😅 Yep, I know that feeling. I definitely don't consider myself a conservative. Very far from it in fact. Politics has just become so extreme now that anybody who's even vaguely towards the middle is seen as "right-wing" by the fringe Left and a "leftist" by the fringe Right. And more and more people are getting pushed toward the fringes by social media and the 24 hour news cycle.
And yeah, this is the tragedy of discussions about trans people. If we could get rid of the predators and the people (read: men) who want to indulge their AGP at all costs, I think this would be a fairly easy problem to resolve. Indeed, it basically *was* resolved. Trans people have been around for a long time. But it's only in the past 5-10 years or so that there's been this all-out attack on the notion of womanhood.
Ironically, this is another issues where I get criticised by both sides because I'm not absolutist enough.
