    the “woke trend” is made up by US right wingers. since >30 years people were trying to be as tolerant as possible, so we can live peaceful and carefree and it worked. but they needed to polarize people, so they framed this a “woke” and agitated their followers against it. the people right wingers call woke never call themselves woke, because they are just tolerant and open-minded and that’s normal since the 90s. when you fight that progress of the last 30 years, you will end up in a boring depressing, disease ridden world again. a world in which people hide STDs, rapists are being excused and people who don’t feel well in their bodies or roles end up locked away in sanatoriums instead of paying taxes and contributing to scociety.

    • I 100% agree.

      I am absolutely liberal. I support all people that transition. It’s good for the economy. Hormonal drugs and surgical interventions are extremely expensive. This incurs a lot of taxes.

      I personally think those peoples decisions are stupid. But I also believe they are entitled to stupid decisions, just as I am.

        I’m in Canada. These operations are mainly covered by the taxpayer and does the opposite in our case. If they weren’t tax payer covered it would be a different story for my opinion in that regard
