I think at some point we have to stop indulging the fiction that conservatism is a legitimate political tendency and isn't simply a grievance cult for those who value the ability to enact cruelty over their literal basic needs.

yes EXACTLY
i’ve had to clarify this for organizations i’m part of
folks mean well, but the “identify as” wording is so insidiously othering
no cis woman says she “identifies as” as woman
“trans” and “cis” aren’t bad words, we can (and should) just say them! 🩷

It once again comes back to something that has been said time and again by so many trans people. I do not "identify as a woman". I am a woman. That is a code fact of my identity and obfuscating that with caveats is a denial of my self-determination.

Okay. Not-a-lawyer-butt.
This to me is the tell. Women's oppression defined explicitly as a "shared disadvantage" resulting from "shared biology".
These are steps to formalize womanhood as a reproductive role, synonymizing it with certain features of anatomy that are "naturally" disadvantaged.

there used to be a genus of water cooler workplace acquaintance who in small talk could only relate what they were hearing about to some other thing they’d heard about which didn’t actually pertain. a dire and daily situation much to be rued. that person grew up to become social media at large
