Anytime someone points out on /r/neoliberal that their preferred policies/ideas would be wildly popular if they toned down the extremist trans rhetoric even just a little bit, they get immediately y'alled from the sub.

Shame, because it sadly is the most sane political sub outside that. Used to be an /r/Drama sister sub.

By actively promoting diversity, businesses can tap into a broader range of perspectives, fostering creativity and driving :marseysteer: economic growth. Studies have shown that diverse teams are more innovative and perform better. So, from a neoclassical standpoint, supporting LGBT+ individuals isn't just about social :marseyblm: justice—it's about maximizing utility and achieving the most efficient market :marseystocksupdown: outcomes. In other words, embracing :marseyembrace: positive :marseyfingergoodjob: discrimination is just good economics.

:marseyclapping2: NEOLIBERALISM IS TRANS RIGHTS :marseyclapping2:

How does being transphobic as a centrist help the far right win? Are you suggesting the far right is pro trans rights? :marseyconfused:

Normalizing far right talking points helps the far right in the long term even if it may help taking votes away from them in the short term :marseybigbrain:

If he does this it means they are already normalised

Don't get me wrong, this is bullshit. But with a transphobic voter base this is what you get :marseysmughips:

Very few, in no small part because trains (real trains, with a medical diagnosis and years of psych appointments) have been able to transition for a long time.

I used to defend him, but this is pretty sickening stuff. It almost looks like he wants the far right to win. Whatever 5D chess game he thinks he's playing, using the trans community as a sacrificial cow is "grotesque".

>All I want is dirtbag centrists who will aggressively rhetorically hippie punch and have Sister Souljah moments against the far left... while also supporting normie liberal ideas, including trans rights. But every fricking time they seem to end up spouting anti trans shit. Why the frick is it so hard for anti leftist liberals to acknowledge trans rights? It's not like there's some sort of actual ideological incongruence between liberalism and trans rights

And the "dirtbag" centrists (lovely comradery btw) agreed to give you a small modicum of power. But as the far-right accurately pointed out, the lust for power has gone straight to their heads, and the actual normies have had enough and are pulling out.

I also get the feeling that “dirtbag centrists” are wary of the media in general and tend to see trans stuff as a distraction that doesn't really matter. Basically they are indifferent to trains but are not necessarily supportive of them really.

It's very hard to keep a positive opinion on (or even CARE about) trans-centric news stories being pushed all of the time when crime, inflation, and corruption from our government officials goes unanswered.
