This will backfire and she will understand that compromise does not result in keeping rights
She has made herself a tool for the GOP to use and discard
This kind of magical thinking may make her feel better but it just benefits the GOP

It's really quite staggering to say *any fucking thing* about the "gender language police" when there is an actual administration in the WH right now that is cancelling NIH grants with the word "gender" in the abstract; threatening to sue colleges for "reverse racism," and on and on

I have seen this claim made many times but I have yet to see it demonstrated in a repeatable way. What *are* they useful for? My own experiments have been complete failures, and when I ask people who have been “successful” with them, their success is slippery, hard to quantify.
