Nothing caused me greater culture shock when I moved from New York to London than the British media’s hysterical obsession with trans women.
I’d turn on the Today Programme, the BBC’s flagship morning news show, as I made my coffee and hear debates over whether trans women were actually just men who thought they were women.

Then there were the protests: women diving into men’s bathing pools wearing fake beards and “mankinis,” yelling “dykes not dicks” at Pride parades, wielding graphic post-surgery posters at LGBT youth conferences. I was confused to find that the protesters were often middle-aged, middle-class women, some of whom wore mysterious badges proclaiming they had been “Radicalised by Mumsnet.”

Yeah, due to some previous personal difficulties, I was kinda expecting this to be about another kind of extremist. Cause I'm even afraid to say this here, but it is not exactly easy to deal with extremists of any kind, including those on the progressive spectrum.

EDIT: Here's a good article to describe this.
