All that activity is caused by confusing words with truth.
Your truth or my truth?
It's fucking incredible how philosophers of such self-purported wit, intelligence and intellect cannot adopt other people's vocabularies at the drop of a hat.
If you equate truth to reality then there is only one reality, with many perspectives of that one reality.
It’s not a matter of blindness to another’s use of vocabulary.
It’s a matter of seeing that another’s use of vocabulary is inappropriate.
For instance, in philosophy and objective, rational discussion, vocabulary to express one's subjective personal opinion is mostly irrelevant ... but as in this instance, tolerated out of an innate sense of courtesy and respect, for the default condition is respect until idiocy beyond the shadow of a doubt demonstrates deserve'ed disrespect.
For instance, calling this bruiser a woman who should athletically compete against women is inappropriate to the purpose of women’s sports, which is for women to physically compete against women to determine a winner of that competition.
Calling that man a woman is also inappropriate for language clarity, for if you call a man a woman, then clarity has been muddied.
