Kathleen Stock OBE: Trans Women Aren't Women

3 жыл бұрын

It's a view held by most people, so why has it become so controversial to state that trans women aren't women? On this episode of "So What You're Saying Is..." (#SWYSI) we are joined by Prof. Kathleen Stock OBE, professor of philosophy at the University of Sussex and author of the best-selling book: "Material Girls: Why Reality Matters for Feminism".
Prof. Stock discusses the issues of sex vs. gender and gender identity, and explains how trans activists, arguing that gender is psychological not physical, now claim that womanhood & manhood are genders in a social, rather than biological, sense.
She discusses the possible motives for Stonewall's decision to become so actively involved in trans rights, as well as the vilification of its outspoken critics such as Germaine Greer and Julie Bindell. Prof. Stock has herself been the target of campaigns to silence, cancel and no platform.
Prof. Stock also discusses the negative impact the more extreme trans rights positions are having on women (changing rooms, public toilets, prisons etc.) as well as the young, and gays & lesbians.

Her book makes no attempt to genuinely suppose what being trans might be other than considering some rather trivial popular descriptions e.g. the "stick of rock/ SOR model". She also (in an Oxford or Cambridge Union debate - I forget which) used a reverse statistic about the proportion of trans women serving custodial sentences that are due to sexual assault to imply something about risks posed by trans women when such a statistic could never provide that kind of information (you'd need to know what proportion of trans women altogether commit acts of violence - same as you can't judge all males on statistics concerning only males in prison). She's able to sound very considered and I'm sure she's well meaning but despite her academic background she's far from a clear thinker on this topic. When asked whether she thinks that trans women may be less likely to pose a risk to women than cis men she scoffs and avoids the question. Difficult to discern what is actually motivating her but it's not an unbiased or unmotivated position.

@@jnielson1121 It was the LGBTQ+ community that added and pushed for the words CIS, and CISGENDER, because they don't like it when normal people refer to them as not normal, or abnormal. That is why the CIS words were added to the dictionary a few years ago. Now when it comes to the trans stuff, well saying that Trans Women are Women, or Trans Men are Men will work for the trans, Non Binary, or Gender Fluid individuals, but it doesn't work for the rest of the world that isn't part of the LGBTQ+ community. You say you are open minded, however people in the LGBTQ+ community, and those that are part of ANTIFA are FAR from being open minded. They are open to people that will bend to their ways, but are not open minded to anyone that doesn't agree with them. Considering the vast majority of the population DON'T agree with many of these trans rights. As a matter of fact, when Non Binary, or Gender Fluid individuals can change there gender identity, and/or pronouns whenever they want, but what really kills me is when some of those same individuals will continue to change their reindeer gender identity pronouns whenever they want. So today an individual could be using They/Them pronouns, and a week from now be something else, like Ze/Zir. That is just really screwed up. It not about being open, its about what is right and wrong at this point, especially when some of those individuals can change their current pronouns with the wind, but want everyone else around them to play along with their current selection of pronouns. Some of those individuals will go as far to wear a pin, or badge, or some article of clothing that has their current pronouns plastered on those wearable items. That is a fail for any society, period. Plus some of those individuals want to get rid of gender on drivers license, as well as having gender removed from some other things as well. This is gone off the rails, because this is effecting everyone, and not just the Trans/Non Binary/Gender Fluid communities.

The producers of the chemicals to spay and neuter men and women. To get them hooked on chemicals - on medicines - all of their lives, like slaves. The surgery procedures are tens of thousands of dollars and they are a money-maker to medical organizations. "Reputable medical organization" is not so reputable. When they commit malpractice it's always extremely difficult to get them to admit mistakes and compensate victims. We live in a world where pharmaceutical companies consider us cattle to experiment and derive an income from. It's easy and cheap for them to exert influence in colleges and universities worldwide, since they own laboratories and fund research. Science is beholden to Big Pharma.

I had a 13 years old student who decided every week what gender she was, and i had to respect that and change my pronouns every time, that was a complete joke.

@@trevordeane3940 I agree with you on the need for compassion because truth be told, 95% of the time at least in my experience there is no harm in just living and letting live. People choose to present themselves to the world in a number of ways and wouldn’t it just be better if we left each other to live the way that makes us happy in good faith? That being said, in my opinion compassion does not equal acquiescing to every demand or saying yes to every new development. The process of becoming and creation necessitates that we humans and all beings constantly press the envelope of accepted category and rules. However there is, and naturally need be a limit to how much the metaphorical envelope can be pushed. Restraints and restrictions can be oppressive yes, but there are simultaneously what allow us to create category itself and all that follows from it. So there is a constant push and pull to maintain that balance and still allow for the emanation of the new. 4 years ago I would have considered myself staunchly pro trans, pro freedom and I still stand by my reasons and opinions of that time. Now? Not so much, there are some things that it is ok and necessary to say no to. Just my 2 cents.

