The culture war has always been a manufactured distraction creates by conservatives to make people blame the powerless instead of the wealthy for their problems.

As a trans person I am fully aware of the culture war because it effects me directly. I was aware of it long before I considered I might be trans.

But the culture war is still a distraction. They want to blame the economy and stuff on everything but "corporate greed".

But as much if a distraction as it is it sti does harm. It still kills people.
