Those views
NC: Miren said this am that she could not think of any expression of GC / sex realist beliefs that is not transphobic. Do you agree with that? Any expression is necessarily transphobic?
KT: I’ve not heard every sex-realist view expressed, so, can’t say all transphobic. Too simplifying to say that.
NC: Can you think of an expression of it you would not regard as transphobic?
KT: Not sure what you are looking for.NC: Do you understand what I mean by SR beliefs? Know what they are? Sex is binary, 2 sexes; everyone is M or F; you can’t change between them; sometimes sex matters. Is that transphobic?
KT: Yes the way those views expressed are often at the expense of trans people.
“Those views.”
NC: The way I just said them. Was that transphobic?
KT: Making judgement on just a few sentences – lacks any nuance.
Nuance ffs.
This isn’t poetry, it isn’t art, it isn’t the wonderful world of creativity. It’s just reality. Humans are not rabbits; plants are not stones; houses are not bicycles. We don’t need nuance every time we say something – often we need the opposite of nuance, i.e. complete clarity. “Did you order the Code Red?” is not a quest for nuance.
Just a guess, but I’d assume that, so long as no one disturbs the compartmentalization, it’s acceptable. Sure, it’s fine to say there are two sexes, and people cannot change sex, but then to claim that therefore transwomen are men, that’s a bridge too far, that’s transphobic. Don’t disrupt my “kind and inclusive” views with your damn logic.
