Good suggestion for phrasing it when we do get around to the chat, thanks! I like "coding errors on the way to the same two sexes" line. With this friend, she will hear me and listen carefully. Not a flouncy keffyah-wearer. After writing my initial comment I realized that there is a difference in generations between people over 50 or so and those younger. So being in the older camp, I'm lucky that way perhaps, and it may account for the fact that (some friends) can still love and accept me, even as they think I am terribly wrong on this issue, and vice versa. We older progressives did not come of age in an extreme social justice warrior environment. Many of my friends have accepted the basic tenets of these ideologies--but that all evolved later in their lives so it's not as hard wired in the same way. They are also wiser because some people get wiser with age.