I once had a conversation with a Syrian immigrant in Hamburg Germany. He had trauma from living in a war torn country. And he asked me a sincere question knowing that I studied psychology (I am not a therapist). He asked, “Why is it that when a man cries women run away. And when a woman cries women run to them to comfort them.” I was struck by the question because when I initially went into therapy for PTSD, I had a woman therapist. And when I broke down in grief. She reported that she felt a reflex to leave room. She said this as an admission of her counter-transference (which is common for a therapist to do on occasion). I also experienced this in subtle ways throughout my life as to how women harmonize with one another, very differently from men, even if the men are effeminate or gay. My conclusion is that this is in fact not trivial. Biological men and biological women actually respond socially differently in subtle and nuanced ways. This idea couid be overly essentialized overly generalized but it does not make it a trivial concern. Using this as an example, for me I specifically sought out a male trauma therapist so I felt comfortable as I went through my own grieving and recovery process. This is not to say that women can’t be good therapist for men or vice versa, but it is to say that a client actually may need gender specific therapists. A woman who is a victim of rape, might not feel comfortable with a male therapist or a transgender MTF therapist. Should she have the right to request a biological female therapist whom she feels will serve her better? But also I must add another note. In certain cultures such as India, who have a 3rd gender category, they don’t regard Hijra the same as women, nor do Samoans regard Fa Fa Fina the same as biological women. In ALL cases in anthropology and historically alternative genders were/are considered 3rd, 4th, and 5th categories. The fact that there are other gender categories is often brought up in this discussion but every time there is the omission that they are not categorized the same.

You always hear this "argument" when speaking about trans issues. One thing I want to ask is, what do we do with trans people then? Because they do exist, and always have existed and will keep existing. India and Mexico have recognised third genders for men who identify as women for thousands of years, this isn't some wacky new idea. Do we just drug them to the point of not being able to perceive who they are? I can't help but see that parallels with the gay debate many years ago, "biology doesn't care about your 'feelings', penis and vagina were meant to go together so clearly you are just mentally ill and need saving".

@@tomaskaziukonis2218 I am well aware of the struggle that the gay/lesbian cohort went through for recognition and equality before the law, and I would never begrudge them their achievements. However, things have changed and now lesbians, in particular, are finding themselves vilified and harassed if they won't accept males, identifying as women, as romantic/sexual partners! Sexual orientation is a real thing, you know. Hence the equality before the law for gay people, yet women who are only sexually attracted to women are being labelled as bigots and 'phobes for refusing advances from males calling themselves women. This is wrong and cruel, and causing a lot of stress (and possibly a cause of young lesbians themselves "identifying" out of womanhood altogether. This is the inherent selfishness of the new trans ideology, riding roughshod over the only recently acquired rights of women. Many types of sports have only (in my lifetime) been expanded to include categories for women, yet within the blink of an eye, now males can participate, in women's sports, ARE already participating in some and, predictably, picking up the prizes. The most recent example I know of was a guy winning an important "women's" golf tournament in the US. This is an example of extra rights. Boys who are at best third rate college athletes in the US, are winning competitions when they switch gender to race against females. Second bite of the cherry? Some UK examples; "Women's Officers" in political parties, these positions are open to self identified (as women) males. Hate speech laws, trans protected but misogyny is fine. If you misgender someone the police will be there like a shot from a gun, but don't expect any action should your house be burgled. Yet we ALL pay for the police, it's certainly quite a substantial chunk of my CT, how about you? Is that an extra right, or perhaps it's a privilege? Pips Bunce, a high up in a London bank, draws his nice big salary to support his wife and children. Twice a week wears a dress to work, won the "Women in Business" award a couple of years ago. Talk about having your cake and eating it... I daresay the Equal Pay Commission is happy with things at the bank, them having a "woman" on the board.

"In my studies of Communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform - but to humiliate; and therefore the less it conforms to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity." - Theodore Dalyrymple

Secondly, I won't have a problem, as long as we respect the centuries of scientific research and the processes of the peer based scientific method. Meaning, if we want academic understanding or verbiage to improve, we need to submit a thesis to be peer reviewed and fairly accepted or refuted accordingly. Reason to protect Scientific Method and Academic Studies: The only reason you can state the claim that our knowledge of neurological and biological intricacies is inconclusive, is because so many unremembered devotees of science spent their entire careers/lives trying to reach for knowledge and build our understanding of nature to the point that we currently find ourselves.

