So I think I've touched on this a bit, but the attack being made fun of here is actually a bit scary in just how baseless it is.
The degree to which extreme bigots, and I always hate to use this phrase, control the media narrative on trans people is such that not only does their

hatemongering go completely unchecked, their straw men get to speak on behalf of all trans people.
The narrative being pushed here, which based on celebrity reactions is a pretty good recruitment tool, is that trans women are out in force trying to compel everyone to never use

the word "woman" again.
As people keep pointing out, that's completely ridiculous, clearly not happening, not something we'd be in a position to do, something that in fact goes very much against our collective interests, and is of course projection, because this is a hate group

pushing this where members routinely go around looking for trans women to shout crap like "you will never be a woman!" in our faces every day as a moral building exercise.
But a surprising number of people, including people you'd think had functioning critical thinking skills,

dive right in all "how dare they say that, I WON'T BE ERASED!" like total chumps.

Anyway, it's quite frustrating to see tactics like this working, because it really does hammer home the futility in trying to be an absolute model citizen, clearly and patiently articulate all your points, and counter bigoted lies, because turns out nobody is actually listening,
