To the extent is is autobiographical, your comment about uneducated people who were misled by a party spreading misinformation is indeed objective. Good luck escaping your chosen bubble!

No, it isn't autobiographical. It's pretty widely documented that the vast majority are ignorant about transgender issues and help. The GOP ads focusing on trans issues were objectively misinformation, just like 45s claim about migrants eating cats and dogs.

Out of the two of us, I'm not the one in a bubble.

  • "I'm not in a bubble" is literally what people in a bubble say, FWIW.

    You seem to think it's more likely that 80% of the country has been misled by propaganda related to basic human biology than that the other 20% is wrong. There have been plenty of times when 80% of people were wrong about something, but when the topic is one that all humans have firsthand experience with, it's somewhat less likely that they've been magically misled.

    You're off-base comparing this to migrants eating cats and dogs. That was never an 80/20 issue.

      I assume people genuinely not in a bubble also say it though. Gee whiz, what a conundrum!

      > You seem to think it's more likely that 80% of the country has been misled by propaganda

      I never gave or implied a percentage anywhere close to that.

      > related to basic human biology than that the other 20% is wrong.

      Yes, I trust medical experts and scientific and medical consensus over people that have no clue or expertise but let themselves be riled up.

      > but when the topic is one that all humans have firsthand experience with, it's somewhat less likely that they've been magically misled.

      Same reasoning people like you used to use that homosexuality "isn't natural".

      Nor is trans health issues. If you really believe so, please provide some sources.
