goatstein's objections to transgender politics and culture are often accurate and it's funny and sad to see the way they bring out reflexive liberal groupthink among some of the posters here, it's just too bad his thoughts come from some kind of bizarre pathological hatred and are totally void of any semblance of human sympathy, especially in the context of his total lack of any other notable interests, opinions, or characteristics, except that "troops" thing i guess, and also his mounting incapacity to express himself in anything but redditisms

if you have no experience of this, and no investment in it, then where did you learn your opinion from, and why did you accept it and repeat it?



I replied to ur PM but for the purpose of this thread all I'll say is I want to qualify my statements - in practice an admissions policy has to have some way to certify gender beyond the applicant just saying "I'm a woman let me in" or whatever. and so I think it's reasonable for the standard to be legal gender, with all the hurdles that entails. So to clarify I'm saying, women's colleges should accept legally recognised transwomen and reject legally recognised transmen, which is, uh, already the policy by default, right?

But the shadow side of this tendency is be instrumental and cynical. There is a connection between the need for titillation, and this instrumental sobriety.



this is like saying marxists are also affected by gravity. it doesnt have anything to do with them being materialists

Talk to organizers in grass roots movements, anti death penalty, organic farming, prison reform, housing, and they will almost to a person tell you how bankrupt Academics are, and worse, how totally unhelpful are most Trotskyist movements. A friend once said to me, yes I’m a communist in a party that is labeled Stalinist. When people ask me why, he said, I tell them because its more democratic than the Trotskyist parties.



talk to organizers in those movements in the west and they will almost to a person tell you that they have never once had an opinion on "Trotskyist" anything
