i keep seeing people tag 3rd wave posts 4th wave because “but now with more intersectionality”. like you’re just describing 3rd wave but more intensely.
the next wave is a reaction. you can’t be both third and fourth wave because fourth wave is starting now and it’s very anti third.
Well put.

This is one of several comments I’ve received from people who appreciate the message and purpose of this blog, but feel that they have to keep their gender-trans-queer critical thoughts to themselves in their personal and professional lives due to the very real risk of losing friends, colleagues, or family. One earlier commenter even said they would actually lose their **home** if they criticized trans/queer dogma.
Most of us using Tumblr live in societies where free speech is supposedly valued, yet even a whisper of disagreement when it comes to the dominant identity and gender paradigm is tantamount to criticizing the government in an authoritarian society.
I have been really encouraged by the voices I’ve heard on Tumblr. I started the blog hoping to attract other gender-critical parents (and I still very much want that), but it’s the amazing young people who are going to be the next wave that will, I hope, help create a change with their strong feminism and clear-eyed criticism. Thank you. I’m learning so much from everyone I encounter in this womb gestating new ideas and determination, deep inside the Internet.
