Welcome. I’m new, too.

I consider myself liberal, and find it hard to understand how Transgender Ideology is accepted as a liberal idea, similar to accepting gay rights, when it’s so obviously regressive. It entrenches the idea of “natural genders,” instead of promoting the idea that men and women have a range of personalities. It creates a situation where those with privilege can identify into oppressed political classes, and seems to thereby blame the oppressed for not simply identifying out of them. It denies basic biology in favor of individualized, internal, subjective rights of self-identification.

And, of course, there’s all that nonsense about substituting gender-based-attraction for sex- based-attraction.
