I think you’re misinterpreting the entire situation. Right-wing reactionaries are not always people with valid points and sometimes do overreact, but in this case, they arose from the left-wing overreach. If you look at what’s popping up in some school districts and the laissez-faire attitude some of these teachers, counselors, administrators, principals, psychologists, and doctors have towards it, and the cavalier attitude they have towards the “casualties”, you’d have some distaste, too, to put it mildly. They attempted to de-person Shrier and she was harshly condemned as a “transphobic bigot” by many just for investigating and reporting on real cases that happened, and are far more widespread than the news is reporting on.

The way the modern Western left works, is that they exaggerate the plight and cult of the victim when it suits them (“there is a disturbing rise in violence against Black transgenders” [there’s like ten Black transgenders killed a year in the US, they’re bullshitting with statistics to push their agenda more], “transgenders go through terrible mental health issues and have a very high suicide rate, but transitioning makes it better” [maybe they never consider that the condition is itself tied to mental illness?]), and turn a blind eye to the lives ruined by their policies. Oh, the young woman regrets going through the irreversible change done to her brain and body with hormone blockers and sex reassignment surgery? She sees herself as a freak now? She committed suicide?

Now all these far-right hick parents addicted to FaceBook are here protesting us, using foul language and intimidating us at school boards... how dare these peasants think they should have a say in how their children are educated, or think that we should be held accountable for the policies we teach! Good thing Biden’s DoJ is demonizing them as domestic terrorists ... did I ever tell you about this amazing piece I read in the Huffington Post about the disturbing rise of the far-right, conspiracy theories, and alt-right misinformation online, and how the country is closer to authoritarianism than ever before? Yeah, they’re saying more Big Tech censorship is needed to combat it, as well as a stern crackdown on right-wing protesters and using the Patriot Act to target them as potential domestic terror threats...
