Another day, another new acronym to learn: TERF (Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist). Oh boy. I mean, oh…non-binary human?
It’s this kind of thing that’s souring me on the left. I honestly don’t think I’m getting more conservative, it’s the trend of ever-more granularity in identity politics that is moving the goalposts.

Hello from Berlin, which isn’t lost. At all. The clans described in your link exist, and they are a problem. One of the articles linked to in the link says they control portions of the drug and prostitutions markets in Berlin, which may well be true. But they do not control the boroughs mentioned in any meaningful sense of the word. All those Spanish tourists, on the other hand . . .
