"If you go back upstream to the origin of all this wokeism it comes from the logic of Critical Theory that cultural norms aren’t based on immutable truths"
Absolutely. Not only that, but cultural norms and the categories they're based on are all simply means of exerting "power" and should be torn down at every opportunity.

But is a woman exerting power over me when she asks me to stay out of her changing room or rape crisis centre? I don't think so. And if she is, I accept it gladly.
A characteristic I unfailingly find in people who espouse critical theory style arguments is a blind narcissism that presumes that they should always be able to do whatever they want. Even if it requires other people to change the entire way they see the world.
"Oh, you're uncomfortable with me getting my penis out in front of you and your daughter in a female changing room? Well, you're just a bigot. You need to change the way you think."
I actually saw somebody make the claim that women who don't want males in their spaces because they've been raped should "reframe their trauma" (https://thecritic.co.uk/reframe-your-trauma/). It's narcissism all the way down. And the extremists really don't care how much damage they do as long as they get their way.

Lot of that going around lately.
