I don't know but I once went through a "neolibs bad" phase and was genuinely curious about socialism and communism, so I presented this question to leftypol.

I thought I had a moderate view, that we should accept homosexuals and transsexuals but curb excesses that are clearly incorrect and the result of "neolib" plastic surgeons and the like polluting the waters, but they weren't having it. The responses were 100% full support for even the most overtly spurious embarrassing extremes of "trans rights", like teaching anal sex in classrooms, then accusing me of being some reactionary shill and nitpicking and wildly misinterpreting what I was saying. They all seemed extremely offended and convinced I was the most reactionary and ill informed person in the world, yet could not actually explain why, and did not go into much detail about the science and psychology of "gender dysphoria" or anything I was trying to discuss with them.

I was patient and gave them a decent chance over an hour or so, I was waiting for a poster to understand what I was saying or look up the region of the brain INAH-3 or something and realize my points are legit and need to be addressed, but that never happened, then I had shit to do.

I assume that communism and socialism are now just subsets of the leftist political establishment headed by the US, thus they have to give full support to their "allies". They are puppets who are deemed useful because they constantly push for more state control and nonthreatening because, well, let's face it, they are not going to furnish an armed revolution.
