  That seems to be the stance most people take on these kind of things because they are such minefields, but its allowed trolls to basically walk all over society because of our collective fear of offending anyone. See the "lemmywinks" south park episode from 20+ years ago.

    Agreed. The intro to the article claims that few feminists hold positions that there is a difference in the experience of being biologically female vs identifying as female. I would disagree. From what I've observed, many believe there are differences but are tired of being shouted down and "canceled," so they stay quiet. This is especially a problem in women's sports, which has long been a strength for women but is now a hotbed of anger and infighting.

    Yeah, most sensible people don't like to argue with fools for fear of being mistaken for one by sinking down to that level. But the cultural ideology trolls clearly need to be pushed back on and put in place in the larger perspective, where their concerns are overall minor. This is a great illustration of the point I like to use - arms race heats up just as china reveals space nukes america responds with trans admiral https://babylonbee.com/news/arms-race-heats-up-just-as-china-reveals-space-nukes-america-responds-with-trans-admiral/ https://babylonbee.com/news/arms-race-heats-up-just-as-china...
