Another good one.

They seem utterly unable to discuss the subject on the merits. Threats, name calling, calling arguments “talking points” without bothering to address them, all fall in the category of changing the subject by going on the offensive. If they can call you names or otherwise attack you, it puts a lot of people back on their heels and in defensive mode, and they start refuting the accusations rather than stick to the issue at hand. We need to brush those non-responses aside and press their makers to actually answer the question. I finally watched Matt Walsh’s What Is A Woman? and he does it masterfully. The Witch Trials of JK Rowling podcast illustrates it well also.

I think people may be getting fed up with the deflection, and are learning to not get pulled off their game by the ad hominems. The tide might be starting to turn.

I just saw an article - didn't read it yet - indicating that more and more gays and lesbians are turning to the Right in their voting. I've shared links about how some are pulling away from the (forced?) association with the trans movement, because the lunatic fringe there has taken control.

I remain concerned that there will be blowback against acceptance because of all this excess. I also remain convinced that many trans persons are not down with the eradication of gender that the fringe is pushing, but that they're scared to say anything.

It will be interesting to see where it goes. I’m gathering people are starting to tire of having the whole Pride thing rammed down their throats. It’s gone way beyond acceptance to obligatory compliance & celebration.

I get why Corporate America is doing the Pride thing. They'd be dinged if they didn't, and it's easily ignorable in most cases. But, "woke" is coercion, so what I wrote about the trans activists applies to gay and lesbian movements as well.

The way I see the ground rules of a free society: I must accept the right of anyone to be “different”, but I am not obligated to like, approve or march in a parade to “celebrate” those differences. I have the right to express my own opinions.

Agreed, you shouldn't have to participate. This is why I call "woke" coercion, and why I carry on so much about it.
