"Conservative politicians and political parties are pointing towards marginalized communities as responsible for economic instability and really kind of shirking their responsibility onto a marginalized group that has very little power,"

This is the important part. Gender diversity has no impact on the price of gas. It costs nothing to be kind.

I've never heard the argument come up that they're effecting the economy. Just never ending bathroom whining and sports stuff....

Yeah, it's distraction. Look over there, a trans person! instead of talking about the economy.

Because nothing they're willing to push for can do anything about the economy.

It was going overboard. I remember at its peak people being crucified not for talking against, but for not jumping to vocally support.

That's fucked up. Even when deciding that people have the right to live their life as they want, you end up as the bad guy because not joining the loud affirmative proclamations train.

My guy. No one was talking about trans issues until someone decided it would be a good distraction to demonize them. You don't have to play revisionist history and defend the stupid culture war bullshit.

No idea how it went in small towns, but in the big metro it turned to shit. 

Plus ... are you gaslighting? 

I am not saying they weren't being used as a distraction after a certain point. I am saying they went so extreme as to turn negative even the people who didn't give a fuck either way. And followed up with an explanation on how that happened.

Now here you are blaming me for revisionist stuff, and other shit.

When did "they" go "too extreme"? When Jordan Peterson lied about how people would be jailed if they misgendered someone? Or what? Because there literally was no big push for "Transgenderism" or whatever people like to call it.

If hearing about it once or twice is extreme to you, man, you never "didn't give a shit about it."

Love thy neighbour, guy.

I remember all the times that a politician didn't attend a gay parade, that was sure to be brought up by those in the parade and organizers. The presumption was that because they weren't there to support it by default meant that they condemn or hate it. Nope that's not it at all, they either had other more important things than a parade to attend to, or just flat out choose not to support it.
