Wow crying here. I want to scream and yell that this movement is meant for fetishistic men to act out in public, it’s about young girls running away from themselves, it’s about lying adults letting them believe they can actual change their biology. It is a men’s movement. It is ANTI gay! How can people not see that. They are probably so open minded that their stupid brains fell out. I believe that women who cater to this are morally bankrupt or worse mentally ill. If you allow the mangling of the language you have no solid foundation in law, in sports, in medical setting. This is a nightmare of epic proportions.
Those who consider themselves trans allies don’t hesitate to engage in such cruel and horrifying behavior. They don’t hesitate to follow through on their threats either, cutting the grandchildren out of Grandma’s life. And cutting her out of theirs.
Yes, this is the weapon of choice, and those who wield it are too cowardly even to admit that they are being cruel. My heart aches for the grandchildren who are pawns in this nastiness.
I am so encouraged to see that after all these years, you are still here and our numbers are growing. We need to protect our children and women from this ideology. Keep up the great work!
BTW, I seem to have lost your e-mail address. I'm now at rwhitney55@outlook.com. Please shoot me a quick e-mail when you get a minute. I am now recovering from cancer surgery and hope to get back into the fight in Illinois before long.
Oh, the pain of our friends and family turning on us is all too relatable. I've lost numerous friends over this, and there are others who I want to grab by the shoulders and shake sense into, perhaps even share your video with. Unfortunately, I can't really do that without putting strains on relationships which have already been strained in the past. So... it's more so a matter of waiting for those people to join me of their own volition, if they ever do.
This is outstanding! Clear, calm, comprehensive, backed with evidence and references. A great video to share with friends and family who are resistant to understanding and learning about the impacts of gender identity ideology. Carol, you do amazing work. I am so grateful.
> Gender Identity Ideology intentionally drives a wedge between trans-identifying individuals and any loved ones who have doubts about that ideology. It also intentionally drives a wedge between so-called “trans allies” and their loved ones.
This lens, this talk of people supporting the idea of trans people as rooted not in their sincere belief as individuals but a product of being "captured", is deeply unhelpful. It misrepresents things, simply put: People who sincerely believe in something are not being held captive, certainly not in a way that means you might change their view if you share one more tweet or one more video.
The behaviours that you describe, of people changing their relationships with you such that trans issues do not come up in conversation and of ending their relationships entirely, are not he behaviours of people pressured or coerced by an external force. They are, rather, the decisions taken by people who sincerely disagree with you on an issue, to the point that they preclude any discussion of the topic. They fear your elaboration of your views will make it impossible for them to keep up the relationship with you, by their own consciences.
All I can say, if you are intent on trying to force conversations with people close to you and if you know that these conversations will end badly because they sincerely disagree with you, is that you have to accept the implosion or downgrading of these relationships. This is a cost other people have encountered in other social movements, and, in truth, it has to be paid. You simply cannot force people into the relationship you want.

Hi Carol. I'm sure you're already aware of this, but would love to see your take on it: https://www.them.us/story/washington-lgbtq-inclusive-school-curricula

You are right! I finally spoke out to my book club. I was shaking. Their eyes were huge! But I was not cancelled and it was a relief to get it out.
Thanks for all you do!
