That's not what I said.
People on the left are discussing issues that actually impact their lives (wages, infrastructure, workers rights, healthcare, housing, etc) while people on the right non-stop hyperventilate about issues that don't affect their lives in any way.
People on the left on this site waste most of their lives posting instead of living and so I think it's an absolute joke to pretend that the reason people on the left don't talk about the trans issue is because they're too busy and engaging in important activities.
On this issue the left has been profoundly and amazingly closed-minded and judgmental and ignorant. The reason for this ignorance is mostly tribalism since the right by nature is going to see the problems with transgender issues before people on the left and since some bring it up sometimes in a quite bigoted manner, the left knee-jerk reacts and will not listen and will not do research and will not learn.
The ignorance and closed-mindedness of the left has been staggering in my opinion and also heartbreaking because on any other issue that is not a partisan one that is not poisoned by tribalism I would expect the left to be more educated and more reasonable.
I did a deep dive just about 2 1/2 years ago on this topic because I knew absolutely nothing about any of it. I didn't understand the pronouns. I didn't understand what they even meant. I felt like I just had no education and it only took a short time to find out really what's happening and when I came to sherdog I realized the left had basically no idea and is intentionally uneducated about it due to tribalism.
And I think it's crazy to believe it's not affecting anyone. It's actually a widespread problem. There are real real serious problems with the trans activist community and the way medical professionals have been handling people that are potentially trans or at least claim to think that they're trans.
Basically to find any good discussions on the topic or debates on the topic I had to look to Europe because there seems to be no chance of an honest debate happening in the states due to partisan hackery.
Tavistiock is a great case study for what is going wrong with medical professionals all over the world on this issue. Here is a short list of things to consider.
Ideologues in positions within clinics who promote surgery and or medical treatment to kids who may really not be trans.
A lack of any real time spent investigating comorbidities that often make a kid think they are trans like depression, autism or being molested by their father at home. These are particularly troublesome because it can take a person up to a year to be honest with a therapist about what's happening at home and surgery and or medical treatment is often recommended within a few sessions!!! It's particularly painful to hear someone from the left saying that we should trust medical professionals on this issue and then have that same person on the left in a different thread decry the lack of genuine quality medical care you can get under a for-profit system!!!!
The statistical anomaly that shows that once you put a kid on hormones they're almost 100% likely to go onto surgery but it's because of the hormones not because they really want the surgery!!!
Public shaming by the left and by many groups for any medical professionals or psychological professionals or lay people who question the trans movement, treatment of trans etc and its prevalence.
Influencers on tick tock and social media promising kids that their problems will be solved once they change their gender because it changed their lives so profoundly. This may or may not be just something they say to get hits on tick, tock or YouTube.
Young girls in particular being prone to social contagions and how social contagion spread and how the new transgenderism thing looks very much like a social contagion affecting young girls especially.
What has been known for some time now that most kids outgrow it... most people who think they're trans when they're young end up just being gay and they come to peace with their bodies and still get to have orgasm because they still have their parts.
Some left left wing scholars I have listened to have gone so far as to call what is happening conversion therapy against gay kids.
Trans activist organizations refusing to debate openly. Just simply refusing public debate against scholars who challenge their positions and instead choosing a intentional campaign of slander and lying instead keeping everyone in the dark because their ideas cannot be debated in the light of day.
