The point as she expressed it so well is precisely that she is _not_ “becoming a conservative” -- because there are liberal/progressive arguments against gender ideology as well. The current faux left chooses to ignore those and thinks it can cast us out of the tribe by labeling us far-right or bigots.

And also: you can be a conservative and be against gender ideology (and not be a bigot!) and that’s all fine too -- no one should tell you “congratulations you’re becoming a radical feminist.”
A person should be able to remain a liberal/progressive and reject this regressive gender ideology -- a “good” liberal/ progressive by the way; not a “bigot”; not “transphobic”; not ostracized by the unthinking herd who embrace gender ideology without considering the costs to women/girls (not to mention the thousands of people, both kids and adults, who are harmed by non-evidence-based “affirmation”).
For example, I’m in favor of any adult living their best life however they choose as long as they don’t harm others. But I also see, after digging into this topic, that it’s literally medically impossible to be “in the wrong body” and most people who are distressed at their body’s sexed characteristics need mental health services and assistance accepting reality, not “affirmation” and expensive and medically damaging and unnecessary “treatments.”
The fact that _both_ conservatives and liberals/progressives can be against this ideology makes it even more compelling, if you ask me.
