To be honest with you I think we're already at that stage. Words like 'fascist' or 'racist' or 'transphobe' have just become Woke shorthand for 'I disagree with what you say, and am no longer going to engage'.

When maths is racist and books like White Fragility are used as corporate training manuals the words lose absolutely all currency.

Am I a transphobe for believing in biology? Am I a racist when I claim not to be when someone says I am?

Sure, why not? These words have no power any more.
