Jesus, it takes some doing to have an debate with a figment of your own imagination and still have the weakest argument. Fortunately the brilliant Jane Claire Jones makes this train wreck into tolerable reading.

If you struggle with cringe comedy I'd give it a miss. I was honestly reading from between my fingers at one point it was that painful.

Good greif.
I happened past another one of this person's blog posts...

This person is a "trans femme non binary person" in their own words, not a man....
Righto love.

Sorry, Jane Clare Jones is responding to Thetransphilosopher who I linked to above.

It's painful isn't it. Actually made me wince in places. You know your arguments are bad when you're losing to the voices in your own head! Not sure I can cope with any more of their "philosophy" - maybe tomorrow after a very strong drink.

I've borrowed someone else's sarcasm and now refer to myself as a "femme presenting gay transman", i.e. a straight female in a dress and make up Grin

Gawd I love Jane Grin

She so succinctly says it for what it is.

I wonder whether the person who wrote the original article read it back and think 'yes, nailed it'

Note to author - you really didn't.

Thanks OP for the link, and thanks Jane Clare Jones for the analysis. I like the way she tells it as it is.
