No way, a tranny putting himself left, right and centre?
Reminds me of Parkertron, who thinks biological sex is a social construct (archive)
This is exactly why I stopped using preferred pronouns. Initially I figured it just wasn't a big deal, pronouns really shouldn't be gendered in the first place, it's just a weird cultural artifact. But then they start using the fact that you're willing to play along with their delusions as evidence that they aren't delusions. They'll claim that you're hypocrite because you disagree with them but weren't an asshole about it. At first I didn't want to die on the pronoun hill, but then they proved that if you give an inch of ground they'll claim the entire field.So I’ve spent quite a lot of today attempting to discuss gender with people who are convinced that transsexual women are (despite the name) actually men.
Ironic that TRAs hate Alice Dreger. Then again, the reason that she started researching transsexuality and began advocating the existence of AGP was because the TRAs tried to get her on their side after she made a name for herself as an advocate for intersex rights.If you’re interested in a more in-depth examination of biological sex as a social construct I highly recommend “Hermaphrodites and the medical invention of sex, by Alice Domurat Dreger”. I read it while working with Professor Sarah Creighton, a gynaecologist whose area of expertise is adolescent and adult women with disorders of sexual differentiation.
Wow, that's an especially hot take, even for a gender-ideologist. I don't think I've seen them claim that actual intersex conditions can't be readily recognized through objective, measurable factors. They usually just like to claim that the existence of intersex people somehow negates the straightforward classification of male and female.Then, as science progressed and different biological features were discovered, it was said that your hormones were what made you male or female, or what appearance the cells of your gonads (testes, ovaries, or occasionally something inbetween) had under microscope. Chromosomes were discovered, giving us another way to try to find out someone’s “true sex”.
But the fact is, no one of these features can be used to tell whether someone is male, female, or intersex. It’s true that MOST women are born with a clitoris, vagina, uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries, have low testosterone and high oestrogen and progesterone, and have XX chromosomes.
Looking through his blog (which he stopped updating 5 years ago after writing the execrable article "Why women aren’t oppressed solely because of their biology") he seems like he would have a thread here, he was kicked out of a gym for showing off his underwear, but he claimed that it was because people were offended to see a woman lifting weights. Also he does roller derby which in and of itself should qualify him as a cow. His tumblr and blog haven't updated in a while, but his twitter is still super active. I only see retweets though.
