What do “Long Corona” and the transgender movement have in common? No, this isn't a setup for a punchline. Despite assurances from “neutral” medical institutions, both fall under the umbrella of a broader left-wing agenda, resulting in new investigations into who is actually “suffering” from Long Coronavirus. It is clear from the results.

According to a new study from us facts, transgender people experienced long-term coronavirus at the highest rate. Among transgender people who contracted COVID-19, 46% reported subsequently suffering from a prolonged COVID-19 infection, compared to just 32% of women and 22% of men. The percentage of “other” (whatever non-binary nonsense that means) was 37% for him. Furthermore, among transgender people who claim to have suffered from long coronavirus, 42% report “severe” symptoms, four times more than men (10%) and women (9%). .

Transgender people are, to use the term preferred by experts, “disproportionately affected” by the disease, but it's worth considering why this is so.by Ministry of Health and Human Services, this is due to “low access to health care and stigma around gender and sexuality.” But this is political dogma disguised as scientific analysis. But the real answer is probably political.

Interestingly, the long coronavirus and the current transgender epidemic gripping American children both developed along very similar trajectories. Although both of these are loosely defined by the medical community, they are touted as purely scientific phenomena, that is, objective truths. If you are a man who identifies as a woman, teeth woman. As a result, it becomes impossible for even medical authorities to define what a “woman'' is. Similarly, Center for Disease Control Long-term coronavirus is defined as “signs, symptoms, and symptoms that continue or develop after acute COVID-19 infection,” such as “fatigue,” “difficulty thinking,” and “sleep disorders,” as well as “depression and anxiety.” ” is defined. So Long COVID is pretty much whatever you want it to be. (Related: Prestigious medical journal retracts and republishes widely cited 'long coronavirus' study over 'data errors')

The real trick pulled by the medical and scientific authorities captured here is to launder one individual, definable instance of a phenomenon into a broader ideological movement. Of course, transgender people exist in an objective sense. throughout history, and also in that gender dysphoria is an established clinical disorder. But that alone doesn't explain the sharp rise in the number of teenagers, mostly girls, who identify as transgender over the past few years. It is clear that there are social dimensions at play that the “experts” refuse to acknowledge for ideological reasons. Similarly, “long-term” illnesses clearly exist. Anyone who has ever had a cold or flu can attest to the unpleasant symptoms that can last for weeks or even months, and this certainly applies to the coronavirus. But clinically defining the long coronavirus as some kind of miasmic threat only strengthens the CDC's own authority over the never-ending coronavirus crisis.

After all, both fit into an individual's larger left-wing worldview. feel That is you teeth. objective truth is subordinate your truth. “Experts” use their institutional authority to exploit fundamental cores of truth to justify their preferred subjective redefinition while simultaneously reinforcing their authority as gatekeepers. To do. This is what today's “Expert” class looks like.

Transgender people have a much higher incidence of long-term coronavirus than men and women.

Not only that, but they are four times more likely to develop severe symptoms from Long Coronavirus than men and women infected with Long Coronavirus.

And the proportion of non-binary people is three times higher.

And for many on the left, all issues under this umbrella are inherently related. This is largely the result of political leaders clearly linking a range of issues under the banner of right thinking. If you're transgender and you're questioning leftist orthodoxy elsewhere, then all your progressive credibility falls apart. Look at how the left treats Caitlyn Jenner! If you believe in transgender ideology, you probably believe that the coronavirus is an epochal threat to human life. If you believe these things, you are more likely to trust institutional authorities who reinforce your views, and as a result, you are more likely to develop neuroses that cause them to parrot back. Over time, the problem turns to surrogate intragroup signaling.

But the connection also arises from a more natural sociological element: beliefs about the subjective self. If you are absorbing from a wellspring of subjective truth, as transgender people inherently are, you are more likely to want to stand out in a very individualistic way. You are also likely to see the world through the lens of victim and oppressor, with individualistic expression inherently suppressed by social prejudice. Transgenderism is just one offshoot of this worldview, and “long coronavirus” is a foregone conclusion, and we will forever suffer from a disease propagated by bad people who deny science.

Therefore, there may be some basis for objective validity in the USA Facts findings. With their bodies undergoing unnecessary surgical and chemical trauma, it's no wonder that transgender people have an even harder time fighting everyday illnesses. But the disparity between transgender people and everyone else is too great to ignore obvious sociological explanations. They tend to trust experts who follow his Trust The Science™ or party line that suits their preferences.

And this means that we cannot extend our beliefs in progressive orthodoxy to one issue and not others without risking social sanctions, and so we have a debilitating fear of the coronavirus. It is also likely to increase further. The desire to stand out, to differentiate through performance in the Olympics of Oppression, is making it more possible than ever to accept the long coronavirus physically and mentally.

All sorts of social and political incentives are conducive to the metastasis of prolonged coronavirus hysteria into key segments of American society. For all the left's concern for those at risk, the neurotic people seeking meaning are paying the heaviest price.
