Not really. I'm a current member of the CPC (red tory/blue grit). I think that the LPC goes way overboard on the social justice stuff. I don't agree with MtoF athletes in high level or contact sports.
That being said, the current "transpanic" is being driven by the right, (combinations of far and religious). Just like the satanic panic, war against rock and roll etc.
As someone that wants to see a CPC government, I absolutely hate that this "cause" is hijacking the party.
Sitting in the middle, there's a time for "both sidesing" politics (corruption being chief), but an issue that amounts to
-not being allowed to bully this tiny minority of people and being asked to alter my behavior slightly in the very rare occasion that I knowingly interact with them is a massive affront to my freedom, their existence is a threat to our society, protecting this minority from my bigotry is pushing an agenda and reason for war
vs
-this is a tiny amount of people trying to live their life, stop demonizing them and just go about your business, chances are that doing so will have quite literally zero impact on your daily life
is not.
If there's no politically driven panic/attack, there's nothing to defend against.
There are left-wing equivalents to Quirky for sure. But they're not on this board. If the middle can see fit to ignore both wings and act with both decency and common sense the "issue" stops being an issue.
So nothing wrong with groups trying to transgender children behind their parents back, pushing them into needless and dangerous surgeries then? Or having a parade and waving their junk in kids faces.
There was no problem previous. I have queer and lesbian friends. Their biggest problem and the one that pisses them off the most, is the rest of the alphabet groups. They were happy, living their lives, accepted and acknowledged. Now, they're complaining that all the pride parade clowns, militant trans and the trudeau government have put a spotlight on them again and are resetting them back to stage one. They are no longer being ignored again. Others in their multi faceted society are the ones that are imposing on them and making it the issue.
I don't ignore people because of their sexual tendency. I don't even care about your predilection to sex. Why? Because it has zero to do with my relationship with them. We drink, smoke, joke and play pictionary. I don't hit on friends and they don't hit on me.
I don't even care if you wear chiffon with a five o clock shadow, but quit beating us over the head with it.
I draw the line at pedophiles. I won't go into the special place in hell for them or my preferences in how they get there.
Firstly and lastly, stay away from the children. There is zero need for trans story time. Or teaching sex before puberty. Those two things right there are the biggest wedges in this whole kerfuffle.
"There are left-wing equivalents to Quirky for sure"
How is that label any different than saying someone is queer, using the same tone and inference. All you're doing is changing the noun and negating your narrative.
"What a silly term. Same with virtue signalling. Every single person advocating a stance regarding social issues is one/ doing it."
A silly term? Maybe. However, it's exactly what you are doing here.
