    Sounds like you’re a conservative with bias against trans people and not a “enlightened centrists”.

      And you got that from me making an observation about how other people feel about T people in society? Cool but inaccurate.

      I guess I could be perceived as centrist because I’m not entirely on board with any of the agendas or ideologies but I’m sure most conservatives would consider me a progressive. Realist progressive feels like the term but I don’t think that means what I think it means.

          I would have to write a book to explain that.

          This is issue is one example. Another is that I think capitalism is not the root of all evil, but rather that it is necessary to create the conditions for socialism. We need to blunt it with regulations and through public funding of essential things like health and education. I reject the communist and anarchistic notion of a stateless society because it’s simply not a possible thing.

          I obviously believe that socialism is a desirable end goal for society so that already puts me at odds with most of the right. I agree that abortion is murder after 8 weeks because it is a human life at that point, but I do not think that life itself is valuable but that rather the quality of life is the most valuable thing, so abortion should be legal because I can’t imagine a worst life than that of a kid who is not loved by their mother. I don’t believe in making any substances illegal, because eliminating the supply when there’s demand only creates issues, so every drug should be legal, manufactured professionally, and taxed to hell to pay for anti drug advertising and rehab programs.

          That’s a quick overview of the big issues we’re im not completely on board with either side. There’s many more but man I’ve written a lot today.
