the problem with all of this, whether it be sexuality, gender, race or colour, you either support the "PC Brigade" or you are labelled. You be come a homophobe or a racist or one of the many other tags available, and you are not allowed to have an opinion. That in itself is a similar form of oppression that that the "PC Bridge" are constantly shouting about.
As a straight, white, British, male omnivore who gets pleasure from burning more than my fair share of fossil fuels, I can offend, be hated and criticized by just about everybody for something, yet all I am is me. Leave me alone and cause me no harm and I'll happily enjoy a quiet life. But challenge me, and I will stand my ground.
I still expect to be entitled to my opinion on whatever subject is on the table, and this is where it is all going wrong. I'm not "allowed" to say;
"trans is not a gender"
"London shouldn't have a Muslim Mayor"
"why isn't St Georges day a public holiday"
However changes will happen over time, it is called evolution, society should be allowed to evolve without having it forced upon us, nor our history changed. I will never admonish an 80 year old lady for using the word coloured, and I will always stand between her and the youth calling her a racist. Time will eventually solve the problem, and that will always be on the youths side.

The quickest way to fall out with people is, discuss politics.
