Waiting for the "moderate common sense centrists" on this forum to explain to us how this is totally reasonable and any opposition to this is just wokism gone mad.
Ever consider that some of us have limits? You don't have to be a socialist or a liberal to think Populist Conservatives realizing that they can't just kill trans people directly so they need to ban them from receiving medical care is not morally acceptable.
So I, a Canadian citizen, believe that we should just expand health care to cover most people, so poor/middle class transgenders can get this care anyway just like I could if I was trans and went to Canada (well my family would have to re-apply for provincial health cards but you get the point).
Okay? We've also seen people use exactly this style of argumentation to defend the bill (although admittedly fewer than I would have thought - looks like most of the professional trans panickers are keeping quiet to avoid the bad optics) so if you're not one of them, cool, that means you weren't the target of my post.
One of the reasons for my drift leftwards these last few years is that the left was correct when it came to centrists and centrism They were right on what issues were nothing more than Trojan horses, to enable the populist right and they were right on who the grifters were.
So we end up with positions like these, on the back off 'legitimate concerns just asking questions' overlapping with a manufactured moral panic resulting in right wing legislation to try to eradicate transgenders.
Which is, deep down, what many want to do. The latest from TERF Island' and no doubt on Fox News by summer is pushing an invented categorisation of gender dysphoria as 'autogynophelia'; which argues that presenting as trans is a 'sexual assault' on the public. (seriously)
So expect more of this.
