Ask people what progressives stand for lately and they will say trans rights and wokeness.

I do wonder if everything on the far left seeming to be about “trans” this and that is an attack by centrists and fascists to portray all of the progressive left’s agenda as being about issues that are critical to only 1% of the population.

Are trans issues Important? Yes. But are trans rights issues the most critical issues of our time?
No. Not even close. Trans rights doesnt rise to importance over class struggles affecting all of us or state sanctioned mass murder in Gaza.

Are they more important than … school vouchers, school lunches, and oil drilling issues? yes.

Are they more important than gun violence in schools?
I’d argue no.

Womens reproductive care rights?
Fuck No.

I think the progessives have been trapped by cleverly malign marketing tricks, many of which are from our own dem coalition partners. Centrist bad actions within the DNC to limit progressive influence needs to be reckoned with.
