It is part of the Marxist agenda warned about in 1942, to destroy social norms and family values.

josephus,

What Marxist agenda?

Are you saying that our governments, and health systems
are Marxist? That caring parents are Marxists? That
transgender people are Marxists?

Are we all Marxists except for you and yours?

That's rather scary.

Perhaps we should all be concerned about you!

"Marx’s use of dialectics is an important methodological contribution to feminism and social research in general, seeming to view gender as subject to change and development, rather than as a static concept".

As Darwin is to evolution so Marx is to gender studies.

Josephus,

I think that if we tried to have a better understanding
of exploitation and oppression in our society that would
be a good thing. Your attempt to pit groups of people
against each other is questionable when in fact that have
much in common.

Access to safe, well-funded health care comes to mind. As
does "Our bodies, Our Lives, Our Right to Decide," can
apply equally to the fight for abortion rights as well as
gender affirmation treatment.

I think that Marx would have fought for abortion rights
and would have seen it as a class struggle and he would have
fought for trans-rights as well.

I think that trans people in general show us all
that you can define what it means to be male or
female on your own terms. Being transgender is
not just a medical transition. It's not a neurosis.
There's a gender in your brain and a gender in
your body. For 99% of people those things are in
alignment.

For transgender people they are mismatched. That's
all it is. It's not complicated. It's a mix up. It's
a birth defect, like a cleft palate.

As someone stated: "Nature made a mistake, which I have
corrected!"
