And we see a level of fury here

The tribunal is looking into the issue of the hostile work environment too.

A level of fury. There always is, isn’t there. There’s always a Karen.

And the “belief,” let’s remember, is that a trans woman is not literally a woman. In other words compared with the contrary belief it’s not really a “belief” at all but just the default. It’s the contrary view that’s a belief, but the CGD view is that the default is not worthy of respect while the fanciful contrary view is. Backwards in short.

There’s another argument one could get into here, about whether this kind of humoring is in fact for others’ dignity at all. Does it really enhance the dignity of adults to play let’s pretend with them? Is there any end point? What if adults start saying they identify as snakes, aardvarks, trees, cars, planets? How much pretending must be humored and flattered?

So to sum up:

Boom.
