I am only part way through Paul VanderKlay's video "Wokism is about Transcending the Constraints of the Physical World," in which he critiques in a very friendly and empathetic manner Keith Woods' Wokism and our Transhuman Future; but I recommend it. He deals with the idea that gender/self has no relation to the material world, among other things. (VanderKlay is a Reformed theologian.)
And ta dah! "The evolution of language is deeply part of the evolution of the imaginary in which we inhabit as individuals and that we create amongst each other as a society." Wokism seeks to utterly change that critical metaphysical language denoting the transcendent, to an imaginary construct divorced from material reality, including the reality of the body.

As I pointed out to her, this can be boiled down to Phillip K. Dick "Reality is that thing which, when you stop believing in it, won't go away". Our modern society doesn't believe that anymore, but in the end won't be able to hide from that inconvenient truth.
