The feminist in me is absolutely fucking infuriated! Seriously? We can't call them WOMEN anymore? Look, if you have the ability to host a fetus and carry it to live birth, YOU'RE A WOMAN! I don't give a fuck what you "identify as". You can identify as a kumquat for all I care, but I'm fucking LIVID at this attempted queering of the fact of WOMANHOOD.
This nonsense is why the left loses elections. It really annoys people. When we fought for marriage equality, we were seeking to join an institution, and enjoy the benefits that everyone else took for granted. We weren't trying to redefine anything. My ability to visit my partner in the hospital and receive tax-free health insurance through his work have absolutely nothing to do with the ability of a straight couple to get married in a church, temple, or synagogue. What these people are doing is trying to undermine the very existence of men and women as identities. In post-modernist thinking, this is a concept called "queering", and it's a fucking disgrace.
Oh, and by the way, most Latinos and Latinas don't accept the label of "Latinx". I think most of them see the proponents of this nonsense as youthful naivety. They don't see what it is: an attempt at queering their identities.
