All creepy terms around being a tranny like egg, baby trans, etc go to show just how much of a fetish it. None of the fags or dykes I know have ever said shit like that. Granted the overwhelming majority of them are older than 40, but they all just came out of the closet. I dunno, maybe they say that shit among themselves, but they certainly don't broadcast it all over social media.

I've heard some people use the term "gayby" but it's usually deregatory, as in "Dating gaybies is a waste of time"
 
I’ve searched this thread and then ‘everywhere’ and I believe this is new content.

Rhys seems to be linked to this John Turri - Philosophical Science Org in some capacity and has co-authored publications.

https://john.turri.org/people/rachel-mckinnon / Archive
Occupation
I’m a philosopher and cognitive scientist at the University of Waterloo. My current research focuses on social cognition and communication, using tools from philosophy and cognitive science. My favorite parts of the job are working with brilliant and inspiring people and the thrill of discovering new things.

Education
I completed my undergraduate studies at Wayne State University and my graduate studies at Brown University. I’ve always learned best through informal collaboration and spontaneous exploration, which means I had to work against my instincts in the typical school setting. I learn more from teaching than I did as a student.

The Knowledge Account of Assertion (KAA) says that knowledge is the norm of assertion: you may assert a proposition only if you know that it’s true. The primary support for KAA is an explanatory inference from a broad range of linguistic data. The more data that KAA well explains, the stronger the case for it, and the more difficult it is for the competition to keep pace. In this paper we critically assess a purported new linguistic datum, which, it has been argued, KAA well explains. We argue that KAA does not well explain it

he was rhys' thesis supervisor at waterloo, and they coauthored a paper. not a super strong connection. rhys is listed among his students at the bottom of this page: https://john.turri.org/teaching

on the publication, it's common for grad students and their supervisors to coauthor stuff, but i also find it kinda gross and mediocre. but hey, phil studies is a top journal so rhys got an easy publication out of the deal by partnering a veteran to write something with.

found some "philosophy notes" regarding our boy


Matt writes, “Recent Waterloo Philosophy graduate Dr. Rachel McKinnon– now a SSHRC postdoctoral fellow at the University of Calgary– and I have just published a paper in Philosophical Psychology together called “This paper took too long to write: A puzzle about overcoming weakness of will.”
...

Carla Fehr just got back from The Diversity in Philosophy conference in Dayton, OH, a conference she organized conference with Peggy DesAutels and Sally Haslanger. Carla says, “we had 153 people register from across Canada, the US and the UK. We looked closely at how to improve the climate in philosophy for women, people of colour, LGBTQQ people, disabled people and other members of underrepresented groups. There was lots of UW Phil participation at this conference. In fact I think we did ourselves proud. Shannon Dea gave a paper, ‘Micro-Inequities in the Philosophy Class: A Case for Universal Design;’ recent PhD alum Rachel McKinnon gave a paper, ‘Stereotype Threat for Trans* Women;’ and Tim Kenyon was part of a Department Chairs’ Roundtable and was on a panel, ‘Pockets of Progress.’
...

To cap it all off we were thrilled to honor our two most recent PhD’s both receiving SSHRC post-docs! Eric Hochstein will spend his at Washington University, and Rachel McKinnon will spend hers at the University of Calgary.

...

Recent alum and current instructor Rachel McKinnon has just had a paper accepted in Metaphilosophy on the metaphysics of luck, and how luck ought to impact our normative evaluations of actions. The title is “Getting Luck Properly Under Control.” (link doesn't work)

...

First, our heartiest congratulations to our recent alum and current instructor Rachel McKinnon, who was just awarded a SSHRC post-doc! Rachel writes, “My SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellowship was awarded to help me with my research on the norms of practical reasoning, which is a natural extension of my work on the norms of assertion. There’s a parallel debate between what norms may govern the practices of assertion and practical reasoning: must we assert only what we know, and must we decide based only on premises that we know? I think that reasons for rejecting a knowledge norm of assertion also motivate rejecting a knowledge norm of practical reasoning. I also think that there are good reasons to suppose that while the norms of both practices will be related, they won’t be unified (i.e., the same norm governs both practices). I plan to take up this research with Jeremy Fantl, at the University of Calgary. My goals of this fellowship are to produce at least two refereed journal articles, to finish my book manuscript on the norms of assertion, and to finish the research for my next book manuscript on the norms of practical reasoning.”

did he actually do any of this?

