When 'the new' is a load of nonsense based on an identity politics that I reject absolutely as being manufactured out of whole cloth, I think it's fine also to dismiss the language that is used to validate it. Be my conceptual filters as they may, there's nothing wrong with my critical faculties, which means I'm not going to accept language whose sole purpose is to maintain the pretence that the emperor is wearing clothes.
