I can't even begin to fathom why anyone other than my wife and family would care what's going on between my ears?
Well, I am interested in your opinions since the topic appears to be salient for you. Other than that, I certainly do not care much except to the extent you want to share.
It does seem however that within the public discussion there is an attempt to paint skeptics of gender ideology as busybodies. As I see it the opposite has been the case. The skeptics have made a point of being unconcerned with subjective mental experiences except to the extent that those feelings are used to support statements such such as, "Trans women are women" that are then used to justify percieved intrusions of men into womens-only private spaces, unfair participation of boys in girls-only sport, and the concerns about irreversible medical procedures being performed on minors. Maybe the feelings of biological women for privacy, girls' feelings of being cheated out of scholarships, and/parent's feelings that activists are interferring with private parent-child relationships do not matter to activists, but if the activists dismmisses their feelings then why should those folks respect the feeling of the activists?
