Democrats have a long, proud history of defending indefensible things, sometimes to the point where the logical reasoning for doing so escapes anyone with two brain cells to rub together.
Transgenderism is one of those issues.
My viewpoint about gender dysphoria has always been that if you wanted to indulge in it, then fine, but do it the same way everyone else who has a kink indulges in theirs; don't make it everyone else's business. Everyone has a lifestyle, everyone has their preferences, they sometimes get a little weird, but society doesn't need to be forced into participating in it either through social pressure, corporate normalization, or academic indoctrination.
I don't see "50 Shades" fans forcing everyone at the workplace to take part in a "bondage awareness day." We're aware it exists. We don't need to be reminded every five seconds.
In fact, if it wasn't for the excessive activism, transgenderism would've faded into the shadows of society where it came from long ago. It's been artificially propped up, advertised, and rewarded for years now, and it's pretty clear the resources for its continued time in the spotlight came from government. Ever since Donald Trump was elected, there's been a significant turn away from transgenderism to the point where even corporations have tapped out and refused to participate, including signaling their virtues about it on "Pride Month," which is a month that wouldn't exist if it wasn't for all this forced participation.

Watch this clip of Senator John Kennedy confronting NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya during a Senate Appropriations Subcommittee hearing last Tuesday. As you'll see in the video, Kennedy points out the millions of dollars spent primarily on the "T" of the LGBT community, for various things such as improved access to gender-affirming care, development of 3D avatars to help people with their gender dysphoria, and $2.3 million to Brown University to study how the pandemic affected the LGBT community.
The NIH is spending your tax dollars on lgbtq propaganda. Here’s some of the wasteful spending:

- $142K to study how to use Telehealth to improve access to gender affirming care
- $120K on a grant to “develop 3D avatars that help people work through gender dysphoria.”

I think this perfectly highlights something I've been saying for some time about the transgender community.
The thing is, gender dysphoria is real, but the vast majority of people identifying as anything other than what they are do not have it. It's a trendy mind virus that made you look like you were cool enough to be accepted by the popular parts of society, gave you clout among your peers, and an edge in some professional and academic circles.
Now that the benefits of identifying as "non-binary" or "gender-fluid" or "agender" are drying up, the pull to do so will dissipate. It's already starting to happen with corporations backing away.
If Democrats ever get back into office, and get control of the purse strings, I'm sure we'll see a resurgence, because transgenderism is ultimately a political tool with a lot of benefits.
For one, transgender people are typically hard-leftists and will vote blue no matter who. The LGBT community has always been a reliable source of votes, and though the LGB part has begun to sour on the left, the TQ+ is still a great recruiter of the youth.
Which brings me to the next point. The TQ+ community is wildly good at infiltration and indoctrination of the youth. Still assisted by the legacy media, Hollywood, and influencers, the youth fall into the idea that all the transgender stuff is legitimate, cool, and an indicator that you're different, just like everybody else. The hope is that these gender-fluid youths will bring their gender-fluidity into the voting booth, where they will also become loyal Democrat voters.
And the best part is that you can sell any and all resistance to the movement as hatred and bigotry, painting your political opposites as evil oppressors.
Transgenderism provides so many political benefits, it's completely understandable why a selfish group of people like the Democrat Party would push for it so hard.
But rest assured, the moment transgenderism becomes too unpopular or too expensive to resurrect into the beast it was not long ago, they'll move onto something else. Transgenderism will get dropped like 5th period French, and all that inclusivity and acceptance that the Democrats preached about will be given to some other group more politically useful.
To be honest, I won't hate that day. Transgenderism has been one of the most damaging things to society in some time, and I don't know a lot of people who will miss it.
