I've done a lot of study into transgenderism lately, and I've come to a thought that really troubled me.

When a kid is groomed into thinking they're trans, they go back home and present their parents with an impossible choice:

Watch your child commit suicide and die or watch her commit suicide and survive.

Every parent on the planet knows what they'd choose.

Transitioning, socially and medically, kills the old identity. They literally call the old name a "deadname." Everyone who loved that person is forced to grieve over that loss. And they are then called transphobic bigots on top of that. The movement is destabilizing and cruel at its heart. It's not about empowerment. It's not about improving mental health. It's just really, really sad, and it's what I woke up thinking about.
