There's a Twitter user stating that all women and trans

[Horehound]

Apparently they were assigned female at birth and has a vagina but is trans and all women are trans.
Omg what a load if WAFFLE.

Arran, where is your quote from?

I don't want to out her but she is a Mumsnetter from time to time (if I'm correct).

Lol! Is she?

there is something inherently bad and oppressive about thinking humans come in two sexes, and hence to underpin all the nonsense about ‘colonialism inventing the gender binary’ and the technical gibberish about whitecisheteropatriarchy

That’s an interesting analysis. I hadn’t heard about the colonial angle, but in one of TimeLady’s excellent links, Stephen Whittle was claiming that the concept of dimorphism sex didn’t emerge until the 18th century.....

made me laugh

dimorphic sex

^Love that. Whatsit called when the parody is hard to tell from the real thing?

Frightening^

What will anyone who disagrees be told?

What will anyone who disagrees be told?

There is some pushback interplay on the thread that is entertaining.

Should there be a MN standard response? Something with a V for Viper?

Hang on What will anyone who disagrees be told?
Die in a trans fat fire?

Re Stephen Whittle, scientific concepts of dimorphic sex arguably did not emerge until the 18th century when they were used to separate men and women in public life and the emerging professions (for example, medicine).

But people have always known who was male and who was female, for example, which group gave birth and (traditionally) who this birthing group were attended by (other women); which group were able to rape which group and so on; which group were made like Adam and which like Eve with the hierarchy that involved. It is nonsense to suggest otherwise.

The new ways scientists sought to explain and exploit sexual difference from the 18th century is not the same as saying that sexual difference did not exist - how did humans continue to procreate then? By accident?

AFAB transwoman was a thing on the Twatter about three years ago, IIRC. Loads of feminist had it in their bios and it sent the genderists gibbering (although at this point, I'm pretty stumped to think of anything that doesn't send them gibbering). Shortly before the Goody fashion!

But people have always known who was male and who was female, for example

Precisely. And the claim that male and females only emerged as distinct classes during the industrial revolution conveniently ignores the world beyond Europe. Where biological sex, alongside other significant factors, has had a defining influence on social roles for thousands of years....

Ah, circumgender returns!

Biological sex still does have a defining influence on social roles the world over. Even in post-industrial countries, who does the vast majority of child-rearing and care work? Not men.

I think it's a joke. I THINK. Looking at what the account is sharing.

@WomanBornNotWorn yep. Figured that out a wee while ago.
To be fair I am sleep deprived and it just didn't "click" when I initially read it. Then when a pp said it was a parody I re read and all became clear. Silly me!

It took me a while but ... Phew!

Who is this Stephen White chap / person / chapess? (don’t want to assume their gender!!). Never heard of them but I did study medieval history for 4 years in college and all the literature & sources I am familiar with, whether Christian, Muslim or any other cultures, have very clear awareness of and delineation between two biological sexes. This ‘post colonial’ interpretation of the sex binary as part of the history of white supremacist imperialism is a new idea and not a very convincing one, IMO.

Poe's law that's it, thanks Errol.

And yep, frightening.

Die in a trans fat fire?

Well that's just fucking priceless.

You don't even need this level of expertise to know for a fact it's unbelievable level bollocks.

You just need a primary education level knowledge of Henry VIII

If people didn't know about sex until the industrial revolution ... what was with his 40 year long, head chopping quest for a son?

I'm a trans woman too. No I will not confirm whether I was born with a vagina. Whhhy are you so obsessed with our genitaaaaaaals.

Re Stephen Whittle, scientific concepts of dimorphic sex arguably did not emerge until the 18th century

That's because 'science' as we recognise it (driven by empirical proof rather than ontological) arguably did not emerge until the 18th century in Western Europe.

Yet, even before the Industrial Revolution, individuals and society had no difficulties recognising the male/female dimorphism of the human race and assigning roles accordingly.
