I've seen the 'victim' narrative played an awful lot over the last few years, and sadly, quite successfully. This idea that because a person can construct some wording or situation in which they might be seen as an 'oppressed minority' - oppressed by the scourges of, (take your pick: the police, white people, the gender critical, scientists, teachers, people with opposing political views, etc) that they warrant some special treatment. I'm not a fan of this tactic myself, but it's obviously pretty popular. Good ol' Post Modernism! Coincidentally, I see Foucault is lurking about again, posthumously. This seems to have come hand in hand with an attempt to change language, education, long fought-for rights, societies, and I find it a little troubling. It's not simply the schoolyard bullying of 'You disagree with my claim, therefore you must be hate-filled, evil and stopped/cancelled'. That is clearly pathetic and juvenile, but if it didn't work, people would cease using it. They have not; we see that even here. It's also the attempt to paint biological facts as 'phobic', truth as lies and questions as attacks. I keep hearing that this is a phase and will pass soon, but some significant damage has been done, surely. Nuance has been lost. My hope is that it can find its way back to us soon, so that it becomes clear that we, as a society, can be mindful and supportive of those suffering from dysphoria, of any flavour, whilst also seeking new or tested ways to manage harm, as we do with any other difficulty, that it is possible to support the rights of women and girls whilst also encouraging diversity and humanity, and that discourse is hugely important when seeking resolutions to challenges, so that the lobby groups screaming that, 'There is no debate!' can slip into an ugly past, where they belong.
