That is a most excellent collection of links you got there!
1. Murphy speaketh truth that in a matter of years, a small group has seized control of not only our institutions but our minds. I see it everyday following the Tweets of major arts institutions. I know now much better what the Red Scare must have been like, a descent all at once of everyone in the field into a train of thought that seems totally fear based.
2. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS: a hundred examples of the Aggressive Victimhood.I am reminded both of the petulant Trump baby and even more so, repeat discussions on Dagblog over the last several years.where a soldier supposedly fighting for tribe continually attacks bunch of liberals as strawmen.
3. NCD needs to see this! Even though it will make him tear his clothes and gnash his teeth.
4. He pegged it: thought crimes.
All makes the other part of our current world that is merely PoMo alternative facts and realities seem peaceful and tame. Lots of righteous warring going on. The guy who did the blogosphere-era cartoon with the caption that he can't go to bed yet because someone is wrong on the internet had no idea of how bad it could get.

I have to disagree with you and PP. Despite the fact that I would be considered a TERF.I don't know enough about Murphy and Lineham to make an informed judgment but I'm always suspicious of articles by people explaining both sides of the problems they are theoretically having.
But I have real issues with the comedy routine. It's incredibly easy to write a routine in which one side looks extremist and crazy and the other side looks oh so very reasonable. I doubt any real conversation or debate on the issues would appear so one sided or derisive. I'd much prefer to see a real debate with each side presenting their case. None of the articles linked do that so frankly, I discard them all.
The article on the photo focuses almost exclusively on a photo. I really don't care at all what people choose to wear. It's not an issue at all and not a part of the debate for me. I'm sure that pictures of the first women to wear pants got the same kind of scorn.

I actually got involved on Twitter for defending some supposed overstepping trans person vs a "breast feeding" wholesome defender of Rights Kate Scottow, who'd been unfairly attacked plus arrested in front of her kids. Turns out after my "wait and see" Scottow in court turned out to have defied restraint orders and used 2 more anonymous accounts to attack the Trans woman.
But on the flip side and humor aside, from what I've been reading and thinking, I think much of the "anti-Terf" argument falls apart, for the very logic that's made fun of here - not just wearing a dress, but assuming a Max Klinger overrides any female claims or inherent rights because Max says his penis doesn't matter, *she's* a woman and a discriminated-against woman no less, so has *more* rights than these vagina-carrying women.
