This has the potential to be the thing that will finally give the left some semblance of internal coherency, an unifying front to fight for.

It's pretty hard to push for pronoun shit and other first world problems when you have abortion and same-sex marriage (and even the potential overruling of other anti-gay discrimination laws) to worry about.

If TRAs start to push for their "girl dick" and "how about the FtMs that get pregnant" discourse (which they are already doing), there's a real possibility of them alienating a good portion of the people who care about these issues, which will force the liberals to make a decision: continue catering to them at the cost of their wider voter base or throw them under the bus.

That will be interesting to see...

I disagree. The gender radicals will continue on the same path. They are a cult. The part of the American "left" who are against the gender cult and anarchy (the centrists actually) will either have to expel them from their ranks (fat chance) or work with them and suffer the damage of being associated with these lunatics.My money goes on option 2. I mean we sane LGBs tried to drop the TQ from our ranks and were ostracized.

But with Roe now out of the picture the Democrats and other NGOs will redirect their attention to abortion rights, as this specific topic will be way more political valuable (and less divisive) to rally around than pronoun wars and child transing.

If gay marriage gets repealed, then that's another topic that will give the liberals even more political capital and, consequently, votes in the next elections.

But now they will be fighting for all pregnant people's rights! You just can't win man.Not even a heavy defeat at the elections will make them snap out of it. I mean look at UKs Labour party attitude : They have clear indications their devotion to the gender cult at the expense of women's rights to political representation,dignity,fairness and above all safety,cost them politically,but they still won't badge.
