I've a friend from high school days who regularly complains about perpetually feeling compelled to openly pretend that men and women are "equal" per modern liberal dogma. He basically goes on and on about how much less - in his own experience/reality - women are than men, and yet wants to remain a member of the let's-pretend-things-about-reality-and-then-go-on- to-congratulate-ourselves-to-each-other-for-having- elevated-pretence-to-the-level-of-reality party, I imagine for some kind of personal benefit that exceeds the cognitive dissonance misery he claims to be regularly experiencing.
Unfortunately, he doesn't seem capable of understanding he's railing - not to mention transgressing <gasp!> - against what might be called the first commandment of the modern liberal religion. He embraces an ideology demanding openly displayed acceptance thereof, and then becomes mystified when suffering in that pretence due to the reality itself perpetually lifting its middle finger to that dogma in the course of simply being what truly is.
What's extra sadly funny about that state of affairs is that the gullible morons clinging to such manufactured-reality dogma *themselves* attest to the bullshit of the situation by inventing even *more* genders - whose alleged existence/reality consists utterly of people identifying therewith.
To wit: why do you need to create new language/terms/labels to distinguish between what you claim to believe are EQUALS?
The answer is that they're trying to have it both ways. They want to be seen as "woke" by droning on the equality mantra, but clearly don't believe it, as evidenced in their insistence that "equals" be referred to by difference-rooted gender terminology.
