Solving for a problem requires honesty. Transgender activism is firmly established on the far left. I've seen posts on the old sub where people were trying to claim it was actually right wing, but the facts don't support that.

So we have a bit of an uncomfortable "intersection" for some people here. It's part of discovering that life is hard. It's okay. You can be for all sorts of left wing concepts whilst at the same time not being for the transgender one.

Transgender activists are a subset of the radical left. You wished for a "broad backlash against radical leftism". This is far too big of a generalization and this the kind of message that make people accept trans activists more, because some think the only alternative is joining the right-wing.

Left vs right wing issues in general are much more important than trans activism, so people will pick the side of trans activists if they believe they have no other choice.

Nah. I don't have to wish for it, I'm simply expecting it. Only the exceptions will think they need to pick one extreme side or the other. I'm expecting a broad backlash against radical leftism to bring the consensus closer to the middle.

The US at least is much farther to the right in terms of socioeconomic policies than other developed countries.
