You are boggled because your use of language is so sloppy on this topic that you fail to register the bait and switch. You’ve been caught.

No, I’m not. Nor is anyone else who knows what they are talking about on the topic.
There’s not only no bait and switch… there’s no motivation for a bait and switch. You’re just making ■■■■ up.
Progressives don’t need another progressive cause to get progressives to vote for progressives because progressives were already going to vote for progressives.
And on top of that you’re assuming the political motivation and the political ideology of the people who coined and propagated these terms.
And you’re also assuming that a slight variation in terms would make it or break it in regards to support of transgender issues, which isn’t remotely logical.
Not true. Many progressives are leaving the Democrats because they have become so fluid in their language and categories that they are no longer rooted in reality. Many progressives are losing enthusiasm for supporting the growing insanity.
Hence the need to import and create new state dependent interest groups who it is hoped will vote for Democrat protection.

People are leaving the DNC regardless of the language used to refer to transgender individuals.
You should also keep in mind that the Democrats represent the centrist part of the left. People to the left of the Democrats are still most likely go to vote for pro-LGBT candidates. Probably also a lot of people out there like me who don’t consider themselves Democrats but tend to vote for Democrats because of a lack of viable alternatives.
Exactly, which is why it isn’t science.

You are falling into the composition error.
Psychology is considered a soft science, generally.
Who’s leaving the DNC because psychologists and people who study human sexuality have been referring to gender identity using male and female and not masculine and feminine for the past several decades?
Now you are falling into a causation error.
The obviously insane down-stream consequences of the male woman psychosis early on being furnished with a false rhetorical veneer of legitimacy, via a now long-standing semantic trick (i.e. pretending male, man and masculine are identical terms, and pretending that female, woman and feminine are identical terms) is disenchanting many centrist progressives who are dropping their previous support for the Democrat party.
Their immediate reason for leaving is not the semantic deception per se, but the present social and political consequences of that deception. Nevertheless, the incipient cause has been imo the preceding semantic deception.
Nah, I think thats ■■■■■■■■■
I honestly do not care about a person wanting to live their life in the feminine or masculine if their sex is th opposite. My daughter worked with someone who was transgender and you would have never known they were a biological male in public. She was introduced to me as a she and had a feminine name. I had no problem referring to her as a she. She appeared to be a she.
On the other hand, I also knew a person for many years , we shall call him John and his wife Sheila. One day John came into my place of work with Sheila, but John had his hair down, was wearing makeup and fake nails and a dress and asked me to please call him Candy. John still appeared to be male and despite the dress, hair and make up , no one thought otherwise. I don’t know why it seemed so different between the two, but it did.
I guess my point to all this is that I’d like to understand why what I think about someone’s gender is important? I mean, just because I refer to someone as a he or a she doesn’t really change anything. I personally try to be polite and would never want to be offensive to anyone period. I try to be a good , kind person. So of course I would refer to someone as a she if they asked me to. But if they look like a he, it’s hard. Someone in my family changed their name when they were in their 20’s. The old name passes my lips before I can catch it 80 % of the time. So rather than offend them, I refer to them as honey, sweetie, etc. I love that person and I can’t really trick my mind to do it.
I think we can all agree that gender is a social construct and these so called “trans” are attempting to force acceptance instead of just constructing.
If a male chooses to pretend to be a female and wear dresses, etc like Brandon’s health secretary or whatever it is, that’s fine. Put on your dress.
But you don’t get to impose on anybody else. No, women don’t have to accept you as one of them.
