The cognitive dissonance here is becoming farcical quickly. Careful, people really don't like it when you point it out!

I was really hoping the grandparent was being tongue-in-cheek but, the lie-to-myself kind of hope.

I've lived in a lot of places with, in many states, in many countries, all with different population densities and economic diversity... and that statement holds true for all of them.

One of these days the sheer weight and remaining shelter of class consciousness will break through the cognitive dissonance. One of these days.

>is trans genderism increasingly effecting human politics & economies? ... yes

While I think it's an interesting question, I am not sure what this means. I can list plenty of other things that are temporally-localized that are more likely to explain an increase in diversity of sexuality and gender in modern societies, but I am more curious how transgender folks are affecting* economies.

>I can’t help but notice how quickly it was use as an excuse for repression.

Let's just ignore the irony of the folks with "don't tread on me stickers" next to their "thin blue line" stickers marching on the capital chanting about and barely failing to kill the Vice President of the United States, or sitting Senators, as we know they were within a hallway of them as they (our elected representatives) were fleeing and huddled for protection. But I guess the core of their protest, over-turning a democratic election, is really admirable.

But charge them? Make them stand trial? How repressive indeed.

edit: "who got caught up", too cute.

sounds about right.
