Oh interesting. You think TikTok influenced their gender identity? I mean some people are highly suggestible, so it can certainly happen. But here’s what is interesting: whenever I clear my cache and kind of “reset” my algorithm, I always joke about the amount of lonely-looking but adorable dudes that it shows me until I retrain it with my search bar. It’s like it wants me to love men even more than I already do. Haha. Not possible, TikTok, but nice try. 😆
My sibling watched it happen in real time during the plandemic. Even had to threaten a divorce if they started surgically mutilating their body. That stopped the progression and got them off tik tok. Even to this day my sibling hopes that is is just a fad. So they play along placating to their brainwashed ego. Hoping for one day that the person they married finally wakes up.
Sometimes I really do wonder if all the endocrine disruptors are fucking with us. But I can see how during the Rona there was a huge focus on “beauty” and “makeup” and I, for one, didn’t get on TikTok until 2023 and even still I can’t stand makeup content because I worked in the beauty industry where they required me to wear that crap on my face every day haha - but I can see how that content genre is really aligned with drag queen culture - kind of maximalist makeup. So that’s my theory is the makeup industry is behind all of this. Haha
