I am continually perplexed by the Anglophone divergence on transphobia. Why is there so much more TERF representation in the UK elite than in their US and Canadian peers?

There is far more "classical" class/economic based Marxism in the UK and far less "woke"/identity based Marxism.

I don’t buy this at all. North American philosophy departments are dominated by Anglo-American analytic approaches yet don’t produce UK style “gender critical” nonsense at nearly the same level.

"theory" doesn't reside in philosophy departments but in humanities more broadly. It made major inroads in USA in 1970s/1980s which were resisted much more strongly in Oxbridge, leading to an elite culture where people are much less likely to take gender critical ideas seriously

that "theory" is overwhelmingly anti trans though us left/libs just adopt an officially pro trans stance despite also believing in fundamentally anti trans theories of gender
