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.

after my sister was less mobile I would put her outfits together for her and once I chose a shirt and then kinda lost track of things and picked up a leopard print sweater and turned around and she was in bed looking at me INCREDULOUSLY because I had given her a zebra print shirt

idk why this is a treasured memory

when i was in fifth grade someone wrote FUCK YOU on the bathroom wall in period blood and i told my teacher there was this blood on the wall situation and she was like “[are u fuckin stupid? voice] then clean it up.” not sure that was a best practice

i did not really follow biohazard precautions because i was 10 years old

on reflection when ur a child u don’t really clean up random messes you find in the elementary school? this was a weird place to start
