Any internet debate that is unnecessarily polarized, often along ideological or emotional lines, that winds up with everyone frustrated and nothing productive happening. Such debates commonly happen over the rights and medical treatment of transgender individuals, but it can be over any topic and still have the term apply.
"Did you see the trans debate last night on discord?"
"Yea, that thing lasted for fucking hours before todd just muted everyone involved"
"Cmon guys, I don't want everyone getting into another trans debate over immigration of all things!"

Hym "Honey, on either side of the trans-debate you have the expectation (at some point) that parents are going to have to cede their parental authority to the state. If you conflate NOT giving a child gender-affirming care with ABUSE, you run the risk of conservative parents having their kids (potentially) taken away from them under the auspices of 'protecting kids from abuse.' And if you conflate gender-affirming care with abuse you run the risk of WOKE PARENTS having THEIR kids taken away from them under the auspices of 'protecting kids from abuse!' Nobody has to lose their kids. All we need to do is a little 'compartmentalization.' But the trans-debate isn't JUST about the kids. It also relates to your unwillingness to associate with people who don't affirm your values (and both of you do this) and your expectation for people to adhere to your religious morality (which is paralleled by the lefts expectation for everyone to adhere to their gender theory). As far as the penal system is concerned, you can't say that the Nikita Dragun going to a mens prison for some disorderly conduct and Demi Minor going to a female prison for stabbing someone 27 times isn't a miscarriage of justice. Sports? Probably should have SEX based sports teams rather than GENDER. See that? All you have to do is cede the term 'gender' to the ideologues. It isn't a huge deal. Health risks? Doctors need to be held accountable for failing to adequately inform people of the risks."
