These “activists” are posers. Posers look like they could be trans people but they are not. In reality they are David Bowie saying he’s bisexual and playing Ziggy Stardust. Films have been made about this part of gay culture that goes all the way back to Wilde and Woolf. The danger is that this iteration has grown political teeth at the expense of culture. What to do about it? I feel that joining Gays Against Groomers is as much an activist poser trap. I can have an opinion, and I can not silence those I disagree with, but beyond that I’m as beholden to this censorship as anyone else. Perhaps more so because people expect me to be a “good trans.”

I do not agree with what you have to say, but I’ll defend to the death your right to say it.
