Sometimes a visual is nice just to help hammer home just how bad things have gotten in parts of the United States. We've got a lot of fighting left to do for trans rights.

Culture wars are a direct result of conservatism, so it makes sense to target the tap root, not the leaves.

Hmm I feel if you replaced conservatism with liberalism you have the same argument but from the right point of view.

Culture war just sounds like the war on drugs or the war on terror to me. Probably be how we waste the next 10 years with nothing to show for it except maybe being closer to extinction.

That may be, but unfortunately things like nuance are never considered when conservative ideology is involved... Unless it affects them personally.

Nuance is very important. When one speaks, sometimes they ignore the nuance of the other side. Therefore, they never get to truly know the other side, and true harmony can never be achieved. Sometimes, those who claim or imply to be nuanced, are the very ones who are the least nuanced. If one side is pushed into a corner, they will fight back, hard.
