I'm not sure we should be too relieved by the fact that playing to their abortion rights political base seamlessly supplanted the trans rights mind poison.

There are lots of examples of swapping one narrative for another with virtually no changeover cost, even when the two narratives are logically inconsistent. I think it just demonstrates how removed from reality they have gotten most of the population.

There is a subtlety to the trans rights push. Should trans people have rights? Yes. But there is a difference between having the right to be acknowledged and treated with dignity, and disallowing the formulation of any difference between two very different things at the linguistic level. That I consider to be mind poison, and a powerful way to break people's minds in support of the narratives. Forcing people to mentally accept logical inconsistency and obvious falsehoods is a method of control straight out of Orwell.

I'm not sure why the criticism of Jordan Peterson, he has always seemed pretty reasonable to me. He has his faults but he seems very honest and open and is a good listener. His advice to first make small positive progress in your own life among things you can control, seems quite wise to me. Is he really miserable?
