I don’t believe a gay marriage is ontologically a marriage nor that a sex change ontologically changes your sex. But I find people who refuse to refer to people by their preferred pronouns/to their spouse as husband/wife to be as aggravating & performatively puritanical as SJWs

While Ms. Rand is having herself a moment, I'm pleased to say that my friend Hollis Robbins very presciently wrote an essay last year which I'll be publishing in an anthology (which I am the editor of) for CUA Press early next year. See her tweet below for a link to her
