The nominal debate about sexual organs is a rather dumb one. You either think gender is assigned or innate and frankly that is of little consequence. The consequential discussion is why you think that: itโ€™s either fragile masculinity or concern over safety in private spaces /1
IMO the latter is the only valid reason. I donโ€™t care if a dude is scared that he will โ€œaccidentallyโ€ be attracted to a trans woman and hit on her. Deal with your own insecurities without trampling on other peopleโ€™s rights. But safety in private spaces or fairness in sports? Sure
Hereโ€™s the thing though: safety and fairness are not โ€œtrans issuesโ€. A fully cis male bathroom can be unsafe for a little boy (hi Catholic Church). Privacy concerns can be addressed with lockable personal booths. Transness is not the reason why private spaces can be unsafe

Piers Morgan approaches taxonomy as an ontological phenomenon. Categories are objective, universal and true. He never worries whether a tomato is a vegetable or a fruit, humans have perfectly taxonomized nature and categories never overlap. Hence he thinks this is a clever gotcha
The problem is @EdwardJDavey apparently agrees with him, but has to assume a pro trans position for political reasons. So he is confronted with an impossible problem: his categories are ontological, but his position is not. He cannot resolve the conflict and this is the result
Gender theory and feminism are not about ontological categories. Women are *not* ontologically (by the very fact of being women) the "weaker sex"; they don't "belong in the kitchen"; or "born to be mothers". This is why de Beauvoir said one is not โ€œborn a woman, but becomes oneโ€

Unsurprisingly, Elliotโ€™s conclusion is based on a misunderstanding of the applicable law. The statement โ€œinference to genocide requires that no other reasonable explanation existโ€ isโ€ฆ letโ€™s say inexact.
The applicable test is not โ€œcan you *explain* what Israel is doing *as a whole* through any reasonable explanation other than genocideโ€, but rather whether intent to destroy can be reasonably inferred from a specific pattern of conduct
So saying โ€œit is more reasonable to explain Israelโ€™s actions as trying to destroy Hamas and save hostages, than commiting genocideโ€ is not really what the test requires. What is the specific pattern of conduct that Elliot is examining here? None. He is making an abstract argument

This is what I call โ€œlegal vulturingโ€. Salo loiters above the text looking for anything he can slap a red underline and claim โ€œhe is the only one who noticedโ€. Itโ€™s bad faith work that deserves no serious engagement. So let me treat this like the piece of disinformation it is ๐Ÿงต Image
Salo claims there is a secret paragraph 141 that scholars ignore on purpose to deny Israel a right to self defence. But article 141 is part of a subsection of the Opinion dealing specifically with self-defence. It goes from ยง138 to ยง142.
As Salo shows, in ยง139, the ICJ concludes that art. 51 of the UN Charter, which sets out the right of self defence, is not applicable to Israelโ€™s actions in Palestine because

1) the threat it claims is not imputable to a state and article 51 only applies between states Image

So far Iโ€™ve seen the ongoing collapse of US hegemony as a protracted process of imperial decline, driven by a rally-to-the-flag retreat from the world known as โ€œMAGAโ€. But now Iโ€™m wondering if that rally to the flag will actually lead to a much more violent and sudden process
The US has a heavily armed population which lacks access to mental healthcare and social safety nets. Increasingly, the random and senseless school shooting is being overshadowed by the targeted political assassination as the go-to โ€œexhaust ventโ€ of these social processes
Obviously, this is terrible. A Democratic representative, a healthcare CEO, a conservative commentator and the attempted assassination of the current president canโ€™t be dismissed anymore as fluke accidents. Arguably, some are choosing to do this instead of mass shootings

The IDFโ€™s new international hasbara law excuse to justify imposing conditions of life that make civilian life in Gaza impossible seems to be that the military advantage of destroying a camera justifies the โ€œincidentalโ€ civilian harm of dozens of homes destroyed
Imagine for a second this logic replayed for residential buildings in Tel Aviv. Thereโ€™s security cameras managed by the city hall on top of the building and a Palestinian group is planning to attack the city. Thus, so the IDF does not use it, they blow up the whole building
It would be deemed one of the worst terrorist attacks in Israelโ€™s history. An act of โ€œbarbarismโ€ that should be condemned again and again. The logic behind it โ€œoh but we wanted to make average Israelis turn on the IDF so we need to pummel Tel Avivโ€ would be deemed insane
