This is exactly the problem…. Liberals like me generally approach the world with compassion and will use whatever pronouns people want others to use…. But I won’t have that mandated in law or threatened with a big stick.

I won’t have it used to close down important discussions either. I have concerns about both the diagnosticians and general push of the conversation. The extent to which teens are self-diagnosing is troubling for practitioners at the coal face of education and social work. These are complicated issues that require nuanced thoughts and good faith discussions from people who have the capacity to debate such things. Yours is a welcome voice on Medium because it flies in the face of what most adherents of the modern ‘progressive’ movement believe. Eventually tho you will be labelled as a ‘trans-traitor’ or a cissophile and your views can then be safely put aside in favour of the pervasive idiot narrative
