Here's an excellent piece by Canadian author Allan Stratton in Quillette on the threat to the LGBT+ movement represented by what the author calls Gender Supremacy (aka Gender Theory): t.ly/TmAC

It's part one of three, some great history on the LGBT movement, and an interesting perspective on the dangers of radical overreach in social movements.

The long and the short of it: radical gender theory foolishly denies everything we've learned about the actual biology behind gendered behavior (as opposed to the magical gender fairy dust nonsense pushed by the gender supremacists), and as the author notes, it gaslights "those who rightly insist on the relevance of sex to their own identity and rights."

Today, Quillette has an editorial, which refers to Stratton, and makes an interesting point about the gender ID politics, at https://quillette.com/2021/06/24/standing-up-to-the-gender-ideologues-a-quillette-editorial/ :

"amid the apparent decay of “gender supremacism” (to borrow a phrase from Quillette contributor Allan Stratton), its mantras remain embedded as holy writ in many professional subcultures—largely because gender activists have successfully entrenched themselves amid the various oversight bodies, trade associations, and unions that serve as gatekeepers in these fields. In many professions, these authorities possess the power to end a person’s career."
