The Incredibles had a rather brilliant line from the villian, "If everybody is super, nobody is."
Of course, that echos Ayn Rand in a lot of ways. Basically, if we view something as a collective and define that with abstractions, it really doesn't mean anything.
I don't know how representative Addison Rose Vincent is of the LGBTQ movement; but, this is clearly the kind of person who is really trying to erase women.
He is perfectly willing to say, "Trans women are women." Okay, define what a woman is. He refuses to do so. He says that a woman is anybody who identifies as a woman. Still, he can't define what those people are identifying as.
Reza Aslan pulled this same crap with Islam in claiming that anybody is a Muslim who identifies as a Muslim.
That's just a way to make a word meaningless for a political purpose. This isn't just a slight against biological women; it's a slight against trans women too. If you can't even define what a woman is, it's kinda-sorta impossible to say that you've transitioned to some nebulous thing.
If there's going to be a revival of conservatism, it's gonna come from this. At least conservatives know what words mean on this subject.
Certainly representative of the ultrawoke wing. But I don't approve of this travesty (!!)
