> A contra-narrative to your point is that there exist a minority of people who hold very specific and very dogmatic views about gender. Yes. They're the ones who try to enforce their views at gunpoint. > These people are pushing their views through the education system (I do not know the extent of it, just that it exists), and seemingly without the consent of parents (i.e., social transitions without informing parents). You were going so well until the end, there. They don't enable social transition without parental consent, they insist upon genital inspections without parental consent. Looking at the genitals of pre-pubescent children isn't something which would interest me, but they seem quite keen on it. It isn't something I can condone, of course, and not something I can meet them halfway on. > While I deeply disagree and detest the use of the term "groomer", the people who are doing so, are doing so in reaction to this dogma. Insisting on access to the genitals of children is grooming behavior. Normalizing the idea that strangers get to poke around without consent is pure grooming. It's why I can't accept it.
