Exactly. I’m just so puzzled that the inconsistencies in reasoning are not apparent.

Perhaps because of cognitive bias?

Well, I believe that both our rational discourse and logical analysis are highly influenced by the "structure" of the world we possess. E.g., an implication (A then B) can be obvious in a familiar context and neglected in an alien one.

I think I probably agree with you but I am not sure without an example in the context?

E.g., gender is "real" when evaluated in a familiar sector of the population, but it is a product of social construction when considered in a less familiar one. Here familiarity is a confounding factor.

Social constructs are real. Or do you mean biological vs non? If so, that won't really help out a TERF PoV since they claim it's 100% social and then resort to vagina == woman, rendering their arguments incoherent and inconsistent.

Iris van Rooij @IrisVanRooijReplying to @PsychScientists @djnavarro and 2 othersI think you are missing the ‘invalidating’ part here, and I feel you are going along with harmful rhetoric. If rad fem really believed that gender were a mere social construction they would have no notion if ‘real women’ to reserve for cis women.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

The funny thing is TERFs hate the word "cis" and yet for all intents and purposes use "real" to mean exactly EXACTLY the same thing.

They also claim "cis" is a made up word (all words are made up) — but like "cis" is fucking Roman, you fucks! E.g., https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cisalpine_Gaul …
