A worrying trend has emerged recently of non-trans uterus owners demanding the removal of inclusive language when dealing with gender-related issues.

I laughed out loud at this first sentence! Then reading the article, the "me, me, me, I, I, I" got to me (irritated wise). Please tell me Jarvis is being satirical. Shouldn't he be focused more on his reflection, than on other people's words?

Yes, it's satire. Jarvis Dupont is a fictional character made to satirize identity politics.

I think Jarvis shares a flat with Titiana McGrath.

Convincing! :)

Yeah, it's getting harder to distinguish satire from reality when it comes to TRA.

It really is, isn't it. The language the TRAs use is absurd to such a degree that when someone uses it in jest, it is genuinely difficult to spot it as such b/c you are so used to seeing the ridiculous buzzwords all over the place.

And, unfortunatelly, it works the opposite way, too. They are so ridiculous that it's easy to dismiss real TRA rethoric as just jokes or, as they love to say, as lies from bigots.

I swear it looked real

OH THANK GOD. I thought it was real.

...and you know TRAs will think it is real.
