So what does RK think constitutes a women?

Her Caling me a Man is no less of an insult???

Argggggg why are they allowing g this rot on the radio. Where is the opposite side? CIS they said CIS oh to duck off.

R4 now! The trick cyclist . Called Sharon out as looking like a man . Why is the bbc fouling up my ears with this personage???

apparently trans are everywhere

shes on R4 again now

I suspect from my ‘scientific research’ (I am a ‘Dr’ after all you shitheads) ie reading twitter, that more transvestites seem to declare themselves as ‘woman’ than transsexuals.

Why is this? Not quite convinced enough to take the step to serious body modifications, so shout loudly to divert attention from this fact perhaps?

I think that is my ‘next’ PhD there...

Reasonable Assertions: On Norms of assertions and why you don't need to know what you're talking about

Can anyone here give a summary or précis of this piece of writing?

So how are they anything other than what used to be called a a transvestite?
He isn't.

I read the title and thought I was going to be reading Ronan Keating's views I'll get my coat...

Yes, my Lord! You are correct.

Wasn’t that ‘I’m a doctor (comma) shithead’?

Yes that is exactly how my GP addresses people.

about an institution that would employ such a person to teach.

Inclusivity. If the institution didn't hire McKinnon, the latter would be screeching about discrimination.

There was a recent post in Kiwi Farms that referred to McKinnon having some unspecified difficulties in obtaining tenure.

The College of Charleston has got itself into a bind here, I think. If they grant tenure, McKinnon is going to take this as licence to really go off the deep end (not that they're far from it, now) but if they deny tenure (and keep in mind that tenure is difficult to get; I know people who have been turned down) then they will have a legal battle on their hands.

McKinnon asserted 'I am a Doctor'.

I saw that tweet, too.

Can you imagine an emergency on an airplane?

Announcement: Could any medical personnel please make themselves known to cabin crew?
McKinnon: I'm a doctor!

Well, yesterday I read a piece about 2 men having a baby.

And by 2 men I mean one man and one woman who has her downstairs woman bits but had been taking hormone drugs to change to being male.

They met on Grindr. They fell in love. The pondered whether the one with the uterus and womb could become pregnant. They did. They carried and gave birth to a baby boy.

Without wanting to overthink this - they must have been having, erm, straight sex. So the gay man was....? The f2m was....?

Funnily enough they were referring to the baby as ‘he’ (for he was male). How dare they assign a gender to this child.

What 'constitutes a woman' is being an adult member of the female reproductive sex. Female socialisation plays a part, although without it the person would still be a woman. McKinnon has neither the body nor the socialisation, so has to reduce being a woman to a feeling.

I think McKinnon knows full well what constitutes a woman. But that doesn't suit McKinnon, so instead, what constitutes a woman will be said to be pretty much anything that allows McKinnon to get what McKinnon wants, truth be fucked.
I don't tend to have unconditional faith in the integrity of someone, when the reason they're known at all, is for unashamedly telling the most blatant lie of all.

Saying “I believe I am a woman, therefore I am one,” is in line with toddler thought process. By the time the vast majority of toddlers hit primary school, they’ve realized they aren’t the centre of the universe and that they can’t control the world with their thoughts, wishes, and demands.

I’m very curious about how and why a university would grant a doctorate to someone with the thought process of a two-year old, and I’m even more curious, in these days when it’s so difficult to land a job in the academy, about an institution that would employ such a person to teach.

There is a current general "WTF" reaction by ordinary people about men in women's sport, and it is very, very encouraging.

OccasionalKite, I don’t feel bad. I’ve had my fill since early childhood of narcissistic males (and the odd female) and the destruction they wreak. Let McKinnon crash, they’re a mere coloniser who overplayed their hand massively. They loftily demanded of Martina ‘do you know who I am?’ Well now a lot more people do, and they’re not getting the reaction they wanted. We’re getting wiser to people like them.

On the other hand, I am insanely proud of Martina et al

So is RMK just pushing bullshit for the sake of it, just to see how far it goes? Just for the hell of it?

Because to be honest, I don't think that project got off first base. I hope I shall not be tagged as unkind here, but for me and, well, lots of people - RMK appears to be a man, despite the spiffy haircut'n'colour, and "gender" protestations.

McK is surely of the Bergdoff school of womanliness - woman are a fantasy. Woman is not biology or looks or interests or anything tangible at all.

We are kind of like ring wraiths in frilly knickers, floating between dimensions...

There's another PHD writer out there, watching closely. intending to deliver a very different PHD submission than RMK did (aka RMK's POMO-lying's all good, truth is dead!).

This is all just grist to the mill for that new PHD! Thanks RMK - keep going, keep walking up that hill!

(Checks self - never thought I'd type 'grist to the mill' in my life)

True, noraclavicle:
McKinnon is basically the Nigel Farage of trans politics - given endless oppotunities by the BBC to spout their self-regard and opinions.

But where is Farage these days? Nowhere to be seen.

RmK is now resembles a stupid car crash on a motorway, and I feel that I'm rubber-necking and feel slightly bad about that. I think someone at the BBC may have taken the old adage of "Give them enough rope...". Seems so, anyway. No-one I have talked to in real life takes any of RmK's stuff even vaguely seriously.
