Topic	I feel like modern liberalism and the Democratic Party have left me behind
Mead 11/10/17 6:51:25 PM #8:	JOExHIGASHI posted... what specific issues do you disagree with? The culture of identity politics regarding race and gender. I feel that a lot of liberal groups are actually being overtly racist and doing harm to racial equality. I also personally have a lot of unanswered questions regarding trans individuals. I absolutely don't think they should have to deal with bigoted behavior or be discriminated against, but I also think it is important for both our society as a whole along with the scientific and medical community to take the time to really understand the cause and the best answer to individuals that have disorder between their body and their identity in their mind. If reassignment surgery and hormone treatments are the best way to handle it, then I'm all for it. However it seems like even taking the time to ask these questions or express a skeptical view is enough to bring out hateful intolerance of a non aligning viewpoint. It really does seem like the bar is moving further and further. We now how people supporting gender reassignment for prepubescent children, do we really know that is good for a child? I think it is ok to say that we don't know. Then look at the Evergreen College protests that happened earlier this year. An entire school was shut down over racial intolerance for weeks and the media hardly reported on it at all because it showed how illogical and destructive identity politics really are in the real world. --- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mead "I'm Mary Poppins ya'll!" <cite>Mead posted [p:890150892] in I feel lik...
