It only became obvious to me when I found out about the transgender debate, and that you aren't allowed to discuss reality. Just repeat 'transwomen are women' and anything against that is hate speech. You can't acknowledge they are male. It's insane. So many people are banned from twitter just for saying men can't be women, youtube channels are demontized, and the big Gender Critical sub on reddit was recently banned, for 'hate speech'. Simply because they don't believe transwomen are women.

It's identity politics and this push of feelings and individual's 'truth' over actual reality and data. I've never felt so terrified. You can't talk about reality, about a lot of things. The BLM movement is the same. If the actual facts don't fit the narrative, you can't say them. How can we fix the problems if we can't even acknowledge what is real?
