Dogmush's point is still valid.
In a free society, we all get to vote and make our own choices about what we do and what we value. Some people value different things than others. And folks with money and/or influence are able project their views more. We may not like it, but where we're at is a consequence of a free society doing free society things.
Ben objects to this viewpoint on the basis that it's fairly inconceivable that a majority actually want gender identity or medical procedures for children policy changes. Can't disagree, but I do think these fringe position are in the same basket of goods that people vote for when they vote for more popular D items.
You don't get à la carte, there are only two entrée's. You eat the sides that come with your order.
I'll ask: If you're not happy with where we are at, and you were in control, what would you have done differently?
