's rights, children's bodies, the law, medicine, our ability to speak openly without being censored by the state? Should we wait and see what happens? What do you think might happen?

This is the crucial part - for people to start thinking about these things instead of just going along to get along because you may think you're safe but the ability to speak about the mounting harms is fast dwindeling. A totalitarianism is settling in on us. It's here.
