Sorry for the mini-hijack but I don't think you can talk about "trans" (why the foreshortening?) without "nonbinary" anymore.

I think they're corrosive and destructive; they adulterate the real issues around authentically transgendered people with their attention needs and if the Democrats run on bathrooms they're going to lose big.

We are living through an epistemological crisis on many fronts. Postmodernism left good people inhibited from even the most uncontroversial value judgments, the best lack all conviction; opinion and fact have merged. The deprecation of expertise, the uncritical acceptance of preposterous absurdities, a cowed press. We're in a lot of trouble.

And nothing signifies that trouble more than the claim that gender is just "society's little boxes." Even flowers have genders.
