Yes! Can go hand in hand with: "Have an open mind, but not so open that your brain falls out."

Some straight-shooting terms with which to deload the phrase 'trans rights' would be awfully useful at this juncture, too.
I'm comfortable assuming we (Ovaritarians) all understand that the supposedly denied 'rights' of trans persons are... at best frivolities, and at worst bypass routes around various safeguards for Women's and children's, mostly Girls', health and safety.
••BUT••
What of those trans 'rights' that not only aren't rights (in any paradigm ever accepted by a US court), but that in fact call directly for the abridgment or nullification of others' ACTUAL rights?
We need some simple call-out language because, of all the demons harbored in that movement, some of the most sinister are hiding in some pretty banal- or just stupid-looking shit.
Consider their constant bleating about a right not to be 'misgendered'.
Well... first things first: No. NO. That is absolutely not any type of right, civil or otherwise, in the US. We can credibly frame some slurs as fighting words, which will justify, well, fighting—but we still don't have snowflake rights against even vicious slurs (that are actually, y'know, slurs... that are actually vicious).
••BUT•• there is, in fact, one recognized human right at issue there. You might even know it off the top of your head.
What is it?
In the meantime, let's all maybe appreciate the deep, if dismal, poetic truth at work here? 'Trans rights' are a fraud upon public trust, and many or most of them are actually the precise opposite of rights.
In other words: They're yelling about how TRAR! Transrights are rights! But we know they aren't. How apt.
Superb. I shall be using this word from now on.
No, don’t use it. It’s incorrect and there’s no need to drag Penn State (public university) for what was done by UPenn (private Ivy League university). Using this just makes us look like we are stupid and don’t know the very basics of what we are fighting for.
Edit. Use the updated version they promise to post tomorrow.
Excellent. Intrusivity as a response to inclusivity.
I can see it in conversation: “We must be inclusive” “Not at the risk of being intrusive”
