Likeability is our Achilles heel as a species. We trust and reward people we like. Predators know this, and the good predators hone their charm.
Like many people, I used to support a number of "trans" people that I liked, only fighting the excesses of the movement. Until I figured out a few things

1. The lie of trans identity itself is the excess. Nobody transitions, no altered man is more trans than another. Johnny Yaniv, David Hayton, Blaire White. They can claim to kinda be on our side but they want to retain the lie. It's the lie that is the problem.
Being nice makes people want to accommodate them. Being an ally on one issue (child transition, sports) makes people want to accommodate them.
But the accommodation of the lie is the problem.
This is where so-called ULTRAs have it right.

Men like Ray Blanchard are also very charming and well spoken, but again they want to retain an unworkable lie for some instead of working to dismantle it. He says it's unrealistic to dismantle it, but that's because he doesn't fight for it. He sees a world in which the men he sympathizes with use women's bathrooms and nothing can be done to stop it. He could instead fight for real treatment and real self control of these men.

"Nothing can be done" to stop it while men like him normalize it, that's why it persists. The medical establishment has no business normalizing this, it's overwhelmingly harmful to both the patient and others around them. But the medical and academic-medical establishment LIKE theoretical work. They like alterations. They like the idea that trans is a good and workable idea. They gain from it, they profit from it. 2/ Letting people you like have exceptions to do something that is wrong, is wrong. It's common, but it's wrong. We let people we like get away with things.
I get it, I have gay friends who identify with the trans model and there was a time I thought "who cares."
Until I found out how dangerous and harmful the illusion is. Like many, Ive tried to figure out how we can have it both ways. I am liberal, I like people to do what they want, within reason.
But giving men titty skittles and letting them have access to women's sports and spaces isn't within reason. It's unsafe, it's medically unsound, it is deception based.

Sure, there are individuals who are captured by the illusion who mean no harm. They are brainwashed, they think it's a thing.

It's up to the rest of us to say "it's not a thing. I'm sorry people told you it was a thing, but it's not. We are not playing along with it."

Medical, media and academic figures who MADE trans a thing have much to answer for

This is just a reminder. If you express outrage over men breastfeeding babies and asking for tampons from 11 year olds, but you promote the narrative that the "old style" trans are safe, you have two major inconsistencies to face.
1/ 2/ First, men like JYaniv are post op and remain as dangerous as fully intact trenders. The men like Blaire White have so much support in this community but retain their penises. The idea that post op TS is safer than TG is arbitrary.

Non-binary is trending,
Nobody is non-binary and the claim is much more than annoying narcissism and attention seeking.
It's the gender lobby's most effective tool to recruiting people to reject their sex class and to feel they have a stake in erasing sex class in language, law and policy. It's the fast track to convincing women to abandon their political class and claim a gender identity (which is designed to erase sex class in language, law, sports, and policy.)
1/
By declaring normal 2/ non-feminine, non-masculine aesthetics (appearance styles) as making some women non-women, they/thems, the gender lobby is able to recruit any women who reject femininity to take the societal and political stand that their appearance makes them non-women. Some of these women are bribed to support the agenda of sex class erasure, some have no idea what the implications are.
But the implications are that when women or society see non-feminine women as non-women and see feminized men as women, then the link between sex class the word WOMAN are severed.

When the word woman becomes detached from it's function as being a sex class identifier,

@SariboCook Feminism is activism FOR females BY females for FEMALE issues. Male inclusive and "genderology' feminism is the patriarchial establishment rebranding itself.

#SignsItMustBeACult is trending.
Gender identity ideology is a cult, but not only that, a harmful cult doing damage that most people are unaware of.
Thread of Damage

First, while genderologists tell you it frees people from stereotypes, it doesn't do that. Instead of arguing to break stereotypes based on one's sex, it argues to redefine yourself by stereotypes, creating new boxes, new tribalism, and dissassocaition and medicalization that goes with those boxes 2/ #SignsItMustBeACult

As someone who was briefly part of the alternative queer scene and am pretty in favor of adults having weird private sexual tastes, AGP ( I dated one) still poses a problem. That's because it's more than a private kink. My experience with AGP men is that it is more than a kink

it is a personality disturbance which is fueled by the hormones and arousal of kink. Again, you say, so what, we cannot criminalize narcissism or kink. We can't, but we can and should be critical of kink in the public being accepted and normalized-what I saw of MOST AGP men

I am a leftist, but I am willing to be critical of left wing parties, establishments, and "women's" orgs that have failed women by pandering to this ideology. These are not personal attacks. We have been captured, we have tried to play along. some of us meant well, some

It's not extremist to refuse to think that altered men are women. We have normalized the illusion that this is good and acceptable, and we can un-normalize it by changing the language and concepts that frame these men as women -and reassert that they are men.

The key to this as I see it is twofold for those of us who don't want to legislate what people can do for our bodies. That is, convincing the public and the medical establishment that these interventions are unethical in the same way that removing limbs are...

AGP is trending. AGP is a paraphilia in which a man is aroused by seeing himself as sex object-which he frames as womanhood. I dated an AGP man thinking it was just clothing. It was not, it was a personality disturbance. I DO support men who like feminine clothing to an extent-

I used to think that we could co-exist with trans identity. I don't really now. I mean, its arguable that we can't stop people from wearing and altering how they want, but how we recognize that has to change: the model where we pretend they are quasi members of the opposite sex

something that is absolutely shocking to me is that if you need services for depression or mental health crisis in Canada, you can't access them without being bombarded with gender identity propaganda. Providers, even providers like Catholic social services, which provide
