[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is the left going to continue to push for social change?

Oh, yes you say?

Then we will continue to whine while more and more social changes occur in a leftwards direction.[/quote]

Accepting gay and trans people and allowing them to live their lives is basic human decency.    [/quote]

Like many if not most people I don't have issues with letting trans people live the gender they prefer, but I do have real issues with the sudden revisionist of biology to pretend that people can be born the wrong gender, or that gender is on a spectrum and that there are more than two genders, and renaming pregnant mothers pregnant people. I don't think trans people have an automatic right to access spaces normally preserved for the opposite gender.

Wokeism has real problems because so much of it is not grounded in common reality but abstract ideas and theories. And the big push for DEI is counterproductive and quite often harmful, such as removing advanced classes in schools and imposing a one size fits all policy on a diverse population with diverse capabilities.

Ultimately, these are all policies, not natural rights. As such they will always be heavily political. Telling people to shut up and go away is denying people their political voice. Everyone has the right to voice concerns, on both sides. But it also doesn't mean everyone can get what they want. [/quote]

There are aspects of trans activism that are not nearly as black and white as they make it out to be.

Trans women, in particular, have gotten extreme in demanding people conform to their ideology.  For example, I remember a lesbian getting called a bigot for not wanting to have sex with a trans woman.  Then you have trans women wanting to be in rape call centers, female prisons, or other women-only spaces.  I can understand where trans women are coming from, but I also understand where cis women are coming from.  But pushback by cis women gets met with hostility up to and including rape threats.

Trans activists keep pushing the envelope, and it's getting tougher to stay on board.  The vibe is not at all like the push for gay marriage.[/quote]
