As a scholar I am happy when talking to the public not to use specialist language. I talk about how we learn what people around us expect us to do and internalize it, rather than about how doxa becomes naturalized. I talk about gender being fluid, and biology being complicated. This is parody.

Yes. And within the academy, many of these terms are of course matters of active debate. Which can seem esoteric to outsiders because the debate is not tied to concrete outcomes. But the purpose is production of knowledge, literally "academic", not advocacy for a particular position.
