Sadly, pretty much those exact words really are used by the left.
So a sarc tag was unfortunately needed.
Recall the satire articles that later on ended up pretty much being spot on with reality and no longer satire?
I actually got into an online argument on a photography forum about that not too long ago. I got called a bigot and transphobe for claiming that a man who "becomes" a woman can't get pregnant. They cited all the "man makes history by becoming pregnant" articles as their proof.
I was told that it is right-wing religious bigots who are trying to cling to outdated concepts like gender being some sort of immutable attribute that people are somehow born with. Modern science is enlightening people these days and they're rising above all these medieval beliefs some of us seem to be stuck in.
