This is fabulous. Well done. I am looking forward to learning more about Gen Z and why they are swallowing this! I'm Gen X and all ears!

So glad to read the words of a young, wise gender critical woman. As the mother of two GenZers, I am very aware of what young people are up against and why it's hard for those who reject trans ideology to speak out. I will keep reading your work and will share it, too! We older GC women need your perspective.

I am a Mom to a self proclaimed FtM 17yo trans kid. The tragedy this ideology has inflicted upon our family is inconceivable and an absolute nightmare. I honestly do believe this must be the end of times. ( btw, I'm not religous) How could we have lost our minds so damn quickly? How did we turn the rights of women around in a blink? Why did my daughter, raised by a strong single Mom with Aunties all around, choose being a man over being one of us?

It warms my heart knowing there are women, all ages, races, religions, fighting this paralyzed gender inadequacy. PLEASE SAVE YOURSELVES!!! Unfortunately, other young people are too weak to be saved by a transgender cult who has ripped the world apart.With all my gratitude and love, KEEP FIGHTING 🙏

Delighted to read about your letter to Sturgeon!

I’m 20 years older than you and feel zero pressure to conform to gender ideology. I’m lucky, I work for myself and am surrounded by logical people. I have two teenage sons who are equally baffled by this movement and I’m extremely thankful that they aren’t vulnerable to it by peers.

I'm an Xer raising a currently a pre teen girl and have watched this slow motion genderwashing train wreck with great concern. Grateful that some of you have remained 'unbitten'. What will the world look like when my girl is my age? I shared some snippets of this essay with her and we have previously discussed biological reality and delusions of genderideology.

I've told her to keep quiet at school but to watch carefully the behaviour of those most wrapped up in it. I've told her, if pressed just to say she's third generation queer, (my dad is gay) second generation neurodivergent, Jewish down the female line, named after one of the most amazing non gender conforming women (Tilda Swinton) and they better not start assuming anything about her. 😜

Keep up the good work. I have subscribed.

I’m not a young woman (43), and have been a lifelong liberal (in the U.S.) Your analogy of being the last unbitten person in a zombie apocalypse is spot-on. Trying to navigate my friendships on this subject (and subsequently a few others) has been frustrating and infuriating at times. Many of them are perfectly willing to believe that because I don’t ardently adhere to the party line I’ve suddenly become a brainwashed bigot.

I’ve since found that instead of keeping quiet, it really is helping others when I continue to patiently engage with reactionary friends commenting on my posts. I hope you continue with your work here!
