So she's being 'cancelled' for referring to 'male genitalia'? There was another response that said 'male and female are biological terms', and I literally can't tell if that was intended as a criticism or not, it's such a clown world. Her assessment of cancel culture is on point, I just feel bad for her that she's drunk the koolaid so hard and believes that she actually did something terrible.

They generally only default to “sex exists, we’re just saying our GENDER is different” when they get called out on poor behavior. Before that they’re all for attacking gay people for not liking the opposite sex, demanding access to women’s healthcare, etc. If this was just about people going “hey, I identify differently than my sex, but I understand the reality that sex matters as well as gender :)” none of this would ever happen.

Typically motte and bailey argumentation technique: https://heterodoxacademy.org/the-motte-and-the-bailey-a-rhetorical-strategy-to-know/

Oh looks like this page on motte and bailey was edited to provide a shitty example of TERFs using motte and bailey but it appears they just don’t understand the argument they’re trying to break down:

Someone should edit it to be about gender/sex and cotton ceiling/no one is saying you can’t have genital preferences.

Male and female are biological terms...
