I can admit the left has made mistakes. Instead of instantly adopting acceptance toward trans people they should have done more research into the root cause. Some people will have an excess of hormones from the opposite sex, others just want the freedom to dress and behave how they want, not to a gender stereotype. When I was a teen I was gender confused because I didn't fit the female stereotype. I regret that because it's wrong to give men credit for my mind. But when wearing pink frilly dresses means you aren't taken as seriously then there's going to be a problem. When women are treated as second class citizens of course they're going to want to identify as men. This is a by-product of patriarchy. So the trans issue is partly the fault of patriarchy. It's not wrong for the left to have the ideal of acceptance. There's a housing crisis because of immigration but it's not wrong for the left to want everyone to be safe and to include them in a society of tolerance so they become tolerant as well. Then there's feminism, which at its core is about mutual respect and only that, but of course there's going to be misogynists hijacking the movement to undermine its reputation, and misguided people doing things in the name of femism, but that doesn't change the definition or the fact that it is about mutual respect. You need to think more critically. There are no simple solutions, and the ideals of the left aren't wrong. The ideals never change, and individuals don't represent them. There are no easy solutions to world peace, don't be so simplistic.

Why can't you see some cases of transgenderism aren't an invention of the left, but of patriarchy. When you try to enforce gender roles people will want to identify differently, especially if they view the opposite sex as having it easier. This is your fault. Gender should be abolished altogether. People should dress and behave how they want but identity as their sex. I know in my case it was sexism that made me gender confused as a teen. I didn't want to wear women's clothes because they were all skimpy. Why did the shorts have to be shorter? Why did shirts have to be a crop top? Why did it have to be less? Why couldn't I like girly things and be taken seriously? This is the fault of the far-right.

Asides from the excess hormones phenomena, the far-right caused the trans issue. All the left did was accept them, and made the mistake of overlooking the root cause.

When you try to enforce gender roles, and say who certain traits belong to, you're gonna get a lot of trans people, because they'll have those traits you say they shouldn't have, and they'll come to the conclusion they're not in the right body.

It's freaking me out tbh, that if I didn't develop an obsession with Nazi Germany when I was 14 would I still be able to see through this shit now and see where it's going or would I be as gullible as the rest. If I never studied the past, would I be conned now?

I'd like to believe I'm wise. When I was a child I was raised Catholic but I remember thinking "God if you're real then please do this or that" so I've always been agnostic intuitively. But it scares me, that some wisdom may only come from knowledge, not from within. If I never studied history, would I vote for the far-right now? What other wisdom am I lacking from lack of study?

Rn I'm stumbling on the decision if I should try to create a cult of personality around me or hide behind a group. External input is welcome.

No talent should be wasted, and I would prefer to use my talents for creative pursuits, but right now the world needs me to use these specific talents. I don't like it but it's necessary.
