I'm seeing a lot of my centrist and lib friends "care about kids" nowadays and it's fucking depressing.
I always turn that around and say "and the kids who are trans? what about them? What specific actions are you proposing to ensure they get what they need as quickly as possible?"
It shuts them up pretty fast when they realise their answer is "Suffer because I really hope my kid isn't trans and the problem will go away on its own and I am actually exactly like the boomers in 1995 who are afraid their child is gay that I mock over my Pinot Noir."
Hossenfelder has always been cringey. University academics have a long history of thinking that because they have a PhD in a specific subject, their opinions on anything and everything unrelated to that subject must also be right.
Yeah, which is why Marxists, who have to know the sum total of all of human knowledge because every single shitlib on earth has a domain specific objection, have to write 500 page memes and sound like they're Derrida on magic mushrooms to get their ideas across with precision.
Yikes.
And then there are normal people like you and I who think both sides are crazy
Wow. Wow wowowowow
Side A: I want to be able to live my life as myself.
Side B: I want to murder you and anyone like you.
:very-intelligent: These sides are equally deranged!
