I got to thinking how polarized this gender and transgender thing has gotten. It is not at all new.
What is new is how it has become weaponized and exploited.
I grew up reading Heinlein and in several of his books characters switched physical gender/sex (whatever these words mean) and back without much to-do. In that future, this was as normal as changing clothes it seemed.
So, as I say, I have no problem being friends with trans folks as long as they don't have an issue with me being a confirmed hetero.
Frankly the subject is old, old news and does not interest me much but I did a quick search for Heinlein to refresh my memory

Anyhow, the point IMO is that we must not get sucked in and conflate honest homosexuality, bisexuality, or trans with attempts to seduce the children.
That is the enemies' strategy and whenever we say we want to protect the children they scream lies.
Gender is probably a spectrum and always has been but sex cannot be changed at the chromosomal level regardless of how hard some pretend.
