When I got into progressivism in the Gamergate era, I thought I was joining a movement about single-payer healthcare and women’s rights. But over time, it radically shifted. First it became about anti-capitalism. Then it turned into a gender ideology crusade that erased people like me, actual transsexuals who medically transition, in favor of an amorphous “transgender” identity with a political mission to dismantle gender and strip sex from law. That is, by the way, the opposite of women’s rights. Now it has become an anti-Jewish hate movement openly flirting with theocracy. My mistake was thinking this was ever about policy. But it is not. Progressivism is a shapeshifting mind virus. It is not about building anything. It is about tearing down institutions, whatever they are, whatever they stand for. The only consistent belief it holds is that America is the enemy. And I want no part of it anymore.
