The Degenerate State of the Abortion Debate in the Era of ("Trans")Gender Ideology
A link that almost doesn't matter.
So the problem with ("trans")gender ideology is that it is either incoherent or false. Those of us who have pointed that out since the beginning have been vilified--though, of course, many stopped pointing it out long ago, when they couldn't take the heat.
"That view is incoherent/false" is not a permissible criticism in the age of political correctness.
It carries no weight.
The progressive left cares little about truth--which its intellectual foundation considers suspect at best, relative (or fictional) at worst.
The ACLU was lost years ago; it went over to the Dark Side when it came out against un-PC speech.
The only criticisms--of TGI or any other PC thing--that are permitted are harm-to-the-"vulnerable" arguments. This is because the progressive left sets the terms of debates now, and everyone else with the temerity to debate at all debates tacitly accepts those terms. "Gender critical" feminists are--barely--permitted to object to TGI if they do so in terms like these: Men suck, partially in virtue of being dangerous to women; TGI puts men in women's "spaces," etc. That is, because they are leftists and accept that men are bad and endanger women--and they say so--they can't quite exactly be shut out of the debate by the left. If I simply stand up and say "This view is absurd"...which I do, actually...well, that is impermissible.
I think radical feminism is a crock--except for a few things here and there that I'll admit I've learned from them. So I am hesitant to make common cause with them, even for so important a purpose. Somehow Women are adult, female humans has come to be identified as a "GC" view--though, of course, it's simply the truth recognized by everyone, always...except for the progressive left of the last 7.5 years...
I feel as if I had another point. But I'm tired of typing.
