control every aspect of private life

I'm not arguing for a golden middle, no need to strawman me. I'm saying that sweeping generalizations like above are just circlejerks.

They are literally trying to control what clothes you can wear and what words you can use to refer to yourself.

Are they trying to control what breakfast you eat? How you tie your shoes? What music you listen to?

Extrapolating from a few cases to claim there's a broad trend is lazy thinking. In the context of political discourse, it creates echochambers, misunderstanding, and hatred. Like conservatives who say "all liberals want to murder babies"
