 I appreciate you engaging in good faith.

I’m not familiar with the “T and Q” concept here, but the point that an “evil pedo grooming sex cult” is a go-to association with transgender rights shows how far we have gone from supporting people who are “different but frequently marginalized” and could use a little extra support.

There will always be evil in every group or society; it rarely is the benchmark by which to measure the group in question.

Ideology often starts with good intention and transforms into something terribly damaging. Look at religion!

Thanks for the respectful engagement with my (somewhat heated and potentially inflammatory) note 🤝 
 This may help in understanding why some of us are so opposed to the mainstreaming of T and/or Q ideology, if you'd like to look into it a bit more. The author reads from original sources. (language warning).
