Don't you think it's gone a little too far

when the transgender label - the verbal

Google map pin on a right-winger's target - 

becomes applied to anyone they want to vilify?

Not just poor Imane Khelif, a cisgender boxer

so muscled she's been bullied into giving up,

but now Kyle Rittenhouse, a Republican murderer

and gun-rights activist who criticised Trump

and spent a whole twelve hours being called genetically female

before he deleted posts and apologised.

It's not that he killed Black Americans that was the problem

just that he dared to criticise his party.
