The vast majority of the people who accept the new gender classifications are far from political extremists.

The people who came up with these new, bizarre ideas are political extremists, though.

It is the job of a propagandist to make you think her ideas are your own. Looks like it worked, sadly.

so what is the motive you suspect?

The one that they trumpet loudly every chance they get? You don't know or you're pretending not to know? Seriously? They teach a deeply illiberal and intolerant moral philosphy which justifies silencing of critics as a moral good. It goes like this:

Before Gobineau and the salons of the enlightenment, we didn't identify people through race, and using race labels, we pooled people into vast masses. And with Gobineau, we Europeans and European descendants like you in the USA employed race in order to dominate other races. Right now white European descendants are forced to deal with the inevitable return tidal wave as labels meant to dominate in turn created identities that desire the same level of psychic domination afforded the instigators.

You clearly don't understand in any way the role domination functioned in early cities through language (the terms ‘barbarians' and ‘tribe' were developed in the first cities to label ANYONE outside its walls). That's beginning 6000 years ago; that functionalism in labels is still with us.

Race was invented to add to that functional domination, invented in salons of European Liberals in an effort to add a scientific function to colonialism. You're not one of the good white people. There are no good white people. There are only anti-racist white people and racist white people. Anti-racism is a lifelong project and the end goal is not for you to be good. It's for society to be good. De-center yourself.

The most powerful sacred value is the protection and elevation of perceived victims groups such as blacks, Muslims, homosexuals, women, and other marginalized minorities or putatively oppressed peoples. This sacred value arises from a noble motive: a desire to promote fairness. For thousands of years, these groups have been oppressed, harassed, maligned, and disrespected in reprehensible ways; and even today, they are subject to overt and subtle forms of discrimination and invidious stereotypes. Therefore, we should work indefatigably to draw attention to injustices, to rectify past wrongs, and to dismantle the machinery of oppression that is built into Western society. This means, in most cases, dismantling Western society itself. It is irredeemably depraved and cannot be repaired.

An author and former executive who used to run several media companies was caught on camera declaring that "straight, white males" should have their voting rights stripped away by the government.

John Wright discusses "the problems that inevitably accompany efforts at elevating heterodox thinking within the academy," including the fact that liberals so greatly outnumber conservatives: "The Left virtually owns the institution and a fair number of professors in the humanities and social sciences view conservatives with open contempt."
