You said, "Every radical feminist I knew in 2015 got cancelled by the left for thoughtcrimes against transgender ideology and the glorification of ‘sex work’. They did not leave the left; they were purged from its ranks. Many of those women are still fighting the same fights. What has changed now is that Republicans listen to them, while Democrats still denounce them as hateful, genocidal bigots, etcetera."
I missed that era of being denounced, but a few years ago, extending to now, the left cast me out, and the right listened.
Because I also suggested that I was troubled by, "the false belief that they (my daughter and other kids) were somehow the opposite sex, i.e. ‘born in the wrong body’, a patent faith statement", I was deemed a hateful mother. Democratic friends denounced me; Repulican friends listened. Interesting...
I hope that Jamie Q. Roberts book acknowledges the research and courageous investment of Gad Saad who coined the term "woke mind virus". Saad's work came out early, before dissident mostly left leaning intellectuals were referred to as the IDW. It's frustrating that Musk is always given credit for that very apt metaphor.

I hope a less expensive electronic (or Audible) version will someday be available in the U.S.

A point worth stressing is that many fall into this category, not just IDW "almost everyone associated with the IDW started out on the left.“
