Trans people are just straight up gaslighting liars.
Like most leftoids. Also, I really wish their language didn't seep everywhere. I know they didn't create the term "gaslighting," but they certainly push it the most, and it's almost always bullshit. Like with a lot of their claims, they're projecting. If anyone is "gaslighting," it's the lefty masses. They're masters at it. It helps that they control the Overton window, of course.
Doesn't mean it's not still cringe though. I'm glad the "woke" smear is effective, but the term is still annoying. Same goes for gaslighting, and pretty much anything else the right could take from the left. Which doesn't mean it shouldn't happen, but it's a double-edged sword.

Sometimes, conservatives can successfully co-opt leftist language and use it against them, though. Woke used to be their word.

If your reality is subjective, anyone who challenges any part of your worldview is “gaslighting” you.
I associate the concept of "gaslighting" with COVID lies and authoritarianism, but I'm sure it was used colloquially before the world went mad.
