  • I would have to write a book to explain that.

    This is issue is one example. Another is that I think capitalism is not the root of all evil, but rather that it is necessary to create the conditions for socialism. We need to blunt it with regulations and through public funding of essential things like health and education. I reject the communist and anarchistic notion of a stateless society because it’s simply not a possible thing.

    I obviously believe that socialism is a desirable end goal for society so that already puts me at odds with most of the right. I agree that abortion is murder after 8 weeks because it is a human life at that point, but I do not think that life itself is valuable but that rather the quality of life is the most valuable thing, so abortion should be legal because I can’t imagine a worst life than that of a kid who is not loved by their mother. I don’t believe in making any substances illegal, because eliminating the supply when there’s demand only creates issues, so every drug should be legal, manufactured professionally, and taxed to hell to pay for anti drug advertising and rehab programs.

    That’s a quick overview of the big issues we’re im not completely on board with either side. There’s many more but man I’ve written a lot today.

  • And you got that from me making an observation about how other people feel about T people in society? Cool but inaccurate.

    I guess I could be perceived as centrist because I’m not entirely on board with any of the agendas or ideologies but I’m sure most conservatives would consider me a progressive. Realist progressive feels like the term but I don’t think that means what I think it means.

  • Sure, if left handed people committed suicide at a much higher rate than right handed people because their brains cannot cope with living in a left handed body as a right handed brain we should be looking how to treat them,

  • I find it equally strange that you would oppose that the option even be there. Or that the research be made at all. It’s not an either or thing, we can do the research and use the best available methods in the present to help you at the same time. And maybe even put some research into improving plastic surgery, hormonal treatments etc. I think all avenues should be fully explored and invested into. But trans activists seem to believe that there’s only one proper avenue and all others are damned. I reject that notion entirely, because it’s simply not in the spirit of good science.

  • Well for one a lot of people transition but they don’t “pass” and this still causes them significant mental stress. What if they had another option that was just as valid and viable? Isn’t the point solving the mental distress caused by the incongruence?

    More choices are never a bad thing.

  • Well I never said that populism necessarily led to desirable outcomes. I said that progressives keep the pretense of being a popular movement when it really isn’t. It’s a technocratic movement, but admitting that is political suicide so it keeps the veneer of populism. But the working class can see that they are not welcome in the movement because they are “uneducated, bigots, racists etc” as soon as they disagree with a single point in the agenda so who are you really appealing to by saying you are of the people for the people? Probably yourselves because no one else buys it.

  • This is not compromising with conservatives. It’s compromising with popular attitude towards the conversation. This is the problem with progressives right now, you contradict yourselves, arent you supposed to be a movement of the people for the people?

    I know you aren’t but this is what many progressives claim so maybe solve that internal contradiction if you want to appeal to the masses. People may be stupid but they can see the anti populist attitude of the progressives and this is why you don’t have their support.
