I may have had wine, but I think my enthusiasm is still well placed

It's great, isn't it? Someone linked to it on another thread, but it definitely deserves reading twice.

Just fantastic. I might go down a glass and then go back and re-read. Really made me feel understood and supported. What a good find

It builds to a great crescendo.

I really like Gender Detective's articles. Always refreshing and to the point.

I like this article too

Oops link does work :(

Love it. Thanks for sharing the link.

I particularly liked this bit:
We knew perfectly well what made someone female when that female-ness guaranteed a life of subservience and pain. Only when women began to say no did their bodies become a concept

I love this! I studied philosophy a long time ago now, and I got very frustrated with so much of it, with post structuralism and post modernism, I could hardly understand half of what I read. And in the end my big take away was that most of this complex theory simply didn't matter to the reality being lived by most people in the world. That while there was a place and a reason for theoretical and academic wondering and study, it simply didn't MATTER tonso many people because reality just fucking exists at the end of the day. People get hurt, murdered, go hungry, go to prison, be homeless, have babies. There are material realities in people's lives.

And I get so utterly fed up reading these inane Twitter threads where people wang on about sex spectrums and mocking people with school level biology, and I just think how nauseating, how dismissive and rude to suggest that someone needs a degree in fucking quantum physics and another one in biology to understand that there are two sexes. To know - TO KNOW - how babies are made.

So hooray for this article. It is pretty much what I think and its nice to see it written down!

Who is the author I wonder?

Wow !

Ooh SheWhoMustNotBeHeard thank you, another one to look forward to reading!

Absolutely brilliant.

Wow, powerful. But also saddening.

That nearly brought tears to my eyes.

That is one hell of a good article.

Brilliant

I liked that piece. Thank you OP.

Very good. Very good indeed.

Bloody fantastic

After the nonsense from Miriam, this is a breath of fresh air, fantastic. A lot of the time it really feels we are voices in the wilderness, as if this debate has all been settled behind closed doors and we just have to accept this new reality: then this to show we are not alone and there is pushback! Thank you for posting it has made my day ❤️😊

Fucking love it

Thanks for sharing.

Excellent article.
