The "trans-women are women" mantra isn't the mainstream any more. Anyone who is flying that flag is already in a small minority. That's only believed by the vocal left. HRC doesn't even take that position.

Their position that "trans-woman includes the term woman" instead of "trans-woman are woman" is a great first step on facilitating discussion versus fanning the fire. That is a better response to people who insist on saying "trans-woman are woman" including pointing them to the HRC website.

I have been sending HRC responses when they send me email with their positions and asking for funds. If they have a ridiculous position, I respond saying they need to focus on facilitating discussion not inflaming.

I get tons of political spam. I got a few purportedly from Nancy Pelosi titled "I have an ask."

I wrote back that if they couldn't tell the difference between a noun and a verb, they were getting nothing from me. Now I almost never see "invitation" anymore.

And you can always count on some perky Smile Smarty to pop up with "language evolves!"

Balls. Wrong is wrong.
