Politics has become an utter clown show. No matter who is in power, it always ends up to be some weirdo.

Is it rly a surprise that people lean further left and further right, into the extreme political right and the extreme political left?

Where else should people go, when what used to be the compromise of reason has become the embodiment of failure?

All I know is I have been called a "leftist" for not wanting to compromise with people who think trans people shouldn't be allowed to live. At best they want them to live a segregated existence. If that's "extreme" and "polarized" of me then something is really, really broken.

Well. In some twisted way it is polarising and broken.

Trans right activists have pushed far too strong and too far. Probably as well in a reactionary sense to an extremist right position.

Trans right debates have gone so far to ignore biology in a sense. Forcing an idea that there are multiple genders. An idea everyone should be entitled to have, but no one should be forced to believe so.

There are trans people activists calling for the death of all men, again in a reactionary sense against positions of the far right, whom themselves have been polarised further.

It doesn’t matter who started. But the spiral doesn’t seem to end anytime soon.

There is only one gender. I CALL HIM GEN-DORR

“GEN-DORR” somewhat sounds like some perfume brand.
