Because it's socially popular for it to be, so the goalposts will be moved wherever they need to be for it to be true.

This is pretty dismissive and simplistic. You should read my sibling post to yours and give your opinion.

It's entirely possible to be accepting and understanding of individuals, while still disagreeing with the larger social groups and movements they are a part of. In fact, pretty much everyone does that in some way or another every single day.

The thing I take issue with is the knee-jerk reaction of certain people to shut down any conversation that suggests traditional roles and definitions were and still are valid.

Yes it's simplistic. It was a one line statement. Is it dismissive? Maybe. But it also has a grain of truth to it, which is what bothers people.
