Great summary ! This is indeed a pernicious & destructive movement

I reject CSJ outright, for all our sakes. I will spread the word to everyone I can.

My Mom was a second wave feminist, who twigged to it around 1970, becoming a psychology professor and, indeed, the first Director of Women's Studies at her university in around 1977. HOWEVER, she never believed in gender identity. She believed in sex and she identified what she called "gender roles," which were stereotypical sets of behavior that society asks us to perform and conform to. Her idea was that our distress lies in the gulf between our true selves (sex) and the gender role we don't conform to. I explained everything that was going on in the TRA movement, how misogynistic it is, DEI, and even Sall Grover's case and despite her dementia my Mom understood everything and was so horrified she asked me to stop talking about it. She said it was too painful for her to hear. Mom died just over a month ago on April 8th at age 94. Otherwise she would be with us.
