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. supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/18/1…

A third brief, this one citing Rebecca Reilly-Cooper's lazy fabrication about what talk of gender identity involves. supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/18/1…

Jesse Singal, Alice Dreger, Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria, Zucker cited in another, again to delegitimize scholarly consensuses. supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/18/1…

An old notebook page, from when my sister was dying, and a woman I thought was one of my closest friend convinced everyone I’d fallen out of contact with I was abusing her. But it was enough. That is the surprise
You have to be ride or die for yourself, and your best friend, but a good friend, the kind that will look openly and honestly in the dark corners and see if you’ve done wrong, safe because you know you can’t be irredeemable when you are willing to change.
The year is 1912. Guess how Zionist colonists are responding to Palestinians raising early concerns about how exclusionary Zionist settlement was impacting them. That’s right, by accusing them of antisemitism palestine-studies.org/sites/default/…
No one needs to speculate about what made Palestinians resist Zionism because it is documented, you can watch it develop pastebin.com/0GqYbZxh
Sharing advanced agricultural methods was the central benefit Zionists claimed that their settlement would have for Palestinians, so discovering that they were actually specifically prohibiting local students from learning those methods and lying about it was a big deal
people are like “Zionists did NOT colonize Palestine. it was a Jewish kingdom in 500 BC” as though Europeans showing up somewhere brown people live like “this all belongs to us…. We have a connection from two thousand years ago…..” isn’t the most colonial shit you’ve ever heard
literally just uncut colonial idiocy. look at it, it’s fucking embarassing
ok summary thread: A good citizen noticed Britain’s leading transphobe Helen Joyce next to him on the train having a meeting about not letting trans people use the toilet. Then he noticed she was multitasking with a little Harry Potter porno on her phone archive.is/NJzXw
And look, it didn’t seem likely. But he found what looks exactly like what was on her screen and it is Draco Malfoy jerkin it to Hermione Granger’s underpants
@jk_rowling
@jk_rowling Sex Matters responded by immediately confirming that Helen Joyce was reading large print Harry Potter porn in public, but only to stop people from being trans. sex-matters.org/posts/press-re…
I don’t think people fully appreciate what the @nytimes has done here. Nothing this extreme had been published in Israel and, as anyone could have predicted, the reaction was exceptionally genocidal rotter.net/forum/scoops1/…
Every soldier serving in Gaza must read this. This eliminates many questions and apparent "moral dilemmas". These human savages grew up in an environment that encourages it, and supports it. There are no innocents in Gaza
This detail was extremely salient to some Israelis and what it meant to them was that there are no civilians in Gaza
To be clear the normal evidence for weaponized sexual violence in war is not forensic pathology, it is witness and victim testimony about a pattern of cases. What Israel is missing is just testimony from independent witnesses about multiple incidents, it is basic stuff
After months of searching Israel appears to have found one witness who claims to have seen 5 women raped and murdered at the Nova festival with a friend that partially backs her up, but no one can identify any of the victims among the 144 women that actually died there.
They don’t need fancy forensics they just need witnesses to concrete specific incidents, not unqualified people speculating about corpses. Israel’s claim is that there were many exceptionally violent sexual assaults, and it is really unusual for no one to have even heard
