It _could_ be that, too, but as it turns out, in this particular case, it was the scary scary transes (see their response elsewhere in the thread).

With people who go on about 'luxury beliefs', the belief that they're referring to is nearly always 'trans people are people', I assume because it's such a new coinage (it's only a few years old) and that was what the far-right were mostly scared of at the time.

You are the only one who brought up gender minorities, as well as the TERF I disagreed with.

Anyone wingbrained enough can have luxury beliefs, and I’m not immune.

For example, I previously supported a very liberal drug policy, and still do in many respects… though I realize it failed spectacularly in the fentanyl era and have had to live with the consequences of that.

Better than the alternative? Well, we aren’t ruining as many lives over cannabis…
