(I'd like to start just by immediately disclosing that I support LGBTQ+ rights and I'm left on the political compass. Also I'm  open to correction/ disagreement. Also I don't actually support Donald trump I'm just looking at these specific legislative movements).   Trump's admin has ordered a piece of legislation that holds that there are only 2 genders, and significantly limited support of sex transition surgical procedures for children... Although the stance that only two genders exist doesn't contradict transgender rights...it just says that you can be one or the others and if you want life changing surgery you need to wait until your above the age of 18. Does anyone have opinions on whether these are reasonable/logical legislative movements?..   Additional edit: Even considering the general extreme lengths progressivism is now going to, to affirm every whim and fleeting random idea young people have about their gender identity with nearly all forms of investigation or thoughtful questioning as hatefulness or some form of opression or attack...   I mean...it kinda feels like society has gone off the deep end with a lot of extreme liberal subjectivism and "whatever you feel like is what is good and holy." I feel that this may also be feeding into the whole new age extreme sensitivity around consent and if you kiss someone at the wrong time or make a habit of complimenting females too much or advance too fast in a sexual encounter you can say goodbye to your life.   Modern progressivism often emphasizes emotional affirmation, especially for youth. While this can be compassionate, it sometimes goes too far — treating subjective feelings as unquestionable truth, particularly around gender identity.   This can lead to: Quick medicalization without deep exploration. Social pressure to adopt non-traditional identities. Suppressed dialogue, where questioning is seen as hateful. An overreliance on emotions, potentially undermining resilience and long-term well-being.   When taken to extremes, it risks doing more harm than good — especially to the very youth it aims to protect. Balance, thoughtful discussion, and careful support are essential. --- I'm also reminded of Leo's videos entitled "Making sense of Jordan Peterson" and "When does the left go too far." Where Leo delivers his conclusions (which I am mostly in agreement with) that certain political figures like Peterson are naturally, energetically put in place to stabilise society and to remind people of the basic logical foundations of their existence. I can't remember what was said in the Peterson episode (and I hope I'm not misquoting) but I think this was the general idea...
