"The reason we all hear about trans issues every single day, even though gender dysphoria occurs in less than 0.01% of the population--and in any rational world would be of absolutely no interest or impact to most people--is at the core of the current postmodern project.

The reason we all hear about trans issues every single day has nothing to do with "trans rights". There aren't that many trans people out there, and their "rights" aren't being violated in any institutionalized matter.

The reason we all hear about trans issues every single day is because this is postmodernism's big push. If the majority can be forced to say (or at least not publicly contradict) that gender is subjective, fluid, and completely socially constructed with no inherent ties to biology, then postmodernism has won the war.

If men can be women and boys can be girls, then nothing is real, nothing is objective, nothing is "natural". Everything is just a narrative. And if everything is a narrative, then we can simply speak ourselves into utopia.

"Foolish" is the kindest thing that can be said about this worldview.

If nothing is real, then Western society is done with its foolish historical obsession for seeking truth. Any claims to objective truth are tools of oppression. The only question of any importance becomes: who controls the narrative? Those are the battles raging all around us right now.

Which brings us back to words. We have an "armed insurrection" without any participants actually brandishing a weapon. "Mostly peaceful protests" with large-scale arson and assault. "Silence is violence", and "hate speech is violence". But actual physical violence is just "political speech" made in protest of "oppression"--and black people are "oppressed" even with a black POTUS and multiple black Cabinet-level officials. "Black lives matter"...but only when taken by a white person. The 90%+ of black lives taken by black perpetrators are ignored.

But trans rights activism is the central battle. If that's won, then the war is over for the foreseeable future. Appeals to objective truth will no longer have any weight in public speech, and indeed will most likely mark the speaker as phobic hater of some variety.

The irony is that this narrative isn't being spun by the majority. It's being spun by a rather small minority that just happens to control most of our education, media, and cultural institutions.

tl;dr: Words are the primary weapons of this war. How can you fight? As JP has said, be precise in your speech. Words have established meanings. Firstly, make sure you're familiar with them, and that you use them correctly. Next, insist that others use them correctly as well. Do not use the postmodern enemy's definitions. They won't agree--certainly not easily--to use words correctly, but that's OK. Make the discussion about the meanings of words. That's better than using their definitions, in which case you've already lost. If you tacitly allow words like "racism" to be used in the Newspeak variant meaning of "power plus prejudice", then you've lost, because then you can't rebut idiocy like "white people can't be victims of racism".

Likewise, don't try to argue trans issues without hammering down a mutually agreed-upon definition of "gender", "man", and "woman". The battle over trans rights isn't about bathrooms or sports or hormones. The battle is about the definition of those words. Once the words are agreed upon, most of those other issues resolve themselves."
