The Trans Movement Has Gone Too Far, and It’s Starting to Backfire on Them
PJ Media ^ | 05/16/2022 | Matt Margolis

Radical leftist gender theory has spread rapidly like a cancer upon society in recent years. And while many have caved to the woke mob in promoting such absurdities as the notion that men can become women, women can become men, or that there are more than two genders, an increasing number of Americans believe that the country has gone too far with the acceptance of trans identities, according to a poll from NBC News.

“Thirty-three percent of Americans say society has gone too far in accepting transgender identities, while 35% say the country has not gone far enough to end discrimination against transgender people,” reports Fox News. “Another 25% say that the country has reached a reasonable balance in how it deals with transgender people, according to the results of an NBC News poll released Sunday.”

While the poll still shows that a plurality of people think the country hasn’t gone far enough, the two-point difference is within the margin of error and indicates that the number of people who think the acceptance of transgender identities has gone too far has skyrocketed. In its August 2021 survey, only 26% of Americans said the country had gone too far in accepting transgender identities, while 38% said the country hadn’t gone far enough.

This comes on top of another poll indicating that most Americans do not support transgender surgeries or puberty blockers for minors.

According to a poll released last week by the American Principles Project Foundation, 56% of those surveyed said they would support a ban on puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and transition surgeries for minors. In comparison, 34% said they would not. The survey also found that 63% of Americans agreed that children are too young to make decisions about gender identity transition surgery.

It seems that the transgender movement has pushed too hard in its quest to demand acceptance of its nonsensical ideas, and it’s starting to backfire on them. Unlike gay marriage, where opponents were told to simply live and let live, those who adamantly oppose the transgender movement (be it on scientific or religious grounds or whatever) have been pressured to validate transgender delusions by being told to use an individual’s “preferred pronouns” or by recognizing them by their “gender identity.” It’s never been about just letting people do what makes them happy. The goal has always been forced “acceptance.”

The real problem is that all these activists targeting children aren’t serving life sentences. From the bureaucrats in Washington to the local teachers. Lock all perversion promoters away.

They are a very very small, very very loud, minority of not normal people.

Unfortunately, they are getting too much exposure because not everyone else in polite society will tell them , literally, to STFU.

The correct pronoun pair for a trans is “mental problem”.

This does not mean for us to discriminate or treat them unkindly. It does mean that we recognize that they have the same problem as Bert had in “Soap” where he snapped his fingers and thought that he was invisible. At least in that comedy, those around him acknowledge to each other that they are in the presence of a sick puppy. Sorry, but dat’z da way ‘tiz.

It is the Western oligarchs that are pushing this stuff through their media and corporate empires.

I used to have respect for wealthy folks—now I just have fear and loathing.

They made it happen.

So we are to believe 37% are ok with children deciding to have gender mutilation surgery. BS.

It’s the Hegelian Dialect in action. Don’t be fooled. The percentage against the push of perversion is still too low. Nudge nudge nudge and acceptance will grow. It worked for homosexuality and abortion, same concept of indoctrination.

I think its just getting started. Every school will have dozens if not hundreds of “they/them” pronoun zealots... and administrators will bend over backwards making sure they are “protected”... as a way to punish kids who point out that the emperor has boobs or a dick.

They can’t force us normals to CELEBRATE PERVERSITY and to indulge their delusions.

If men can be women, and women can be men.
Why is there a need for Title 9 etc.?

“They can't force us normals to CELEBRATE PERVERSITY and to indulge their delusions.”

You hit the nail with your head: perversity.

We need a backlash against perversion. Otherwise, we're dead as a nation.

Yes, there will be remnants. Persecuted, but victorious, remnants.

Their delusions are dangerous not just domestically but internationally.

They want to fight wars all over the planet to spread their poison.

As long as there is one major power on the planet with “normal” values the freakos are in danger.

The only “trans” identities that are possible are limited to transvestite, or transformation of male to neuter, or female to neuter. The transvestite is to some degree reversible, the conversion to neuter from either gender is mostly not.

Sorry, but the reality of the situation keeps rising up through the mists of fantasy. No matter what Calvin Klein appears to claim, there is no way a human male can grow an embryo in his abdomen, at least, not without a considerable amount of surgical intervention, and the mechanism for supporting the embryo to term does not exist. It would be deadly for the host, and the prognosis for the embryo is very poor.

Insane claims have never stopped or even slowed down the leftist oligarchs.

They demand obedience of the peons—and will cancel them if they do not comply.

True obedience is when you are forced to do and say insane things out of fear.

Note sure this is the "win" that the headline is stating.
