    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.

            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.

            Can’t find the source. Just some feminists asking for all men to die.

            But there was some video of some parade where a choir started to shout something along “death to all men”.

            Now just think about how this radicalises the people that hear that. Then they radicalise themselves and become the reason for counterradicalisation.

            And so Society swings itself to new heights of confrontation

                Well. Kill all men is still a rather popular hashtag on Twitter. Also found this article about something similar. (Why it’s not ok to say “kill all men”) But unfortunately I cannot find the video that I was referring to.

          It’s not really hard to understand. Gender and sex are different things. Trans rights debates aren’t ignoring biology, because gender has nothing to do with biology (that would be sex).

          In simpler terms, sex is determined by biology - genetics, genitals you were born with, etc., and gender is determined by what an individual perceives themselves to be.

            It’s not really hard to understand. Gender and sex are different things.

            And still people claim that there is the male gender and the female gender. So there clearly is a connection, is there not?

            Trans rights debates aren’t ignoring biology, because gender has nothing to do with biology (that would be sex).

            I had many interesting discussions about gender. And I really was open to all kinds of opinions. And I believe that I still am. But so far no one could clearly tell me what gender is. Is it a social construct? Is it connected to sex? If not, why are there two genders called male and female? Wait there are more than 2 genders? How many are there? 50, 60? Oh no, gender is a spectrum. A spectrum of what? Of what people feel like? Feel like happy, sad? NOPE, It’s sexual - but in a thought concept only! What use does that have? If it’s a spectrum, then I cannot grasp it, it’s vague and it cannot be communicated. Everything so far speaks against the existence of gender. Because even the origin of gender studies are about the social dynamics between the male sex and female sex.

            In simpler terms, sex is determined by biology - genetics, genitals you were born with, etc., and gender is determined by what an individual perceives themselves to be.

            “determined by what an individual perceives themselves to be.” And here we get into the absolutely ridiculous part of the gender idea. Some delusional people believe themselves to be medical experts. Does that make them a doctor? Or does their gender become “doctor”?

            Gender ideology is a piece of clay that dried out while it was still formed.

              Ok buddy. You’re thinking way too hard about it. There isn’t an easier way for me to explain it than I have already, so I guess just accept the fact that you’re lost.

                I am from Germany. Everything of substance must (and can) be defined and described clearly. I am thinking hard about it, because it needs to make sense to have an actual value to me. And I have been trying. But I fail and have yet to see someone succeed.

                If a replicable description/definition of an idea or concept does not exist, then this concept or this idea is flawed and needs correction/rethinking. Or, if with substantial efforts, no clear definition can be made out, then the concept/the idea needs to be discarded and we move along to the next idea/concept we might see take shape.

                  It does make sense, you’re just not grasping it. Think of it more as: gender is mental, sex is physical. It’s really not complicated.
