“ As you can see, Cohn seems to insinuate that he came up with the term “gender critical”,”
From then on the author moves from “seems to insinuate” to asserting Cohn made claims he never made, and attacking him for it. This is called “straw manning”. It doesn’t bring anyone closer to the truth, but it does rouse the troops and increase tribal excitement, which is the illiberal pattern we discussed on Heterodorx.
