So you only accept converts so long as their conversion was a long time ago? You're not answering the fundamental problem of your stance, only putting an artificial time limitation on it. If you want people to come around to your views, if you want people to improve, would you not accept them, regardless of how long ago or how soon it was? If you reject new converts wholecloth, you dismiss push away people who would otherwise become your ally. That's not the mentality we should engender if we wish people to realize the truth and accept our views.
I changed several of my above viewpoints in just the last few years, with most occurring between 2016 and 2020. I'm a relatively new convert to many of my current stances. By your own standards, I am unwelcome, and everything I say is false and disingenuine.
They can convert. They just shouldn't be leaders or influencers in conservative movements. i do not trust such people (especially women) and you won't change my mind on it
Saint Paul was exactly that. Went from hunting Christians to becoming one of the core preacher (then eventually one of the biggest leader) in a matter or weeks.
I do think that's a good point, but this chick isn't leading anyone. I know you're annoyed at her opinions on X this week but that's literally all it is.
One of the most truth bound Christians I ever found was on Youtube, the two men doing the Stone Choir podcast. Don't forget that many of us attempt to use the platforms that we know are controlled by our enemies, to invade the enemy's space, to preach the truth.

I agree with this somewhat. Leaders should be the best of us, should know what we know, and must prove themselves.

I'm not asking you to blindly and naively accept everyone. I'm asking for you to forgive people who actually repent and accept truth.
There are obviously devious people, false converts, grifters, subversives, and liars who will always attempt to enter our spheres, homes, and nations, in an attempt to take them over and destroy them. Do not welcome or accept those people, but be sure you know how to spot them, and the differences between them and true converts.
With regards to women, they are easily manipulated, because they're less logical and more emotional than men. They are not meant to lead. We are to lead them. If we lead them, and they accept our ways, they aren't a false convert. They will always try to err, but that is the nature of women, and to a slightly lesser extent humans as a whole. If women could never be trusted of their convictions, they'd never be able to enter Heaven, because all of their prostrations and repentance would be meaningless.

I'll put it this way. How much would you be in favour of a male priest giving his opinions about pop culture on X?
Idk, I don't really feel any type of way about it lol. Just would hope he's not a retard.
she's got a youtube channel and is an influencer on youtube
And you're free to not watch. I love Mel even though I'm not a Christian and thinks she goes too extreme at times.
