I’m not a westerner nor do live in the US, so repeatedly continue to feel shocked despite the number of times I come across this ideology. However, I applaud your service to your fellow citizens in writing such sensible, logical and relatable points. I especially liked what you said about divorcing children from reality. I recall years ago working for a charity that promoted the importance of play for children, and all this ideology make me think of cosplay (which is a word others have appropriately used) and how that is the antithesis.
The benefits/values of play were described as including physical development, sociability and communication, cognitive thinking, incubating creativity, expressing emotions, nurturing concentration ability, problem solving, self-understanding, taking challenges, building self-confidence, etc. I think you’ve stated well why pronouns and their ideology seems to be for some other purpose.
Whenever one hears, "It's just..." the danger is present and real.
So true!
Superb! And shared!
Doesn't this situation bring to mind Jordan Peterson's cautionary message?

Yes! That tweet is so poignant. I have written about more madness from the social work profession. It’s endless!
Some interesting perspectives, Pamela, including some of which I hadn't considered.
