I would vote for pretty much any Republican candidate if it would block a second Trump administration. Trump pushes boundaries & norms that most politicians would not because he is a fool, a narcissist, and a villain. Sometimes when that happens, like today, it will unavoidably…

By fraud, I mean that your post claiming this was satire is a transparent attempt to put a very stupid genie back in a very small bottle after two decades of people taking your platonic view of scientific abstractions seriously and citing you for the claim that there are more...

than two sexes. In other words, I'm calling your claim this is a satire a lie, making you a liar, which is another synonym for fraud that you will likely find next to deceit and trickery in your thesaurus.
@Fausto_Sterling
But then you know that, because the original thread is full of people making the same or similar points. So god knows why you are taking issue with it now since you've long since conceded the point by your silence. The only satirical thing here is your demand for retraction.
Our society has really failed these people. How does a person become so ill-equipped to deal with the world they choose to humiliate themselves in public like this woman had for the mild emotive buzz of insincere, vapid social media sympathy?
@Fausto_Sterling
Additional evidence is Leonard Sax’s assessment that you misrepresented the prevalence of DSDs in order to make your case that human sexes are not two discrete categories, but a continuum. Which is a lie within a lie; fraud within fraud...

of The Five Sexes. I could go on, but I feel I've justified my claims here more thoroughly than you ever have justified your claim that “the five sexes” was a joke.
@queersurgeon
surgeons who perform fgm also brag about how the parents support it & the girls feel empowered. but i’m sure yr elective psychosexual surgery is very different. CERTAINLY society will never look back on yr work w/ the same horror that attends use of lobotomy to “cure” homosexuals
@Fausto_Sterling
The 1 to 2 percent of babies born with conditions you include in your idiosyncratic definition of intersex that includes individuals whose phenotypes are unambiguously male or female are all neither male nor female. sounds an awful lot like the supposedly satirical thesis...
@Fausto_Sterling
Notably, Sax cites reviews of Sexing the Body, which presumably isn't your answer to Gulliver’s Travels, which describe a continuity in your construction of the category “intersex” between “the Five Sexes” and the later book.
He also quotes an interview where you claim...

So, a straight couple pretending to be lesbians make a scene over nonsense by berating a person of lower socioeconomic status after getting high in public.
Checks out.

no, just as with sex, we use both. people like you and monty would be unable to tell whose pieces belong to whom because you we’re constantly insisting that the colors we’re socially constructed and could be whatever anyone wants.
Satire is usually recognizable by the fact that it is funny. Also, if the five sexes was satire, then proceeding to question the sex binary and describe an “intimate dance” between sex and gender makes absolutely no sex. Fausto Sterling is a fraud.
@19hassan49
slandering the working class teachers in public school systems that are the closest thing to a socialist institution our society has is reactionary. reassess this elitist, bourgeois nonsense.

You do? Could a fooled me since you don't pay attention to anything they say and lob misogynistic epithets at them all the time.
@garylfrancione
Its not puzzling. It makes perfect sense b/c it really isn't about safety; they are lying to cover for their own narcissistic entitlement. Before cross dressing became an identity, back in the 90s, cross dressers & transsexuals using men's facilities w/o any fuss. It doesn't ...
@dhothersall
i don’t recall the gay rights movement ever telling straight people they were bigots for not wanting to have sex with members of the same sex. nor do i recall the gay rights movement ever challenging the basic definition of what it means to be heterosexual.
This dude has been throwing a tantrum on Twitter for days in defense of his favorite porn subgenre. Now, after repeatedly failing to justify any of his question begging nonsense, he’s turned off comments and is whining about being asked to perform the basic task of his field.
Anytime a GC/TERF invites you to ask them their definition of something on here, that’s a fucking trap.
It’s an invitation for their followers to heap abuse on you. The same with an invitation for “debate” or “dialogue.” They’re not acting in good faith, whatever their claims.
Kellie Jay Keen is a reactionary opportunist. Many people know better but are afraid of her cult and so they make lame excuses for her. It's embarrassing and I'm too loaded on painkillers for my herniated disk to hold my tongue about it.

