The sort of person espousing and embracing on this crap tends to be alienated from the realities of life and instead of using energy on immediate, real world things becomes more and more disconnected. Instead of actually concentrating on the important tasks in hand (as a midwife - woman centered care, training, safety, research that benefits mothers, newborns and families) they focus on remote epistemological minutiae that they approach from a position of activism, and evangelise their world view unchecked.
Its the same problem here (midwifery school, lecture position, academia) as you see in political parties, unions and professional associations, businesses, staff networks ,schools and clubs everywhere at the moment - a few motivated activists can derail or take over, and suddenly there is major mission creep with money and time that could have been spent on research with clear benefit to improve services, midwifery teaching and care for pregnant and birthing women is being spent on some daft hobbyhorse like this, that serves only to promote an ambitious individual with their own agenda.
The trouble is that the self promoters navel gazing/angels dancing on the head of a pin types tend not to be filling their time with anything else useful and so have the time and energy to go to meetings, committees, self promote, take on volunteer positions or extra roles that many people might not have the time and ability to, due to their focus on real life activities like coalface work, caring, social and family. So the queer cuckoos embed themselves into whatever little nest of power they can find and then start changing the focus to their own personal agenda. Witness all the odd, socially alienated queer trans SJW activist types that have colonized political parties just like Militant did with Labour in the 80s.
Ive come to the view trans ideology/queer theory colonizes, corrupts and distorts everything it comes in touch with, and needs counteracted by people becoming more politically involved, step into roles that prevent there being a vacuum where queer theorists can establish themselves and willing to challenge the people espousing the doctrine.
