Ahh yes, "standpoint epistemology," or "positionality," as the critical theorists call it. I call it "just shut your damn mouth and submit." Exactly like the Catholic Church of the 15th Century.

And especially because Murphy wasn't talking about anybody's experience. If a man discovered that a certain birth control medication was dangerous, should he keep quiet about it lest he talk about other peoples lives and experiences? Heck, I think I'm right in saying that a man developed the first birth control pill. Obviously he had no business doing so. The pig.

All I need to know is that the “trans” are making dozens of completely unacceptable demands that I have no intention of obeying.

The fact that medical statistics and the late onset/outgrowing make plain that the great majority of “trans” are putting on an act and also not have GID is all the reason I need to be as “transphobic” as I please.

"Trans" jumped the shark and crushed a great deal of sympathy for the truly gender dysphoric when they attached themselves like leaches. It tends to lead to the thought that you expressed. Yet I know from things you have written in the past that you consider that to be unfortunate.
