Why did you invoke gender? The quote is generic enough to my reading it could mean any one of various mathematical minorities.

Do we all join in with Trump flag waving caravans of F150s? They were a whiny minority recently.

Only when you take the quote out of context. For the majority of the article he focuses on gender. And in the very same paragraph as that quote comes from he invokes J.K. Rowling. It is entirely reasonable to assume that transgender people are "the oppressed minority" he's specifically talking about.

It’s reasonable to assume otherwise.

My takeaway is it reads like a scientific publication; here’s authors premise, and author walks through an example of what they mean.

The title and subtitle are generic enough to apply to any of the tribal bubbles bleating online about a sense of persecution; Gurner and the CEO class, right wingers, politicians.

Hallucinations of persecution are not just coming from the trans community. It’s just easier to write a coherent article using one example.

The article is about gender.

No it’s about hypersensitive minority groups and uses one as an example.
