And of course all the 'enlightened centrists' on Twitter are posting shit like:

So the state is now a parent, California?

Over this legislation. So they're either cynically misrepresenting what the law actually is supposed to do, or their reading comprehension isn't sufficiently developed enough for them to be voicing their idiotic takes in public.

Why is this such a big deal to him? This is totally normal here in BC and still no one is forced to be gay or trans. People make best effort to comply with other peoples wishes wrt names/pronouns and go on with their own lives.

Yes, it's better to see the world in black and white, right and wrong, good and bad. There is no middle ground, ever.

EnLiGhTeNeD cEnTrIsM is not the view that there is no middle ground ever; it's the assertion that there must always be a middle ground.

Or, to paraphrase the late James Baldwin: we can agree to disagree unless your disagreement is rooted in my right to exist.

Also, like… the state already has the power to supersede you as a parent, that’s what losing custody is.
