Openly mocking trans people, saying their desire to be referred to by pronouns that match their gender is a "woke mind virus" that will "destroy society" (this from a guy who named his child "X Æ A-12" mind you), amplifying the current LGBTQ == pedophile/groomer propaganda push, retweeting conspiracy bullshit about Paul Pelosi's sexuality, blaming him for his own assault while the man was still in the hospital... if these seem middle of the road to you, then perhaps it is the perception you have of your own views that is skewed.

Not wanting adults to have sexual contact with kids or men in the women’s change rooms are both pretty mainstream positions.

  Your delusional insistence that trans people support adults having sexual contact with children is part and parcel of the extremism I'm talking about. One of my oldest childhood friends is a trans man and I have accordingly interacted with many trans individuals. Not a single one has expressed anything but revulsion at that idea, and if you believe that's false then I'm sorry but you're buying into a political narrative whose purpose is to erase people like my friend. And the kicker: you'd seek to make a law forcing my friend to use the women's facilities, and then freak out if you saw them following that law. Because guess what! They look like a man - certainly more traditionally masculine than a few of the pundits pushing these vile narratives that I could name. Despite your insistence to the contrary, nobody I'd associate with wants anyone to be getting sexual gratification by leering at others in dressing rooms. Because believe it or not, we're good people who don't tolerate sex pests. That has nothing at all to do with gender or sexual orientation and everything to do with not being a shitty person. Sadly, it's beyond obvious that the right's performative outrage over men in women's dressing rooms never really had anything to do with protecting women, and everything to do with ostracizing trans folks. I'll leave you with a quote from a guy recently welcomed back to Twitter by Musk himself: "I’ll go backstage before a show, and everyone’s getting dressed and ready and everything else. And you know, no men are anywhere. I’m allowed to go in because I’m the owner of the pageant. And, therefore, I’m inspecting it. I’m inspecting it. I want to make sure everything is good." He went on, as if he was in the dressing room, "'Is everyone okay?' You know, they’re standing there with no clothes. And you see these incredible looking women. And so I sort of get away with things like that."

      > It was quite clear from your uninsightful previous comment that you don't give a shit about women's rights, there's no need to further affirm this via such a cringeworthy effort at sarcasm. I appreciate your gentle feedback on my relationship to women's rights, as well as your your heartfelt stand against bullying. Although I struggle to see how my uninsightful previous comment had anything to do with that topic, I can only assume you've identified something in me to which I've been blinded by my unfortunate grandfathered affection for a living, breathing trans human being. My tragic lack of self-awareness is perhaps because I personally witnessed years of merciless bullying during our shared childhood in one of the most conservative areas of Texas. You see, when I compare my memory of that poorly fitted kid to the successful, kind, and well-loved person they are today, when I consider their deeply personal, hard-fought struggle towards self-acceptance that I myself witnessed, it is easy to miss just how insidiously they are, in fact, perverting our society to its certain doom. So subtle is this agenda of destruction that one might be forgiven for thinking it doesn't even exist at all. Going forward I will do my best to defend women's rights by demanding that my friend accept upon h̶i̶m̶s̶e̶l̶f̶ herself the mantle of traditional femininity, no matter what h̶e̶ she may think about that or how cruelly it will be received by the sort of people who tormented h̶i̶m̶ her in our formative years. You've truly made a difference today.
