Last decade, the Dems decided to accept the leftist drive to make transgenderism the new purity test of identity politics.
It appears to have backfired badly.
The latest numbers from the New York Times Ipsos poll are catastrophically bad for the most controversial agendas of the movement
1. Transgendering kids
2. Men in women’s sports
They’re not just bad among Republicans and Independents, which they have been for a while, they’re bad among Democrats.
67% of Dems now say transgender men should not compete in women’s sports and 54% say that kids should not be getting puberty blockers.
In the overall numbers, only 18% of Americans say transgender men should be allowed to compete in women’s sports and 10% support the idea of puberty blockers for kids under 15 and only 16% support them for kids 15 years or older.
This is a complete collapse of an agenda that people were demonized and canceled over. High school girls faced enormous threats for refusing to compete against transgender boys or shower with them.
What’s going on here?
There was never all that much enthusiasm or support for the transgender agenda, and the test of social liberalism is “whom does it hurt”? When that question can’t be answered quickly and convincingly, opposition collapses. The past decade was spent answering “whom does it hurt” clearly and convincingly. Feminist celebrities like J.K. Rowling and Martina Navratilova risked their careers and reputations to advocate against it.
And, the crushing blow came when Democrat media outlets blamed the transgender issue for Kamala’s defeat.
The fight isn’t over, but a lot of Democrats have decided that this isn’t the hill they want to die on, that they don’t like this hill and they don’t really understand how they got dragged into supporting something so freaky and destructive anyway. The media is giving them permission to come out of the closet.
It’s obvious that men have too much muscular strength to compete in female sports. Men and women have different types of muscles.
“freaky and destructive.” That’s for sure. America is sick and tired of trannies.
The polls are going to surprise Liberals and the NYT’s as well
