If this were a boat, they would use the sails to make pride flags, because we can't depend on the wind to move this boat. The wind isn't real anyways, it's a social construct. We are also in a pirate infested zone and they got rid of the cannons, because we can't live in fear of the bigots.

This has me really thinking.

Are transtrenders actually useless idiots? As in, they aren't useful as a pawn, tool, leverage, or cash cow for anyone? All of their media goes broke, and really fast. They are a social albatross hanging around the neck of an entire political party, which gives the other side ammo, sure, but they prefer eternal wedge issues that don't go anywhere, and they want this gone yesterday they are so horrified by it. It seems even politically everyone was caught off guard by how awful this all is. They're pure poison to us, and are now the most active anti-LGB force in the world, JFC, Muslims are saying leave us alone at this point. Psychology and psychiatry live in actual fear for their profession if they try and tackle this. They're the worst PR that danger strangers have ever had, worse than Chris Hansen times a thousand. They are rapidly destroying themselves and their own cause.

Is anyone, anywhere, benefiting from this? If so, they deserve a medal for most astonishingly clever humans, like literally made fire out of two buckets of water and the vacuum of space.

EDIT : I just realized that we all almost forgot about the rest of the culture war as soon as Pride Summer started. I see a video about "woke" stuff and I'm like "wow, those were the days, huh?"

edit: Also, I'm inclined to agree...

This is possibly tangential to your main points (which I agree with), but just to clarify: are you asking if anyone anywhere is benefitting from the transgender trend? The obvious answer that comes to my mind is pharmaceutical companies. It is lucrative to sell puberty blockers to teens and adults because

  1. in transgender ideology, you're supposed to stay on these drugs indefinitely, so that's essentially a guaranteed customer base for years
  2. transgender ideology suggests that if you are trans and you don't transition, you are at increased risk of suicide (I almost fell for this fearmongering tactic, myself, before I went and read more about transgenderism and stumbled upon r/lgbdropthet), which pressures anyone who falls for the trend to actually start the drugs
  3. puberty blockers and hormones cause multiple harmful effects, which require further ongoing medical treatment, again for years of the patient's life, which again guarantees money going into the medical system

Kinky men who want the world to see their bulge when wearing leggings or tight dresses. And paedophiles, they want a bit of that validation too. Sadly I'm being serious

Yup, totally. There are definitely other groups who benefit from transgender ideology, too.

I just tend to the think of the money-making angle because it strikes me as perhaps the most difficult to root out. As long as there is financial incentive for companies and individuals to support the ideology, at least some will. If there were only pedos/fetishists benefitting from the ideology, I almost doubt whether the ideology would have ever spread so wide and become so popular. Sexist, aggressive autogynephiles are headline-grabbing, and reasonably so, but it's those doctors and therapists pushing puberty blockers and "why don't you just consider it?" on everyday kids and parents that I think may have a far stronger effect of convincing people to buy into transgender ideology. I may be biased, though, because that was how I got introduced to it... and like I said, it almost worked on me.