So they co-authored at least two papers just from the info from on the John Turri web site.

I might have a bit more of a dig and see what else Rhys completed from his brag list.

You can guarantee if there is anything it’ll be badly indexed / referenced and he’s probably cited himself.
Click to expand...

it's common practice to cite yourself, since unless you write only on radically different topics, your projects and interests branch out and stuff you've done in the past is likely to contribute to stuff you're working on now.

i wouldn't write off these coauthored papers. the one on irksome assertions has a clear point and is in touch with the relevant literature. for all intents and purposes it's perfectly competent, and the journal is top tier.

if he didnt troon out and just focused on developing his research skills on epistemology, he'd probably be a somewhat decent, or at least competent, philosopher given his training.

I think his narcissism is a greater obstacle to being a decent philosopher more than his troonery. His absolute refusal to consider any criticism or differing viewpoints makes it unlikely he could have ever had any success without the "diversity" advantage he gets.

it's probably a combination of both. trooning out gave him a small pond to lord over with his mediocre academic street cred.

and it surely helped. the diversity advantage he gets now is massive, since a cis white straight male working in a core area of analytic philosophy with a phd from a not-so-great university has an uphill battle is borderline doomed without tons of work. (waterloo didn't make the PGR ranks in 2011, which rhys graduated from in 2012)

His quads are still hilarious to me. They dwarf his competition's and yet he still has to be selective of the races he competes in so he doesn't get shrekt.

Well, all that extra muscle power just goes to carrying around the Strategy Gut, so it's more or less a wash.
Imagine if he got in shape.

Eventually you get to a point where you ask them what you can even call the group of people who need care for a set of reproductive systems that all go together to form ovaries, uteri, and other parts required for conceiving a baby. Eventually, they'll come up with "AFAB."

So don't use any of the terms that have referred to this group for thousands of years to talk about this group. If you use the old term, it means this new thing where anyone who identifies as it, is it, on some deep metaphysical level. It didn't mean that before, but it does now, and if you want to talk about the old group, please use the new term. When the transtopia eliminates assignation of new babies, no word will exist to describe this type of anatomy, and we'll have to just talk about "people with vaginas." Scientists will later be shocked and have a major breakthrough when they announce the discovery that almost all uterus-havers also have vaginas and enlarged mammary glands, with X chromosomes and high endogenous estrogen production.

"people with vaginas."

But not all vaginas are alike so it is wrong to ascribe a single term to this vicinity on certain animate beings and then to define animate beings as though possessing this wrongly named bodily configuration has meaning when in fact it says nothing about identity, tenure, or record-breaking performances on bicycles.
 
Rhys won against women "out of spite". Hmmmm totally not a misogynist!

How come people be so dumb that they swallow Rhys's ploy hook line and sinker?

Mack Beggs is indeed a wrong example, for she is a girl who chooses to wrestle against boys. Gavin "Laural" Hubbard, however, is a Kiwi Rhys.

"Professional female athletes can beat some of the best male athletes." -- in Synchronized Swimming I presume?

You species are not too weak to be in the army, but too bumbfuck insane.

Rhys will be in Switzerland next month:

I'm tired of this line of "argument".

News about our favorite male 800m runner:

Semenya objects to IAAF's recommendation; IAFF object to his participation in their events. Fair deal.

I can't find any outright lies uttered by Bermon. Previously Rhys and co made a few allegations that I don't think hold water.

Our Teflon Protocow is ruminating the ontology of detransitioning.
777.png

As I've said in Zach's thread, not having a formal diagnosis or undergoing any form of transition has never invalidated a person's claim to be trans -- you are valid and you are loved on the basis of your self-ID -- but you remain Stunning and Brave only as long as you stay in line: the moment you detransition, your whole history becomes a lie.

But to be fair, whatever an ally says, he's steeped in a field of verbal landmines:
