Isn't the whole point of an analogy that it provides an easy-to-grasp metaphor for the topic? I'd say that if the analogy you're using needs "some explaining to be done", then you're either using the wrong analogy, or it's based on some mistaken notions.
Serves you right for eating him.
But if the analogy is meant to be easy, why are a minority of trans people accepting of this? It is the material reality that they must face and use this to join with the Marxist-Leninist cause and they will get free healthcare and free medical transition in a socialist state.
However, I would recognize them as the desired person. You see, I am in favor of medical transition so there is recognition.
Who is this "we" of whom you speak?
The "we" of whom I call upon is the materialist. Specifically, dialectical materialist "we".
Perhaps because it's an analogy which does not mirror their lived experience. And, if you go around referring to transgender people as "it", you're stuffed before you even start.
yep , and Spiked! is known for transphobia and pseudo intellectual beard stroking on the topic
and here you are trying to explain why you , a cisgender person with no lived experience , are more correct on the topic than transgender people who have lived experience of Gender Incongruence, Gender Dysphoria and for many social and /or medical transition
you are spot sperm producing gonadal tissue ( i.e. Bollock) on there...
Disagree with homosexuality being "bourgeois" because it's more of a Stalin thing.
Why bother risking waiting? Post-transition transgenders are more happy than pre-transition because they got their affirming care.
only 43 posts before you come out with your true colours ...
Alright. Calm down with the homophobia here. For a hetero like me, it is homophobic to see homosexual people as "bourgeois". There is nothing much idealistic about them. It is the transgender activism that has delved into the hyper-idealism. I don't think being trans is just wearing opposite-gender clothing.
so at best you are a beard stroking tourist and at worse you are a Furedi style 'intellectual' transphobe ...
Ah. So, it does prove for the dialectical materialism. The ideal gender can only be possible through the fulfilling of material conditions. Perhaps we could band together, start a fund, and donate the money to get the trans people into medical transition. That would help a lot in combating the capitalist healthcare system.
There is free health care in Britian right now, and Britain is not a socialist state. As far as I know, people can undego transition under the National Health Service. I assume that you live in the USA.
Furedi gave a lecture at the university I went to. Despite my political and sociological naivete, I thought he was a cunt back then, and nothing I've seen or heard since has persuaded me otherwise.
Nope. I live in the EX-YU area. So, it is good to see that healthcare is indeed free in Britain. This already satisfies the material condition for an ideal gender of trans people to be met through medical transition.
It?
hence the less than easy ride the poster has been getting in addition to some of the other somewhat suspect position they had adopted
What suspect position? Nothing to "suspect" of Marxism-Leninism.
no, your position with regard to the validity of the experience of Transgender People
My position has been prevalent long before I came here on this site. Socialism seeks to understand the trans position by simply making free healthcare and giving free medical transition thereby.
I mean that might have been a better place to start than all this abstract stuff about dialectics and apples maybe.
