I probably could have made my post a little clearer but we've talked about this stuff enough and I thought we were already, if I may coin a phrase, "on the same page."
I am as far off the grid as I can manage, increasingly distant from any contemporary zeitgeist as I can make myself, and lately have become aware of just how much this shit-thought has metastasized. I mean, I know the "trans" activists are functionally insane but I had no idea how firmly established this "everything is subjective" nonsense has become.
I had a friend, a guy I talked with every week, a former manager I have stayed in contact with for many years, pull the "trans teen suicide" shit on me a few days ago. This guy is plenty smart enough to figure out that since history prior to the Affirmation Generation is not a killing field of teen suicide then something is wrong with the idea, but instead he excoriated me as some sort of bigoted moon-calf ready to support warehouses of dead kids and even more homeless ones because of bigoted parents. He was so derisive and nasty about it that I had to block him and doubt our weekly talks will continue (and it isn't like I can afford to lose many human contacts). I awoke the next morning so angry I was kicking things over all around the house and that isn't like me.
Yes, it is clearer. Point taken. I think we actually agree---just both a bit ornery.

Hey, take a run. Do something outside and enjoy the day. There are lots of good people out there.
