No. Also: Suffragettes and abolition of slavery were both called crazy in their time.

The word "Suffragette" was originally an insult:

(As was the word “scientist“).

In their time triple distilled water containing radium was sold as an energy drink, they thought bathing was unhealthy, and they ate mercury.

I will go out on a limb and say we can judge things a bit better now.

Sure, right now we accept plastic and plasticisers everywhere around us. Which is crazy. And quite probably contributes to the great hormonal disruption and the trans craze.

Interesting intuition. Do you know of any research suggesting a causal link between plastics and more trans visibility?

This type of transphobia would be hilarious if it wasn’t so harmful.

Reducing the entire history of transgenderism down to a “craze” is a perfect culmination of your ignorance and fear.
