Status Updates From The Genesis of Gender: A Ch...

At this point she's just repeating herself and I'm kind of exhausted

And her she's degendering a trans woman by refusing to use any pronouns to talk about her and as a result is making her writing demonstrably worse and more awkward to read while also being disrespectful

Girl you cannot be moving into antisemitism in the last 10% of the book

What's wild is that she talked about how as a teenager people called her Manish and said she had man legs and how much that bothered her but she seems to be fundamentally incapable of extending that into empathy and compassion for trans people

Eugh you cannot be citing Kiera Bell's rancid ass

More deliberate misgendering

Lmao don't pretend you give a shit about women's sports

Yeah so if accepting people are the gender they say they are takes conscious effort on your part? You're the problem babe

I do think it's funny that she said her ideal HR compliance training would be an email that just said "don't be a dick" as she proceeds to be a massive dick for 230 pages

Like girl all you've done here is declare that anyone who's had a hysto no longer has a vagina

If you define a vagina as the entryway to the uterus then anyone with a vagina and no uterus suddenly also has no vagina

That's what you've done here

Yall she's so mad about birth control it's a little insane

Yeah so you finding it affirming that you're bad at your job isn't great

Yeah so the thing is that when trans people get transitional care our health outcomes improve so actually transition IS priorizing health

I knew she was gonna piss me off but holy fuck she's so disingenuous

Yeah so transition care and not doing unnecessary surgery on intersex children are only at odds if you think trans people are being mandated to have surgery by doctors and not doing it voluntarily in most cases

Trans people have literally talked about how it's bad that you are required to have had gender related surgery to change your gender on paper in many countries because it's a violation of bodily autonomy

So what you've done here is invent a social construct

You're just using a different social construct for sex than literally everyone else

Because again: social construct does not mean "isn't real"

I got some bad news for you: if your definition of sex requires gamete production then you've declared about half of people w klinefelter's to be sexless

Because they don't produce sperm

So if that's your entire definition then you have completely destroyed your own argument that people w klinefelter's are unambiguously male

She is now insisting that people w klinefelter's or PMOS are not intersex which is fundamentally incorrect

But them being intersex damages her argument so she necessarily has to deny the conditions being intersex

Uh huh

And how are you then going to account for SRY inactivation

Or chimerism
Or the fact that we do not check for the SRY gene when a baby is born and as a result we are in fact just making a guess as to the sex and gender of the kid

No one is saying the guess is arbitrary. But it's still just a guess.

Social construct does not mean "isn't real"

Money is a social construct but you still have to pay your taxes.

Starting to think this lady doesn't actually know what bodily autonomy means because she seems to be under the impression that it's inherently about sex

Girl I cannot emphasise enough that this is an insane and frankly alarming reaction to just seeing a man you don't even know scroll tinder on an airplane

And now she's repeating a demonstrably untrue myth about breast cancer so that's cool
