Okay, let's test this hypothesis.
And yet those wealthy black people are the ones who benefit most from DEI policies. Those policies focus on surface level skin color but they don't address socioeconomic factors in a reasonable way at all.
Do you want a real answer or one that fits your ideological view?
Because there is a significantly higher rate of pre-existing mental health disorders, particularly anxiety and depression, among youth who end up identifying as transgender. There is a fair bit of support for the hypothesis that among many youth, transgender identification is a coping mechanism used to mask childhood trauma rather than a primary cause in and of itself. The suicidality among transgender identified youth is the same as it is among other youth who have the same prevalence of mental health issues and childhood trauma. The suicidality results from those issues, not from being transgender.
Seriously? Because their legs don't work. This one is like asking "Why do you think short people have trouble reaching the top shelves".
If you'd studied critical race theory, you might have some idea how fraught with tautologies it is, as well as being a pile of steaming marxist garbage
Are you at all familiar with the term "malicious compliance"?

Still believe this isn't what's happening?
Something similar when I was in college, in a computer programming course. I had a question about recursion, and asked the professor after class. The professor literally said "Little girls shouldn't be messing with computers" and walked away. I was so floored it didn't even occur to me to complain.
Arth isn't talking about CRT in theory and practice. He's talking about an idealized form that exists alongside the Platonic solids and my girlfriend from Canada.And yet those wealthy black people are the ones who benefit most from DEI policies.

Do you want a real answer or one that fits your ideological view?
The real answer is two-fold. First is a consistent destruction of the black family unit by urban policies that end up providing larger benefits to single mothers than to married couples, and those social support policies are largely driven by and supported by progressives. It might well be unintentional, but the actual outcome has been to incentivize single-parenthood in urban areas. And there are more black people in urban areas than in rural ones. The second is that the cost of living in those urban areas is considerably higher than in rural areas, so an urban family at or near poverty struggles more than one out in the sticks. Combined with that is that in rural areas with high levels of poverty, there's also (usually) a higher degree of communal cohesion and everyone is in poverty together, and to some degree they help each other out in ways that don't happen in urban areas.

Seven years ago, in the US. In an extremely progressive part of the country to boot. I relocated to a very conservative part of the country... and I work for a company with a female CEO, 70% female workforce, extremely diverse staff, and no notable sexism or racism. It's a weird dichotomy, I saw more actual legitimate racism and sexism from progressive people in a progressive location... and far less of it from conservatives in a conservatives location.
Out of curiosity, which of those companies, if any, had a formal DEI program?
The prior one did although the naming varied. The current one only instituted one in the last couple of years... and except for a few glaring idiocies, it's been a bit of a soft-sell. It's been pretty clear that it's there because it's expected, and a company that didn't have one would end up with bad press.
That's exactly what I'm saying you're doing, yes.
So the causal map has three nodes: progressivism, sexism, and DEI. It raises the questions of how those nodes should be connected and in which direction the arrows would run.
Find someone here who objects to those things. Well, other than the family restroom, which I confess I have never even heard of before today.
Gross concept, if literal.
Some people require assistance to use public toilet facilities.

Most employers give you the day off, with pay, for some of the big national holidays. Thanksgiving and Christmas, for example. These don't count against your accrued vacation time.
