This question is social/political, and meant to trigger a nice debate on the negatives of imbalanced infinite progressivism we seem to be heading in social and technological spheres, ignoring science, practicality and reason.

Let me put up a disclaimer that I am not trying to poke transgender community here. I am trying to hint towards the “traditional” gender roles that seem to be frowned upon in a cultist manner, even though it is accepted in an unspoken manner that most of us do prefer a lot of “traditional” aspects once we surpass 30s, and life demands responsibility, accountability and maturity.

8values made me think of the fundamental parameters that we gauge ourselves and others on, and this seems like it would have opinions coming from leftists that frown upon traditional values in an almost religious manner, as well as centrists and conservatives that might not have as traditional views as leftists think. Just an open discussion.

We can replace “progressivism” with “liberty” and “nationalism” and create couple more questions, but those are not as debatable I think.

    You’ve been told why elsewhere, but I’ll reiterate.

    It’s happening because you led off with calling transgender persons and their allies irresponsible, immature cultists, with some flimsy attempt to couch your rhetoric.

    In the interest of assuming good faith–and I’m really having to stretch to see good faith here–maybe you’re just completely ignorant of the history involved. “You’ll grow out of it in your 30’s” aka “it’s just a phase” is the exact same rhetoric used against gays and lesbians a generation ago, and against any woman in general that dared step outside of the prescribed “get married and have babies” role before that. It’s not a good look.

      Please go gaslight someone else. I did not call them the bullshit you attached to how I phrased the whole thing.

        Then please, feel free to reframe the statement here. You didn’t even attempt to revise your derogatory language in the other comment chain.
