My brother is a woke Californian, and his wife both find my views on gender ideology completely abhorrent, in fact my brother said I was "like a racist" for my view that women only spaces should be protected, they both seem to think same-sex is exactly the same as racial segregation.
The gender ideology / woke cult was brought to life in Northern America and Canada, and has since spread to Western Europe far more quickly than any of us expected.
The ideology was embraced by the US partly because of the $$$ gained from medicating a whole generation for life in a privatised Medal health care system, alongside identity politics that had already taken hold in the first place.
Identity politics is capitalism's wet dream, set people against each other in categories, convince them to be dependent on corporations rather than family, convince them they're "individual" etc.
The cult of the individual has been rampant since about the 80's as part of the neoliberal capitalist revolution
The USA, being the centre for consumerist neoliberal ideology promotes transgenderism far more than other countries, so more people in the USA buy into it more than they do here in Europe.
On the other hand, there are a lot of hard right wing conservatives (some of whom are very Christian) in America. What we have ended up with is the whole of Canada, California, other West-Coast, New York and other East-Coast in the USA completely taken in by gender ideology and PC woke stuff, but a huge backlash to the ideology in the middle of Northern America, where it's more conservative, who voted Trump because they're completely pissed off by the whole "PC Woke" thing promoted by the Democrats.
There are numerically speaking more anti-woke voters in America because look at the outcome, but the ideology still has an enormous influence.
