I don’t perceive Alicorn as “focusing” on “gender identity”. I perceive Alicorn as getting annoyed when people (out of carelessness) get her gender identity wrong.
Annoyance is one thing, and I have no problem with it; expressing that annoyance in such a way as to fuel a 118 post thread (and growing) on the topic in an otherwise unrelated article is what I disagree with.
Surely if the thread’s grown unwieldy, that’s not simply because Alicorn expressed her annoyance? There’s a whole bunch of other people involved here, whose contribution matters even if it all stems off of one of her comments.
