She was pretty rude in places, that was true. I think transphobic is an unfair review, though

TERF implies a lot of baggage that I’m not sure I see here. She’s trying to (from her perspective) correctly lay out the terrain and the vocab, so it’s not about excluding it’s about being able to talk usefully

That is, of course, a tricky path. In the hands of Dawkins, etc it can become a very ‘well actually’ sort of endeavour with not enough listening. That seemed the gist of the piece Iris linked me to

I worry that TERF just shuts down discussion, and at least some of those discussions are worth having

I don't worry too much what cis men think on this topic, but thanks for explaining.

The discussion worth having here is why people want to give legitimacy to fallacious arguments and ‘debate’ the gender identities of vulnerable minorities.https://twitter.com/irisvanrooij/status/1019338557247447040?s=21 …

Hey
@PsychScientists please listen to Olivia and Iris on this. Jack H/lberstam and other TERFs use that kind of rhetoric to erase NB folks all the time. It’s fundamentally dehumanizing to speak about NB folx in the way the article does.1 reply 1 retweet 6 likes -
I’ll absolutely take this on board. I’m very much not looking to be a dick here. I have some concerns about some bandwagons, but I’m mostly interested in not harming anyone

Fam as someone who has heard H/lberstam irl use that logic&then extend it to say directly that NB people are invalid bc their existence reinforces the gender binary, trust me when I say that article and its writer are transphobic. I trust your humanity and don’t want you duped

If you want to learn about gender, non-binary people, trans people generally... Watch this by @ContraPoints. And indeed watch every one of her videos.https://youtu.be/b_uEXzqW43c
