    Politics has become an utter clown show. No matter who is in power, it always ends up to be some weirdo.

    Is it rly a surprise that people lean further left and further right, into the extreme political right and the extreme political left?

    Where else should people go, when what used to be the compromise of reason has become the embodiment of failure?

      All I know is I have been called a “leftist” for not wanting to compromise with people who think trans people shouldn’t be allowed to live. At best they want them to live a segregated existence. If that’s “extreme” and “polarized” of me then something is really, really broken.

        Well. In some twisted way it is polarising and broken.

        Trans right activists have pushed far too strong and too far. Probably as well in a reactionary sense to an extremist right position.

        Trans right debates have gone so far to ignore biology in a sense. Forcing an idea that there are multiple genders. An idea everyone should be entitled to have, but no one should be forced to believe so.

        There are trans people activists calling for the death of all men, again in a reactionary sense against positions of the far right, whom themselves have been polarised further.

        It doesn’t matter who started. But the spiral doesn’t seem to end anytime soon.

          What does this even mean? Why is there a speed limit on giving people equal rights? What did trans people do to make republicans kick them out of bathrooms and legislate away pronouns?

          I’m not going to bother continuing to respond to your other points. You’re clearly a bigot/transphobic. You think they deserve this.

            What does this even mean? Why is there a speed limit on giving people equal rights?

            Regardless of the current topic, every social and cultural development needs a speed limit. Radical change leads to radical currents. Because unchecked socio-cultural development depends on people. It does not involve people, but issues a dictate. And whether this dictate is progressive and positive is a moot point. But oppressive constraints lead to counter-movements.

            What did trans people do to make republicans kick them out of bathrooms and legislate away pronouns?

            First of all, trans people were assigned a gender at birth.

            And what is written on a document, that’s what’s valid. Accordingly, Republicans are not kicking trans people out of bathrooms, they are maintaining the status quo and enforcing an enforcement of the current norms.

            Your point is more that Republicans are standing in the way of trans people making a change in their documents that legally assures them the use of the bathroom they want.

            I’m not going to bother continuing to respond to your other points. You’re clearly a bigot/transphobic. You think they deserve this.

            This is unfortunate. I would have liked to further discuss this.
