I think whatâs going on here that these people are trying to find some true binary relating to biological sex. Genital morphology wonât do it. Sex chromosomes donât do it. So theyâve retreated to gamete size. I think the use of large and small cell is also a hedge in this direction, not prudishness.

The real trap here is that the Republicans have made defending civil rights seem like a frivolous thing and a whole lot of liberals are falling in line. Even if it was a culture war, so what? This would be a war worth fighting. What are we even doing here, people? Get it together.

This isn't a culture war. This is the only trans congresswoman, ever being bullied through the press and legislation, and having only 1 of hundreds of colleagues stand up for her. They can do more than 1 thing at a time. Defending her will not take so much effort that they can't do their jobs.
