The card was deemed offensive for featuring a cartoon of Dr Seuss’s Grinch character alongside the caption: “This Christmas, I’m identifying as a Grinch.”

The phrase “identifying as” in this context has been described by trans campaigners as an anti-trans dog whistle for suggesting that a person can choose their gender to be anything.

Sorry the graphic is a bit huge, but this is how the LGBTQI+ media is reporting the story.

Can I add "do better" to my cancellation wishlist as well. 🙄

I look forward to the day that "identifying as" gets cancelled.

That and "dog whistle".

It's not transphobic to object to nonsensical and abusive manglings of language.
