Unfortunately it would be rejected by progressives as it falls short of their goalsThis is probably about all you can do, or they could compete but not allowed to take a valuable winning/runner-up spot.
HypocrisyIt's odd to me that the party that claims to be the "party that believes in science" to justify their position on climate change, is so willing to deny that men and women are fundamentally different when it comes to biology, strength and body composition.

Theodore Dalrymple said:Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.
Not sure why that would come as a surprise, taking is what they do. White privilege strips whites of the work they put in to earn what they have. Biden's plans will further strip people of their money, their firearms, their rights and their happiness. The media strips the truth out of the news, social media strips the voice from those who disagree, over half of the country was stripped of their vote and the nation was stripped of its legitimately elected President. Almost as if there's some sort of theme.Probably not the price women imagined paying to stop vulgar and irritating tweets.
I don't disagree with any of this but I do not consider myself anywhere near the left. The right has been demonized so severely that people actually believe the left has a monopoly on believing theses thing. I believe the left long ago abandoned these beliefs and simply now use them to appear virtuous while attempting to destroy everything that made this country a place people from all over the world want to join.

This is not about Gender Studies, or Wokeness, or Social Justice.It's not about science or principle, it's about obtaining compliance and obedience.
I don't recall the right taking the offensive to squash freedoms in quite some time (Patriot act last to come to mind - did not agree). I remember good old Al & Tipper wasting Congress and the nation's time trying to keep people from using words their delicate ears didn't like in music.Generally speaking, it is the "righteous" right that tends to push for such measures. For all discussions I differentiate between what I call the "religious" right and the "righteous" right. The religious right are people who go to church, try to practice their values, and leave other people alone, as they acknowledge their values are based upon faith. The righteous right on the other hand goes to church, try to practice their values, but go further and attempt through pressure to force others to live by their values. They believe that their faith alone is the only one that matters and they have a moral justification to make others behave as they believe they should.

Plenty on the right have bugs up their ***** about things they shouldn't but they're also up against the ropes being battered and censored by Hollywood, the news media, social media, colleges and democrats.
I don't hate most liberals contrary to what I'm sure I sound like. I hate those leading the liberals. I hate that more people aren't willing to think for themselves and are so easily manipulated. They get so busy competing to be the most woke liberal on earth that the simply accept whatever is told or sold to them.I agree. Perhaps that perception needs to change. Perhaps I am too olde and remember this.
However, you ARE correct that the left is starting to move in a very ugly way toward censorship, doxing, and other uses of bullying and pressure to get their way.
I'll need to think about how far the pendulum has swung the other way.

It is, but it’s not an issue that has a solution that is equitable for everyone. Trans people want to be looked at as “normal”. They don’t want a “special” league to play in. They don’t want to play in the men’s league if they want to identify as women. They want to play in the women’s league. But then it’s not fair to women.I feel like this is less about trans issues and more about how to address trans individuals in sports. Very different things.
