There are many people who will in all earnestness be shocked and horrified by those making the self-evidently true observation that this is not a man who found his authentic self by dosing himself with exogenous hormones but instead a very troubled woman caught up in a viral contagion of medicalized self-harm that she is helping to spread. Those people have been propagandized out of reality.
There are many powerful institutions that will restrict the right to speak and even attack the right to transact on their platforms for asserting this self-evident truth. Those institutions have been captured by those propagandized out of reality.
There has never been an eruption of such blatant absurdity and state sponsored falsehood in any of our lifetimes. It is a practical and moral imperative to assert our right to say the self-evident truth by saying it. It's the only way to dispel the veil of mystification and repression foundational to the sustenance of a movement built on reality denial that has gone further than any other such movement in capturing the institutions that control what we can say and think.

Many turn to a variety of cult-like practices and institutions to cope. (Scientology, the Reverend Moon, etc.) We don't ban them for those old enough to consent and bear the consequences. And many of those cults do in fact help people by giving them a sense of purpose and a community in exchange for much of their wealth.
But this cult is different: it has captured the state and civil society and its demand that everyone accept or merely pay continual verbal tribute to its tenets. It's a demand that is incompatible with a pluralistic, liberal society where freedom of speech, belief, and unbelief are all enshrined in its founding principles.
It's a demand that this society must refuse.

And the medical and psychiatric and social work and educational and cultural establishments, each of which fell under the sway of this movement. It's an extraordinarily strange and poignant story.
Society must say no.
Society must say no.
