Good to meet you too Susan! Yes, I’m encouraged to see that the Hopkins definition received a Dylan Mulvaney-type reception. One thing I’ve done to plant a seed with my friends, who are on the left with me but who I don’t think are actually seeing this hiding-in-plain-sight, multi-headed gender cult for what it is, is to point them to the “Witch Trials of J.K. Rowling” podcast series. I think it’s deeply thoughtful, compassionate and humble, while refusing to pull any punches. My friends found it so engrossing they binge-listened all 7 episodes. I’m alarmed that virtually all of our civic institutions have become propagators and enforcers of the gender cult. It’s so important for Ds to stop propagating the cult and start standing up to it, for the sake of everyone being harmed by it. Not to be too Machiavellian about it, but I also think it would be a huge political win for the Ds to do so. The cult is built on the lie that biological sex is not real, so it’s fundamentally unstable. I hope that once one brave, high-visibility democrat calls this shit out for what it is, an avalanche of support will follow. I can tell from “reader’s picks” comments on NYT articles about all issues trans that congressional democrats are completely out of touch with the democratic electorate.

Barb, everything you write here is spot on, and particularly this: “The cult is built on the lie that biological sex is not real, so it’s fundamentally unstable. I hope that once one brave, high-visibility democrat calls this shit out for what it is, an avalanche of support will follow.” (I’ve been able to get one person, a straight white elderly male, to listen to Witch Trials. Others don’t know what they are missing--it is really terrific!)
