I've recently dabbled in this topic and found my way here as there really doesn't seem to be anywhere else I can post something and get an wide response.

I have watched a few of the wesc panels, and I've been kind of flipping from one side to the other, I understand its much different on twitter, however the wesc debates seemed quite dry.

Somebody shared this with me from one of the trans contributors, but I dont fully get it, it seems to be a work of parody, but I'm quite new to this, so most of it has gone over my head.

Can anyone break it down for me?

When I googled i,t said they were well respected at quite an elite institution, I don't want to dismiss it on the basis they are trans, I hoped there was more merit to the article than that.

Actually I'm doing it an injustice - it's less coherent.

The argument seems to be that the cows are organising, & that's a bit mean if the sheep don't feel sufficiently bovine.

There's no suggestion that the cows & ewes might have commonality of purpose - one wonders what that might be - because Big Juniper the lead cow meanly wants no truck with the ewes. She's presumably off having a Big Gin.

Which seems like a sensible response to this load of bobbins.

It's Alex Sharpe straining a metaphor that was, frankly, doing some heavy lifting in Orwell's hands.

I think the gist of it is a tired co-option of people with dsds, but the combination of archness & obfuscation led me to bail partway through.
