Thank you as always. Your grounded, experienced and brave stance - and willingness to share your complicated story - has been an enormous comfort to me as a Leftie parent of a 19 y/o TID who ticks all the ROGD boxes.
I have so much respect for you! Seven years ago, my youngest child hoped upon this roller coaster. I had so much cognitive dissonance from the start. It was frustrating to hear and know that much of the world believed “the Emperor had beautiful new clothes”. Your testimony means so much to me and so many others.
Someone on Twitter made a skeleton roller coaster meme but I can't find it now. It labeled the people on the way up the roller coaster as people new to the gender ideology struggle who assume compromise is possible. The people coming down as screaming skeletons are those who have been in the fight for a while.
You have set a brave example of how to change your mind. Your integrity and willingness to challenge the status quo within your own group is inspiring. I too experienced a slow awakening to the danger and corruption of the transgender message and movement on the left. It has been difficult to speak out, I have lost friends and opportunities as a result but I couldn’t ignore what was right once I saw it. Your story helps me continue to be brave and I am sure I am not alone in that. You are a true hero. Thank you for all you have done.

The truth will help us all repair.
The roller coaster image is so apt!

Here is the image--just imagine the labels!