@@mercyferal I don't see why anyone should stop you, or have the right to stop you from transitioning. Government should probably stay out of it, treating it as they claim to treat religion. That idea is fortified by your claimed personal perception of the nature of gender, that it's spiritual. At most, maybe have a process like they did for my room mate when he got a vasectomy procedure: He was 24 (considered young) and therefore was required to take a psych evaluation and a few counseling sessions just to determine he wasn't making a decision he would regret. Concerning permanent surgical procedures. I'm concerned about young people who are full of post-pubescent hormones that flow and change on the drop of a hat, and alter their perception and goals with them. Young folks are highly susceptible to peer pressure and social recognition, especially if they weren't raised in a TV Land family and have regular problems like the rest of us... Either an age restriction or psych evaluation, or both should be required before making such decisions, they're important and may hold more weight/value than first perceived. At least, those are my opinions.

@@mercyferal I did not realize the hormone therapy could have permanent results, is it testosterone that contributes to bone structure? Either way, we need people whom understand the circumstances, and care about the psychological and physiological well-being of the transitioning individual.

Activists in universities are not politicians. They are either students, lecturers or members of outside activist groups ( who generally have specific thing they are trying to influence the politicians, or society generally, regarding a specific issue. They aren't " the elite" because if they were they wouldn't have to try to influence politicians. And I get that people might want to manipulate society so they can get or maintain power, but what is meant by "the solution" ?

Prior to the mid 1950’s Gender and sex were synonyms! Dr John Money, an American Psychologist was working on a study involving what we came to know as “Body Dysmorphia” which amongst his contemporaries had been dismissed as Schizophrenia. He and his team described and defined BD as symptoms which involved, amongst other manifestations, as Gender Identification. Over a period of half a century, particularly with the rise of the Internet, SM and Urban Dictionaries the “Identity” part was dropped. Initially I suspect, for convenience of speech but latterly because it served a particular agenda. The now popular screech of the progressives is that there are innumerable genders. This of course is only true is you use the term “gender identity” in its true sense because of course anyone can identify as a can of slugs if they choose. However, there are only two Genders, despite the hysterical screams of the confused justifying their case on intersex etc.

Python summed it up perfectly 40 years ago- "Stan: I want to be a woman. From now on I want you all to call me Loretta. Reg: What!? Stan: It's my right as a man. Judith: Why do you want to be Loretta, Stan? Stan: I want to have babies. Reg: You want to have babies?!?!?! Stan: It's every man's right to have babies if he wants them. Reg: But you can't have babies. Stan: Don't you oppress me. Reg: I'm not oppressing you, Stan -- you haven't got a womb. Where's the fetus going to gestate? You going to keep it in a box? (Stan starts crying.) Judith: Here! I've got an idea. Suppose you agree that he can't actually have babies, not having a womb, which is nobody's fault, not even the Romans', but that he can have the *right* to have babies. Francis: Good idea, Judith. We shall fight the oppressors for your right to have babies, brother. Sister, sorry. Reg: (pissed) What's the *point*? Francis: What? Reg: What's the point of fighting for his right to have babies, when he can't have babies? Francis: It is symbolic of our struggle against oppression.

All my life I was taught there were male and Female. I sometimes saw men dressed as women - sometimes for comedic effect, sometimes because they felt they wanted (needed) to. I also saw women who dressed and acted as a man although this was less obvious because more and more women began to wear trousers and not apply face make-up. I was never bothered by it - sometimes I thought it was weird, sometimes I thought it eccentric. I never felt threatened nor did I think it threatening to my way of life. I never questioned their right to dress and act as they did - live and let live. Today that has all changed. I do now feel threatened and steer clear of "Trans people" where I can. Today we have governments debating "what is a woman". Totally and utterly stupid. I think the 'trans' community have done themselves a lot of harm. Their actions have removed the "live and let live" ethos, forcing people to take sides and the vast majority will not want grown men entering the ladies toilets/restrooms/safe houses etc. This current ideology reminds me of the children's story "The Emperor's New Clothes". It is both harmful and demeaning. I wonder what would happen if "men trans to women" were refused medical treatment for their prostrates and "trans women to men" were refused treatment for their wombs. Oh, that wouldn't happen they want to both keep and eat their cake.
