personally I didn't care one way or another about transgender issues but I absolutely hate how they've managed to completely hijack liberal politics and create such a strong backlash with some of their tomfoolery that now lgb members are seeing attempts to rollback their own progress in being accepted. I have no doubt russia and china's crackdown on the lgb community is a dogwhistle backlash based on reactions to the behavior we've been seeing in the US with regards to gender equality.
I miss when liberal meant everyone had a right to exist (including transgenders) and promoting policies that create equitable opportunities and infrastructure. We should be talking about how to build more high speed rail, deconstructing the private prison complex, immigration reform and improving education. instead its devolved to become nothing but pride propaganda being shoved in our faces 24/7. I'm not even sure its the trans community behind this or some other entity propping up a small minority into goading us into division with astroturfed antagonism.
