No it isn’t. The vast majority of progressive people don’t buy into any of the gender/trans discussion. It’s definitely not a core tenet of being a progressive, but a very vocal minority is definitely trying to make it so.
I disagree, and I find an even more vocal, even smaller group seems very invested in making sure people know who exactly we need to throw to the fascists to make them finally stop being fascists.
Hard agree with this. I've stopped calling myself progressive because it's so tainted by this bullshit. Now I do my best to draw a line between actual leftist views and this harmful faux-progressive nonsense whenever I talk politics with anyone.
