has become a powerful cross-platform social media influencer, spreading anti-LGBTQ+ sentiment and fueling the right wing media's outrage machine.

@WeThePeople would love to read but can’t see it…

Yea, 12ft ladder wont bypass the paywall either
@WeThePeople thanks.. just read it. it’s complex. I was upset, too, until I began having 1:1 conversations w/trans folks, including detransitioners
Imho, Left is moving full throttle ahead, framing this as marginalizing LGBTQ+ but there are also LGB groups that feel triangulated. Right is weaponizing this into “grooming” issue, everyone’s’ hot button. Left needs to review the Dutch clinic studies & proceed cautiously and Right needs to stop being hypocritical. Both are overreaching & angry
@Museek
The last thing I am ever going to do on social media is get into a debate about LGBT issues,..... its the third rail of social media
@WeThePeople @Museek
Ya, this topic has, probably, the most complex structure in the universe!
Human identity, physiology, brain, emotions, culture, personal history, etc.
The best we can do is ask honest questions on the topic.
