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! Posted by Foxy, Thursday, 2 February 2023 12:30:44 PM

"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". Posted by Josephus, Thursday, 2 February 2023 7:07:56 PM

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!" Posted by Foxy, Saturday, 4 February 2023 10:19:09 AM