No, he isnt. phenotype is the expression of genotype through cell division + physical growth, not cell division + physical growth + extensive plastic surgery, makeup, and photoshop.
What a douche. I'm looking at these women thinking they've cracked the code and wishing I'd spent some time living this way when I was younger. What goes wrong in a dudes life that he feels like this is a problem?
@ScottCJonesy
Nothing about critical views about gender is entails having a problem with gender nonconformity or homosexuality. In fact, it celebrates gender nonconformity and the people who first wrote about these issues were mostly lesbians. 1/2

@queersurgeon
you mean you help people imitate sexist gendered speech norms and speak in a different register. what a productive use of yr no doubt extensive education and training.
that moment when you care so much about people with DSDs that you insult a woman with Turner syndrome because she doesn’t want to be force teamed with your creepy clique of mens rights activists.
& I have a vested interest in making sure you don’t try to erase my queer trans intersex friends, bootlicker
News flash: having Turner’s doesn’t absolve you of transphobia & you’re actually giving yourself up as a token for the far right, who consider you an abomination.

how long did you spend in practice before becoming a professor? how many clients have you represented? how does your purported expertise in criminal law translate to any kind of authority to make judgements about demography?
@SVPhillimore
It seems uncontroversial that menno is correct: endorsing preferred pronouns in style & usage guides results in missexing perpetrators in public reports about serious crimes. That's worth criticizing.
@mollistan
that doesn’t sound accurate to me. most food banks are first come first served, and discriminating on the basis of sex in public housing is unlawful.
Wanting a middle school aged child to be prosecuted and potentially jailed over a push…legitimately psychotic behavior. Just completely devoid of empathy or reason.
I think some of the GCs have gotten so habituated to arguing with TRAs that they have lost the ability to actually pay attention to what people who disagree with them in good faith are saying.
Dear GCs,
You were warned, repeatedly, by sympathetic radical & socialist feminists & marxists, about the dangers of blurring the lines between liberal gender critics & conservative gender traditionalists. Good luck with the stupid fight you could have avoided.
@hannahcrileyy
@realbigfactsre1
That is not what is happening here. This travesty is a result of a lack of accountability for the courts and public defender contractors that uniquely targets the poor. This can't just happen to anyone, that's part of what makes it so incredibly unjust.
@FeministRoar
Singularly infuriating. Ive got him muted and think the best response to him would be systematically ignoring him. He clearly gets off on the negative attention.
This is what “single issue, house on fire” buys you: cultural chauvinism, bigotry, & allegiance w/ the Taliban. Hijra are an oppressed minority whose “third gender” status is a result of the overwhelming patriarchal oppression of homosexuality in India & Pakistan. Shameful.
Malala Yousafzai, shot by the Taliban at 15 for demanding girls' right to education, went on to study at Oxford.
Now she has backed a movie about a man who identifies as a woman, and says we need "other ways" to challenge "the social norms that deny women their basic rights."

Transgender marxism is a contradiction in terms. Marx himself never addressed the issue because he died almost a century before John Money made up gender identity.

some of us fellow travelers have been warning radfems about playing footsie with the right for literally years now. Honestly, this is the predictable outcome of looking the other way on KJK, Boyce, Shrier and other high profile conservative voices in the movement.

the difference between “always” and “ all but for a vanishingly small group of statistical outliers” is meaningless. this is a silly thing to argue about and argument about suggests unseriousness and clique formation in the women’s movement,

this wouldn’t need pro bono, it’s a constitutional tort against the state. a lawyer who took it would be paid on contingency. Pfau Cochrane Vertetis Amala in Seattle is a likely candidate because they have taken a number of sexual violence 3rd party cases against the state.
This is what we mean when we say that identity politics is bourgeois class politics. Here we have a tenure track professor with an advanced degree in idpol studies using idpol epithets developed by corporate HR consultants to defend crossing a picket line by hotel workers. Trash.
