I had no problem with trans people-- even had a friend who was trans back before it was "cool"-- until my daughter got to middle school age and was influenced by the toxic social contagion that trans (and many other sexual things) has become.
Now I see it as no different than anorexia or "cutting"-- just a way to self-harm for social validation. At least among girls of that age. Any girl who is a tomboy is shamed for not demanding hormone treatments and calling herself trans.
Among her friends (and enemies) not a single one will admit to being "cis". Not one. What they "identify" as changes daily, but the horror of not being lesian, bi, trans, or a furry is too awful to entertain. Yeah, most of them will probably grow out of it, but they are still being harmed and losing an important part of their adolescence by obsessing over something harmful.
Adults, do what you want (until you start violating others), but demanding-- and using the violence of the state against those who don't do what you want-- that people use the incorrect pronoun (or imaginary ones) and I'm done accommodating you. Every human being has equal and identical rights-- but the right to force others to say certain words or not say certain (truthful) words isn't one of them. It's not "transphobic" there is no fear) to speak the truth.
I had no idea that it was this bad. It isn't that way here as far as I know but I don't have any children. Sad state of affairs right now I'm afraid.
