Moonfuzz needs to tell the absolutists to back the hell off. They are taking any charity logically extended to fellow humans and politicizing it for maximum negative reaction. Threatening JK Rowling? Jeez.

My dear friend Patricia broke into my early corporate days with her humor, her personality, her essential humanness. Yes, she was cross dressing as she sought to transition after the requisite five years of therapy. Twas earlier times, and she was in her late forties.
Pat told me to see that no-one is purely gay or straight - that’s two sides of the same coin. She literally showed me a quarter and the edge between the two sides. Such a wise person.
But this current frenzy - this is something else and it has to be rejected. It leaves no room for nuance or sympathy. Hard, demanding, intolerant. Why? Why crush the opposition instead of forging common ground? I’m baffled by the stridently and very turned off…

Yep, this is the problem. As I was just saying to Nicole above, most "social justice" movements, but the trans activists in particular, are incredibly vicious to members of the in-group who say the wrong thing.
But trans women in particular, desperately need a few prominent, reasonable voices who dare to speak out. In fact, the only prominent people within the trans community who I can think of who are willing to speak out trans men! Buck Angel and Scott Newgent have been leading the chareg against the exremes of gender ideology for years now.
Edited to add: Actually, Blair White and Miranda Yardley are two trans women who have also been speaking up.

Run by misogynist men and/or sexual fetishists.
The true gender dysphorics are about as uncommon as they always were.
And yet the number of teen girls claiming to be "trans" has risen 4000% since 2006.
I remember when the prerequisites for reassignment surgery were very high; a year living as the other gender, passing a stringent diagnosis, etc.; now I read about adolescents going online and getting an eligibility certificate by ticking a few checkboxes, and a counselor who denies the reality of a "trans" claim can lose his job.

This is what the activists have wrought.
