This has led to the situation where if you refer to “men” everyone knows you mean men, if you refer to “transwomen” then every knows you mean transwomen and if you refer to “women” then thousands of people decide you’re an exclusionary bigot and try to get you sacked.

Excellent analysis. I also particularly liked:

as soon as there’s any sign of agreement between the less angry elements it’s likely to be derided by one of the many ideological extremists, who will rephrase the discussion through the prism of their own imagination and denounce one or both parties. It’s like a Catholic and a Protestant trying to organise their wedding, but they have to agree every detail with Ian Paisley.

That was great and the shark bit made me snort.

[Hermanfromguesswho]

That’s brilliant!

Makes me feel a bit depressed seeing it all laid out there like that. It's amazing really how short it is.

Gender was invented as a term to stop idiots answering “Yes please” to the sex question on forms.

Hahahaa! Excellent.

"This is a like a great white shark swimming up and asking for a bite of your ice-cream, and your concerns that you might lose a chunk of your arm in the process being reframed as you being too selfish to share your ’99."

Love it.

I am so nostalgic for those simpler days.

[testing987654321]

The approved term is “cis woman”, which suffers only slightly from no-one liking it, hardly anybody understanding what it means, and some transwomen adopting it for themselves anyway.

I was quite taken with this bit.

I do think it's hilarious if you have been following what's been happening, but I can imagine someone new to it just going "eh?"

[Al1Langdownthecleghole]

TERF rhymes with ditch. Clever.

[AsTreesWalking]

The whole thing strongly reminded me of the tone of "1066 and all that". A thoroughly good thing.

[TorkTorkBam]

Love that.

Gender roles have changed hugely in the last century, from trivial things, like women being allowed to vote, right through to that time I ironed my own shirt.
