Yes. When so many kids/teens who want to transition are gay or lesbian (and may be struggling with that), how is it sensible to make alliances with people who have made a career of anti-gay activism?https://twitter.com/4th_WaveNow/status/1252290347755081729 …

This is a simplistic idea of democratic process, which is about collective problem solving. When you have a problem, you ask people for help until you get a yes. When you ask a legislature, you ask all the legislators. When you ask the voters, you ask for all their votes.

When you have a problem that LGB and autistic kids are getting sterilized and maimed because their families and doctors think something is “wrong” with them, we think you should ask for help stopping that as a first priority. If you think it’s very important, you ask everyone.

This isn’t Survivor, or Big Brother, where we get to kick people off the island. If we want everyone to care about these kids, and we do, we keep asking for that. If we want things to change, by definition, we have to ask people who have different opinions.

Your constant disingenuous attempt to reframe our narrow point--that known anti-gay politicians & orgs aren't the best choice for front matter on a parent guide or to lead a fight re: peds transition--as refusing to "talk to" conservatives or Christians in general is duly noted.

The steady success in the UK to slow down peds transition wouldn't be happening if the very effective activists there had listened to your sage advice. They don't allow their movement to be hijacked by the same ppl who lost the battle against gay marriage--and neither should we.

It's also notable that WolF and surrogates have publicly defamed 4thWaveNow & @bjontry for daring to make this
point on Twitter, while never pressuring the extreme anti-gay individuals and orgs to make any changes in their views. The pressure is applied in only one direction.1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -

Do you have omniscient access to all of our conversations, too? Do you remember last night, when Jontry repeated false allegations of abuse against a conservative parent? Do conservative parents and their families not count, in your opinions, as being worthy of concern?

None of you had to compare conservatives opposed to gender identity to David D*ke, but you did. None of you had to suggest that parents who work with conservatives are behaving inappropriately, or unlovingly towards their children, for publicly telling their stories, but you did.

You’ve attacked those parents, and now feminists pointing that out, rather than uniformly criticizing all the other signatories of the Guide. Some of them you think of well, and you’ve left them alone. As if there were ... something else, what could it be ... motivating you.

Why would we "uniformly criticize" all signatories to the Guide? We've pointed out why we think specific orgs/individuals who wrote FRONT MATTER were a bad choice.

Brie Jontry called us a “hate org” for defending the broad partisan reach of the endorsements. Are you prepared to make the same accusations towards every other organization whose members signed the guide and haven’t joined you in public condemnation of it?

You (deliberately or otherwise) keep missing the point. This was never about "partisanship," religion, or cons v. libs. When we point out the extreme anti-gay careers of some who were INVITED to endorse & write material for the guide, you just repeat the same trope. Muting now.
