Absolutely.
Look, everyone has a world-view. And within a broad range your metaphysics don't have to be my metaphysics provided we agree on a common set of standards when interacting.
The problems occur when one particular metaphysical position is upheld to be the One True one. And therefore introduces a moral hierarchy with those that believe it morally wise and just and those that don't as 'deplorables' or 'infidels' or 'untermenschen'
Within this context we can see that this 'single truth and all others bound for hell' type worldview is common to:
Extreme religious sects, including Christian and Islamic ones, Islamic particularly.
Marxism
Nazism
Western progressive 'liberal' socialism - arguably derived from Marxism.
All radical activism - again essentially Marxist derived in terms of methodology, if not ideology.
The Marxist mind fuck consists in getting you to not believe in one side or another of the argument, but in getting you to believe that the argument has any validity *in the first place*.
It doesn't actually want to win the argument, its real purpose is to *change the agenda*. To get people to think about issues that they wouldn't otherwise give a moments thought to.
I've met plenty of drag queens, etc etc in my time around the fringes of the entertainment industry. Mostly they wanted to disturb and shock people and get them to think about what sexuality meant. Well I did. Took me all of 30 seconds., just like Ray Davis :-)
Then I simply moved on. Boring.
The trans movement isn't about 'gaining acceptance for trans' Its about 'making this issue important and challenging orthodoxies that have worked pretty well for centuries, in order to disrupt and destroy societal norms and break society down into those who believe in it and those that don't, and set them at each others throats.
And to lead people towards the simple solution of a dictatorship that simply lays down the law, tells people what they are going to believe, or else.
Until people understand that their worldviews are not reality, merely the particular set of glasses they put on to bring (certain aspects of) the world into focus, and that None are the One True View, and that belongs to *religion*, they will remains susceptible to the Marxist Mindfuck.
And unfortunately the more educated they are, by and large the more susceptible they are.
We used to have a saying on the factory floor "Bullshit Baffles Brains".
That is, the smarter a person thought they were, the easier it was to get them to take arrant nonsense seriously.
