The hatred people like us get for standing against this makes the red scare look rational. I am all for being kind to new people coming in who just didn't take sides before, or even trans supporters that didn't go too far, but we need to hold a LOT of people accountable. Teachers pushing this on students should be fired from their jobs. Politicians that supported it should be voted out. Doctors that performed surgery on children should be imprisoned.
It really does seem to be getting through - I’ve had two sisters and some friends - who’d previously shut me down - recently engage in discussions and reveal how little they really understood about all this.
Still a way to go, I feel, but definitely heading in the right direction.

Thank you for all your dogged work.
