It's not just the gender industry. All the identity hucksters are first and foremost grifters. Hell, pretty much every leftist cause is about conning money out of gullible retards or forcible confiscation from those they can't con.

nobody who talks about empathy constantly has ever experienced it.

Their problem with empathy is how the one and only response allowed is pity, coddling, etc. Sometimes the best response when someone has put themselves in a shitty situation is to encourage them to dig their own way out of it despite the fact that it's a hard and brutal path. That's still empathy, or at least it used to be before this "weaponization" took hold.

Non-leftists need to stop indulging this. STOP using "preferred pronouns" and only refer to these people using whatever said person's biological sex is. You can't have an article shaming these people and play by their rules at the same time. For, or against.
