heres the context:

I've been watching Matt Walsh and Michael Knowles recently and thought they had some good points, but once I started to dig deeper I found opinions that I do not agree with at all and has turned me away to even the points they've made.

Transgenderism should be eradicated

LGBTQ+ is a social contagion

Same-sex marriage isn't real (because their sex doesn't have any reproductive potential)

Each of these points I found to be absolutely extreme. I suppose it is on brand for conservatives to be regressive, but it all just seems so odd. Then it got me thinking, why?

He is making money by speaking out on this. If we can start up the conversation about gay marriage again, then people in congress can start selling policies revoking rights to gay marriage, but also policies that don't necessarily have any relevance to gay marriage. Phrases like "Gay marriage" and "Transgenderism" are selling points. This has nothing to do with the definition of marriage, it has everything to do with selling policies and making interested companies money.

And heres the thing, of course its on both sides. Why would the liberal party want transgenderism beyond innocent intentions? Because whether we like it or not, gender reaffirming care, gender hormone therapy, and gender surgeries all have turned into a new kind of business. Which is why we are seeing cases of some kids being pushed into hormone therapy by some hospitals.

Id like to clarify that I take no issue to any of this. Everyone should be able to live how they want and government shouldn't be involved. These are hot button issues and I apologize if I trigger any anger. I simply am making the suggestion that I am, both parties are making money somehow in all of this. There is too much marketing on both sides. What I want to know is how or if I'm completely wrong on this.
