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.
