"The logician W.V.O. Quine argued that beliefs exist in holistic webs: each belief is interconnected and mutually supported by lots of others. If you reject one, you normally have to make adjustments elsewhere. Faced with a new, apparently confounding piece of evidence — say, the sight of a friend in London, who you believe to be in Dundee — you are more likely to update beliefs near the periphery of your web (“she is not in Dundee”; or “I mistook someone else for her”) than its centre (“people can be in two places at once”).
Still, it is always possible to work from the centre outward. Genderists in philosophy parachuted “transwomen are women” into the middle of their webs, defined a “woman” as anyone who said they were, and renamed the ensuing epistemological anarchy “progress”. And they were perfectly open about it. In 2020, for instance, Sally Haslanger, the Ford Professor of Philosophy in the department of linguistics and philosophy at MIT, told an interviewer: “if we wanted to include trans women among women, the body wasn’t sufficient… the pressure was to find a conception of woman that would enable us to accommodate all these differences”.
Once in the semantic upside down, there was a lot of profitable work for these web-spinners to do: not just to re-theorise every human idea and practice formerly conceived of as sex-based; but also to build up a satisfyingly dark story about the women and men who would not comply. Haslanger became a fan of authoring open letters, and other heroines in philosophy rose to the occasion too. “I hesitate to attach the label feminist to any view that is committed to worsening the situation of some of the most marginalized women,” wrote Jennifer Saul, a senior philosopher of language at the University of Waterloo, putting a typically charitable gloss on dissenters’ attitudes to trans-identified males. “No one really wants a mercy fuck, and certainly not from a racist or a transphobe,” wrote the Chichele Professor of Social and Political Theory at All Souls, Isaiah Berlin… only joking, I mean Amia Srinivasan, reframing erotic attraction toward a single sex as ethically problematic, whether hetero or homo."

Pag eee tad ja man tipa romantiskā ziņā patīk tikai sievietes tad tas ir ētiski problemātiski?
Bet protams, ja kārtīgi paurbina degunu, stabila preference kļūst ļoti 'problemātiska'
Fragments no raksta uz kuru ir atsauce:
The difficulties I have been discussing are currently posed in the most vexed form within feminism by the experience of trans women. Trans women often face sexual exclusion from lesbian cis women who at the same time claim to take them seriously as women. This phenomenon was named the ‘cotton ceiling’ [..]
The phenomenon is real, but, as many trans women have noted, the phrase itself is unfortunate. While the ‘glass ceiling’ implies the violation of a woman’s right to advance on the basis of her work, the ‘cotton ceiling’ describes a lack of access to what no one is obligated to give [..]
Yet simply to say to a trans woman, or a disabled woman, or an Asian man, ‘No one is required to have sex with you,’ is to skate over something crucial. There is no entitlement to sex, and everyone is entitled to want what they want, but personal preferences – no dicks, no fems, no fats, no blacks, no arabs, no rice no spice, masc-for-masc – are never just personal.
Tātad, ja tevi romantiski interesē tikai sievietes, tas nozīmē no dicks - kāpēc tu esi tik 'apsēsts ar ğenitālijām'? Ja no blacks - nu tad tu vienk esi 'rasists' etc.
Un ja man piemēram interesē tikai gudras sievietes tad es vispār esmu ar dubultu fobiju?
[# sajutos maniaks]
Īsti laikam ne, jo, ja tev šķiet pievilcīgs cilvēkos intelekts, tad tu esi sapiosexual, which is fine and dandy, vismaz pagaidām, tikai tā 'women only' daļa ir prolemātiska.
Tātad ja es pareizi saprotu situāciju, tad viņu skatījumā problēma ir apmēram sekojoša [situācijas piemērs]: Es esmu ļoti jauka persona, daudzi atzīst ka es esmu ļoti jauka persona bet neviens negrib ar mani pārgulēt, jo es esmu piecmetrīgs trīskājains citplanētiešu robots. Rezultātā ir apspiestas piecmetrīgu trīskājainu citplanētiešu robotu tiesības un viņi ir upuri un tiek diskriminēti.
Un ir vajadzīgi aktīvisti un NVO kuri kaunina visu pārējo publiku par nevēlēšanos pārgulēt ar piecmetrīgiem trīskājainiem citplanētiešu robotiem. | |
