I am no fan of Lee, but how can the Chair of a Fire Authority, who has signed off an independent report concluding the authority and its services to be institutionally racist be unable to describe how and why. Did she not imagine this might be the topic of discussion?

Intrigued to know what specifically the Professor has said or written (either academically or more populist) that you feel defines her as a transphobe? Is it her belief in the primacy and potency of biological sex as both concept and material reality?

It is becoming clear that the reason so many Trans activists try to minimise the role of sex and genitals is because they know. They know that for all of their attempts at legal and scientific obfuscation, nothing is more primally clarifying than sex and sexual attraction.

So, to be clear, the way we smash emotionally stifling gender norms is just by adopting the worst sterotypes of the gender norms. Just we step into the opposite gender roles to our sexed body. Got it. Same prison. Same bars. But this shit pretends to be liberation.
