So many particulars. So many questions.
in the funhouse mirror version you have these wankers ruining the years highest sci fi novel awards by rigging the slate system to combat 'positive discrimination' because someone without a nob wrote some good sci fi. Crying over mad max *gasp* having a female in it and so on.
Still. At least these goldsmith intersectional nobs have yet to reach the depths of rape threats and real life stalking so we can't really compare.

didn't ruin my sci fi reading schedule did it?

Messy Crimbobs, fellow humans.
Anyway, on a serious note, this sort of thing is not identity politics. It's plastic sectarianism.

Don't knock plastic sectarianism. It makes recycling easier.
No. I dont give a shit about Bahar Mustafa. I do care about some people's response to her nonsense on here, which has been a bit dodgy. No intersectionalism involved.

It shouldn't be hard to counter the ridiculous and divisive antics of Bahar Mustafa and her ilk with a sensible acknowledgement that there are varying types and degrees of minorities, exclusion and oppression - without a descent into opposing ridiculousness and divisiveness.
Why use the word 'cis' if it's got nothing to do with privilege politics?
cesare

Cis is just a word/shorthand to describe what isn't trans*. In itself it's no more privilege politics than "straight" is. It's pointless rejecting a useful word just because you don't like the context in which it's used by a few students.

I'm referring to the diversity officer. You know, the topic.
Well if it's of any use to you, I haven't met anybody who describes themselves as cis.

Maybe that's because you're not trans. I hear people using it all the time in the same way non gay people describe themselves as 'straight' to gay people.

It's only of any use to me in giving me an understanding of your personal experiences, unless you're suggesting that anything should be extrapolated from those?
Everyone on the thread thinks she's a bellend. What do you think you're arguing about?

a fucking men
thing is- in context looking at things like intersectionality does with that 'check your priv' can be useful. I've said this before. Never really considered it privcheck though, just counting my blessings like the pious man should. The idea of identifying where class/race/economic status and so on intersect is not inherently an evil thing. When urbans biggest fan sam ambreen was on here I saw the opposite of a useful analytic tool.
its just clowns ruining things again.
What did you think you were arguing about?
You wouldn't be able to understand my personal experiences without me giving myself a bunch of labels?
cesare

That's not what I said. What I said was that (to paraphrase) your personal experience of never having met anyone that describes themselves as "Cis" is only useful to me as an indication of your personal experiences, not whether or not "Cis" is useful as a term.
Ah right. I'll store it in the memory bank should it be needed. Perhaps when Im auto banned from some space or another.
Sea Star

Think yourself lucky - I don't have to reach far into my memory when someone tries to exclude me from a space for being trans.
Because something has never happened it never can? Tbh I've only become aware of this stuff relatively recently.
