Jen Gerson knows that any positive mention of Debra Soh’s The End of Gender: Debunking Myths About Sex and Identity has a strong resemblance to square-dancing in a minefield. Cancellations may fall like raindrops on the career of anyone so unenlightened as to even acknowledge the existence of such a work:

Women like this can talk about gender, sexual fluidity and the patriarchy all they want.
In the end, they very rarely reproduce, so they are really just screaming into the wind.
Steaming pile of horseshit.
May she enjoy her cats and boxed wine.
Soh makes a lot of sense - and therefore she has to be silenced.
That she left academia is an indictment on higher-ed, not Dr. Soh.
Agreed. I first heard about her on Joe Rogan’s show.
She also brings up how sexist and even homophobic it is to say “if you don’t ape the most extreme gender stereotypes, you’re really the opposite gender.” A fraction of the kids who are flagged as “transgender” actually grow up to be homosexual.
She’s on our side.
I’m personally concerned about the “social contagion” issue, where the sexual activists are targeting autistic girls and telling them “you’re really a boy”.
That doesn’t help the girls, but it inflates the LGBT metrics AND results in more gender “balance” for the transgender issue. Until this targeted effort to recruit autistic girls, 75%+ of transgenders were men in dresses who typically retained their male plumbing. It WAS biological men demanding access to women’s spaces.
I need to take a break, as I’m clearly losing my marbles.
Probably shouldn’t play a shooter and FReep at the same time...
Yer fine bro. Just pointing out the mistake. :)
Just like in 1984, the whole “gender” issue could only be created by changing the meanings of words. Originally the term gender applied to language only, not to people. Most of the romance languages have most nouns “gendered”. For example, in French you say “la plume”, la is a feminine article, but you say “le guerre”, and le is the masculine article. English has some gendered words, like pronouns, his and her. A female dear is a “doe” and a male deer is a “buck”. But most terms for objects are not gendered at all.
So, they took a word, mis-used it and created yet another dimension of cultural havoc. For most of us, dealing with the natural elements, familial, workplace and social relationships have enough chaos to keep us all aware and on our toes. But some people just cannot stand to see others even contented, much less happy. And, that is why we must do all we can to get these unhappy and tormented people out of political office or any position of influence on the rest of us who actually like one another and consider life a blessing.
Guerre is actually feminine (la guerre). Le chien, le loup, le lion are examples of masculine nouns.
