MOVING TO THE FRONT FROM FEBRUARY 1, 2019--STILL RELEVANT, ALAS
One of the tactics for shutting down rational discussion of the gender self-ID law in the U.K. is the accusation of "transphobia." Because I've given attention to the important and substantive views of several feminist and gay philosophers writing about this issue--perhaps most prominently, Kathleen Stock (Sussex) (e.g, here and here), but also Leslie Green (Oxford)--I'm now being accused by the usual suspects of "transphobia." (I suspect the additional reason for the smear is that I've also been vigorous in objecting to the harassment and defamation of Professor Stock, including by many philosophy faculty and students.)
In any case, I thought it would help to collect examples of my horrifying "transphobia" such as here and here and here.
ADDENDUM: This new piece in New York Magazine gives a sympathetic and clear account of some of the issues being debated about sex and "gender identity." (It uses the term "TERF," but not dismissively or as an epithet.)
