Thanks for highlighting that quote, it really brought something home to me.
Not only are people like Miss Blech here extremely transphobic and misogynistic, they are also extremely culturally biased.
*The rapid & extreme forced changes to society, language, & law which obliterate our species organization around our sexual dimorphism
Our societal organization does not equal species organization. There have been many different forms of human society, most of which were destroyed by European, Chinese, and Turkish imperialism, with highly different forms of societal organization. There are about as many different views of gender as there are societies. This has nothing to do with biology, but is entirely about culture and specifically about conformity, and people like Blech either don’t know there are other ways or have decided that ours is the ‘right’ way. I’d say that she’s in the latter camp, but it’s entirely possible that she’s lacking insight and imagination and just can’t conceive that there are other ways of living.
Our culture is something created by us, and our views on gender are part of our culture. It’s not biology. TERFs and other homophobes/transphobes are either unwilling or unable to understand that.
