Judith Butler is in town, and they is lying about the feminist position on gender woo woo, during an interview with Ash Sarkar, she of 'luxury communism' fame. You couldn't make the pair of them up
I am listening to the full interview it’s curious. Ash claims that trans women in prison are more likely to be victims of sexual assault than perpetrators. I am curious where she got that statistic and how to debunk it. It sounds unrealistic given that the majority of trans-identifying men in prison are violent criminals, and almost half are sex offenders last stat I saw.
Thank you Julie Bindle for writing this article. One of the things I find really annoying about this debate is the amount of lying in it. I am shocked at how many people lie about what their opponents say. I suspect they lie because their arguments are weak. For example, there is no good way to argue putting a male rapist in a woman’s prison is good.
No one does waffling word salad, circumventing concrete issues and never actually answering a question quite like Judith Butler. What baffles me is how the people in the YouTube comments celebrate her "logic" and "clarity" and "thoughtfulness" lol.
Butler logic: we fought to enable women to be whatever they choose, free from bio-essentialist constraints, *therefore* we must fight to enable whoever chooses to be a woman, free from biological reality. Cue cricket sounds to the beat of confused applause.
Spontaneously trans-identified bearded male sex offenders being sent to women's prisons under self ID based policies...yes but you clearly failed to consider that some prison guards and some women commit sexual assault, so 😌.
Sorry, Judith, us regular humans must not be smart enough to keep up with your superior intellectual flexibility.
One aspect of the pronoun debate I've not heard discussed is that for those using "they/them" pronouns, it can force the person trying to honor them to sound unwittingly like they is mocking Black English. They is scarily oblivious to concerns other than they own.
I have blocked Derpetology101 for his vile comments
Julie, I enjoyed this a lot. Thank you!
It's a classic Gish gallop. It's what Butler's entire oeuvre consists of.

Perfect!

oh Julie that last Answer was brilliant. l wasnt expecting that 🤣🤣🤣
Judith Butler is a fraud, and she has added nothing of value to academics.
“Gender” has no real application to humans. It’s a linguistics term for words only.
Read just even one sentence of Butler’s published “work.” It is nonsensical drivel. It means nothing.
She’s a joke.

The captions, Julie 😂
Clear as a bell.
You should be a professor on the subject.
This is beautifully clear and sensible. Thank you!
Brilliant!
