Kathleen Stock's Medium post pretending she and her friends are being oppressed has now been cited by an amicus brief in the current US Supreme Court case that might legalize employment discrimination against trans people.

Very cool for disciplinary UPHEAVAL caused by bigoted hacks to be used to try to delegitimize a brief by philosophers who actually work on these issues arguing that transphobic discrimination is covered as a kind of sex discrimination.

Another brief citing Stock pretending she is being oppressed, this time to support the claim that the court can't trust the medical consensus about trans people's needs. Jesse Singal comes in too.

A third brief, this one citing Rebecca Reilly-Cooper's lazy fabrication about what talk of gender identity involves.

Jesse Singal, Alice Dreger, Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria, Zucker cited in another, again to delegitimize scholarly consensuses.
