There seems to be something attractive about believing such an absurdity, doesn’t there?

Because it’s so counter-intuitive (most things that are wrong are — thankfully), it seems ‘deep’, ‘philosophical’ and clever. The belief protects itself, because anyone that disagrees doesn’t ‘get it’.

But it’s just boringly, blandly wrong. I know that because of the logical inconsistencies. If a trans-woman is a woman, what’s the definition of ‘woman’? How can you compare your own entirely subjective ‘gender identity’ to anyone else’s to make sure there’s an objective commonality between them?

It’s maddeningly mad, the whole thing. But the virus has infected so many. They let it in because it seemed vaguely kind, and there’s no way back for them unless they swallow an awful lot of pride.

I think we may be stuck with this.
