> This is made even more complicated by SJWs who confuse these two unrelated concepts (genus, sex) with their concept of gender.

People described by their opponents as SJWs are more likely than, well, pretty much everyone else on the planet to distinguish biological sex, gender identity, socially ascribed gender, and grammatical gender.

The people who use “SJW” as a dismissive epithet, on the other hand, are most likely to fail to distinguish those things.

And people who see all non-praising use of "SJW" as "a dismissive epithet", on the gripping hand, are 100% likely to miss the odd case where it's just used as a handily descriptive piece of shorthand.

It wasn't handily descriptive. They reversed the positions.

People described by their opponents as SJWs don't describe themselves as SJWs except ironically occasionally. People who want a neutral or positive tone use other terms like social justice advocates.
