Thanks for the comment, Doreen. The isolation of dissenting voices is a necessary tactic of institutional capture, because the average person must not be allowed to sympathise with that dissent. Sophie Scholl and her peers in the White Rose movement paid with their lives despite not being a threat to anyone. Fortunately, we in the West are not under those conditions today, and it is possible to find support from outside of the captured institution, if not within it.

"Whenever we use a euphemism such as ‘gender-affirming healthcare,’ or allow others to use these phrases without challenge, we are participating in social engineering." I am amazed how many people have no idea what 'gender-affirming healthcare' actually means. It sounds so nice, but the reality is not.
Institutions seem to think they're immune to 'social contagion', but they are not, it's just called 'runaway diffusion' instead.
It's so frightening being in amongst runaway diffusion and being isolated, screaming into a vacuum.

Thanks for the comment, Lisa. The euphemism is needed because the reality is so disturbing. Friends don't encourage friends to remove body parts.
And parents don't encourage kids to remove body parts either. Yet, I have been demonized for not "celebrating" my daughter's breast removal.
Sorry to hear that. I hope your relationship improves.
