Also, growing up the rare time I remember hearing about trans or a sex change it was understood that a man who had a sex change was still a man who made himself look more like a woman. This insistence that everyone ignore reality is relatively new
The removal of "Transvestite" from public conversations has really helped accelerate this disaster. A guy who dresses up like a woman is in no way, shape or form a woman. And there was commonly used language to describe that. But now you're a bigot if you don't wax Jonathan "Jessica" Yaniv's balls and have to fight a years-long case in the courts for your trouble. (Tranny went and sued the individual beauticians after the courts tossed the case against the salon as a whole. Shit's insane and comparable to the harassment of the Colorado baker.)
It's the linguistic erasure of a concept by obliterating words for it. It's also why there's no gradient between a self-loathing White person and a White supremacist. All terms in between those two extreme ends of the spectrum have been eradicated from public consciousness because there's no vocabulary with which to describe them. If you aren't a terminal self-hating White who wants to terminate yourself on the altar of social justice then you must be turbo mecha-Hitler come to kill everyone.
Even if we ignore that White supremacists basically don't exist by any reasonable definition -- The fact is that there legitimately are African/Black supremacists, Jewish supremacists, Asian supremacists, Hispanic/Latinwhatever supremacists who are 100% real and yet not at all pariahs in polite society. More often than not, they're treated like heroes.
I'm not sure why I should uniquely hate such "Supremacists" only when it's White people expressing their in-group preference.
