Could you elaborate? Why is it any more capitalistic than any other current American ideology, people are profiting off of so-called "woke capitalism" in many other ways as well. Corporations have been using political statements as basically free advertising for a while now, and none of those statements have been right wing. The whole of BLM has been corporation after corporation expressing support. Not one has spoken against it, it would be bad for the brand, as leftists tend to vote with their wallet, a capitalist concept that couldn't be adhered to in an economic system where competition between businesses is nonexistent. In a communist system you take what you're given and the state takes theirs and if you disagree with the political views of the state, well, then you get a free trip to a "reeducation" camp. The concepts of wrongthink and limiting free speech aka "some speech needs to be banned" are left wing ideas. The people who benefit from the trans movement are capitalists, but the rhetoric they use to profit is exclusively left wing.

Think about it: permanent expensive pharmaceutical intervention required for some % of the population.

Not to mention multiple expensive sex change surgeries and feminising plastic surgery.

A new market segment for all the bullshit that is pushed on women (makeup for one).

And gender change as an escape valve for individuals so we don't have to look at power structures and systematic violence and disadvantage.
