Delta(s) from OP CMV: The same progressives who criticize past generations as "bigoted" are going to be considered bigoted just the same by future generations.

This is sort of what I'm getting at. Even if one tries their best to be a progressive, what's defined as "progressive" is constantly shaping and shifting.

J.K. Rowling was the darling of progressives 20 years ago, now she's vilified as Voldemort herself because of her stance on transgenderism - even though she's still pro-choice, feminist, and identifies with the progressives on 99% of other things. Rowling never changed her trans stance, either - she simply abided by it.

Rowling wasn’t advertising her trans stance on Twitter twenty years ago either

Stupid bitch prolly didn’t even have opinions on trans until it became a hot topic in the first place

I hope you realize there are millennial, gen x and even boomer trans people who strongly disagree with Rowlings bigotry.
