This is an absolutely brilliant piece. You unpack and demolish every major trick and linguistic sleight of hand in the trans activist playbook, and with such clarity and logic! You rightly point out that the seemingly innocuous practice of calling “she/her” “feminine” rather than “female” pronouns is highly regressive. Your argument that historical revisionism is happening because the concept of transgenderism itself is historically and geographically bounded rings true. Closest to my heart is your full-throated rejection of what I believe to be the central idea upon which gender ideology rests: that femaleness itself is maliciously exclusionary because it doesn’t include males. That idea is the essence of female erasure. Trans activism has completely mangled the righteous notion of inclusion, which implores us to recognize the femaleness of all women, and in particular those who don’t conform to sex stereotypes. I look forward to sharing your wonderful piece. Thank you.
