The point isn’t inclusion, it’s thought control and confusion, and dumbing down the populace. If you’re taking the extra seconds to say, as one of my professors does, “people who are women or are assigned female at birth” instead of just “women” to a room of 50 non-trans people and zero trans people, that’s a little less time for instruction and education. She’s in line with the leftist orthodoxy now, but in a year she’ll say that and be canceled because that cumbersome phrase leaves out some new nuance that wokesters will be demanding by then. A lot of it is just seeing how far they can push good little wokesters: someone somewhere is probably laughing at how my professor visibly and audibly chokes when she catches herself about to say “woman.”

Edit: but if they want to play these games, I’ll accept “penetrator” and “penetratee.” Call it a compromise!
