This footnote by Amia Srinivasan, taken from her book, the Right to Sex, poses the question in a useful way. It is a hard question that is part of the psychosexual pre-history of our times. I will feel I have satisfied my purpose as I writer when I have answered it. Image
What I like about the framing is the way at looks at two pieces by the same author and uses it as a lens to look at the way the world change. Here are two of my favorites: salon.com/2005/09/20/kun…

And: thecut.com/2018/06/summer…
The story told in Srinivasan's sequence is in a way the same story told in mine. This is the story that hasn't quite been told, merely acted out by the culture industries.
The question is not hard in itself, it just becomes hard because of all the ways the culture has become involuted, but the work of writing is to master those involutions in such a manner as to make them straight them again
The rhetoric of the prior tweet is sure to be parsed as illustrative. And it is!

When I refer to "Hanania-tier hypocrisy", I refer to the most brazen lies ever told in a tone of supercilious scorn despite everyone, including himself, knowing that there is easily available evidence in his own publicly broadcasted words contradicting a posture he is assuming at the moment, quickly followed by assertions that thrashing around from one position to its opposite is a mark of a superior mind
No, the claim emerging from postmodern academia was that the harms associated with fat stigma imposed a psychic burden on patients that was more injurious to health than obesity itself.

Of course I don't think in terms of Team Blue or Team Red -- another example of Hanania's willingness to tell brazen lies that everyone, including himself, knows are false. persuasion.community/p/no-the-bmi-i…

First, the ACLU's lead trans rights litigator admitted before the Supreme Court that there is no evidence to support the claim that chemically castrating children reduces suicide.

Today, the incoming president of the medical lobby that creates standards of care for the gender industry is published stating that cutting off the breasts of teenage girls caught up in the delusion that they are boys isn't suicide prevention either.

And yet California is suing a hospital for complying with federal mandates to stop transing minors.Image

Gerald Posner on why the $2 million judgment against gender cultists who cut off the breasts of a 16-year old girl to "affirm" the delusion that doing so would turn her male marks the beginning of the end of the worst medical scandal of any of our lifetimes:

"For years, critics of pediatric gender medicine have warned that vulnerable minors were being rushed toward irreversible interventions without science-based psychological exploration, without meaningful long-term outcome data, and under an atmosphere of emotional coercion that routinely invoked suicide risk to justify speed. In this case, jurors heard testimony that a parent opposed the surgery but consented out of fear that refusal might lead to self-harm. They heard evidence that clinicians lacked full knowledge of the patient’s doubts and psychological history. They heard that key records were never obtained and that the professionals involved failed to meaningfully consult with one another.

In other words, they heard facts that successful trial lawyers understand very well."Image

Meanwhile, state attorney generals are pushing to make it illegal NOT to propagate the cult of medicalized self-harm recruiting among troubled children

BREAKING: A detransitioned woman who received a "gender affirming" double mastectomy at the age of 16 just received a $2 million medical malpractice judgment from a jury in New York state.

The dam just broke.
Piece from earlier this month on the start of the trial: theepochtimes.com/us/civil-trial…
Prediction: there isn't a gender doctor in America that won't eventually be successfully sued for malpractice or fraud.

We brainwashed hundreds of thousands of unstable young people to believe that chemically castrating and dismembering themselves is their only way to become their true selves and avoid suicide and that anyone preventing them from inflicting the ultimate sexual violence on themselves is a Nazi who wants to kill the children he’s protecting from the ultimate sexual violence. Of course they will threaten and commit violence.

Colorado just passed a law forcing every private insurer in the state to cover the cost of cheek implants, lip augmentation, nose jobs, and breast implants (among other elective cosmetic procedures) for one group of legally privileged people -- men who claim to be women and women who claim to be menImage
It's literally against the law in Colorado not to force every insurance customer to bear the cost of the elective castration or nose job of any man who claims to be a woman
No. A man gets breast implants covered by insurance because for him it is lifesaving and medically necessary care. A woman getting breast implants would be merely cosmetic.
