I live in a major coastal US city and I know sooo many people who literally think this is just "the new gay marriage". These are the same people who pin #BLM to their profile despite having no black friends, they say "BIPOC" even though nearly all the black people I know just want to be called black, they write "Latinx" even though actual Latin Americans don't use that term. Point is they mean well and think they're doing the right thing, but don't actually have much face to face experience with anything outside their bubble. These are the same people who were shocked when Trump won (I admit I was one of them!) because we literally did not know a single Trump voter.

They have NO IDEA all the stuff that is going on with gender ideology. They literally just parrot "trans women are women" because it's slotted into the default List of Progressive Values and nothing in their everyday life is going to directly challenge that.

There's also something to be said for the fact that the public generally has a good image of HSTS transsexuals, which is what everyone thinks of when they hear "trans woman". So they don't see the problem with what appears like basically extremely effeminate gay men being grouped together w/women.
The fact that men with AGP fetishes are capitalizing on this isn't really well understood yet by the public. A lot of people still think all trans women like men even.

Excellent post.

What you describe your liberal friends doing is exactly what my liberal friends do. They 're just too busy to analyze the issues - they can barely keep up with the news - so just sign on to "the default List of Progressive Values." (LOVE THAT TERM!!!) Transgender activists, before almost any of us were aware, have managed to have "transwomen are women" deeply embedded on that list.

The good thing about most of my liberal friends is they get the dangers of gender ideology when I explain it.

Although Democratic politicians staff don't - you can throw facts and figures until you're blue in the face at the offices of Democratic politicians and all you'll get in response are, "Well, that's YOUR opinion. Congressman Bozo's opinion is that transgender rights are human rights and the law should protect them against any kind of discrimination... BLAH BLAH BLAH."

And then I point out AGAIN that transgenders do have bathrooms and locker rooms and athletic competitions available to them, but allowing them to COLONIZE women's actively endangers women and leads to a loss of opportunities for women. But the Democrats are immune to sanity on this issue.

Oddly, with my conservative friends I barely have to explain the gender ideology issue - they don't have to be convinced that letting ANY man into spaces where women are naked or otherwise vulnerable is extremely dangerous to women.

That's why I call it the "Flat-Earthism of the Left" but I will happily change that to the "Flat-Earthism of the Democrats."
