Great article. Glosswitch is so perceptive.

Great piece.
Thanks for sharing 👍

Brilliant article.

Remember the joke about the male feminist who walks into a bar because it was set so low? Didn't know this joke but it is really perceptive!

Yes, men can accept tw as women because it costs them nothing. In fact, they gain from it. Just don't expect them to fuck them.

Lovely article, thanks for the thread on it!

As the philosopher Clare Chambers warns, “If a category is removed before the oppression that creates it, the oppression stays in place but the ability to describe it is lost.” This is only a problem for members of the oppressed class, though.

Isn't that the truth?

I'm increasingly concerned though that no matter how carefully and repeatedly women try to explain this, we are talking to those who appear to have no capacity to hear or understand. Sturgeon being a prime example.

Really? Not my experience. And you can’t change sex.

Brilliant. Really nails this thing that has been bothering me.

Women who, importantly, are pretty much the last people on earth who’d be morally disgusted by someone transgressing patriarchal gender conventions, and whose speech shows no empirically verifiable relationship with the kind of patriarchal violence directed at trans women. That is, accusations of transphobia are being directed against the group of people — women who have theoretical and political objections to the trans rights agenda — who are actually least likely to experience moral disgust over trans people’s gender expression, and this is being done for purely political reasons.
