This one.
The idea there is some sophisticated science and nuanced understanding behind the critique of JK Rowling's statements about trans people is completely laughable.
It consists of name calling and social signalling, almost exclusively.
> the deconstruction of the gender binary IS the kind of transformative idea that some people in this thread are saying is being stifled
You can't be serious.
There are countless studies showing real differences between men and women in physical and mental traits, and it is incredibly rare for the people deconstructing the gender binary to seriously engage with them. Again, it mostly devolves to name calling and insulting people who mention any evidence that might challenge their pre-established world view.
