Just to say, I read your substack (and listen to your longform interviews) for the nuance. I really appreciate that you offer me your thought out perspectives. All the short form is noise. Keep up the excellent work. Thank you.

My overwhelming impression that gender ideology is just one battlefield of the current culture war rather than a standalone issue. Another very salient battlefield that has just flared up is anti-zionism where self-described progressives are promoting the side of the conflict with flagrantly worse human rights record because they are the "designated victim". There are plenty of other fronts to the war such as "decolonising" countries like Australia & USA.

If you are familiar with Wesley Yang he has coined the term "successor ideology" as a label for this movement. Whatever the correct label is that is what I have turned up to fight. "Cultural Marxism" is another label - but one that is very loaded (although in my opinion it is in fact a perfectly accurate in pure descriptive terms). Perhaps the baggage that comes with it is why WY adopted new terminology.
