This is the episode that really made me dig into what a massive fucking problem it is that there really is no standard for what gets deemed "feminism" or "feminist". But I'll save my thoughts on that for the episode's public release.

We discuss one of the worst-written books we've had to cover: Judith Butler's "Gender Trouble". It is considered a landmark text of the so-called third wave of feminism, but is it all it's cracked up to be?

I appreciate KS surfacing just how much of this friction and censorship is due to payment processors and I wish more companies would put this stake in the ground rather than screwing over artists. If every company did this, payment processors would have to buckle.

It has also been almost entirely detached from systems of power and inequality and become a way to list petty personal grievances. Which is why you get absurd ideas and constructions like "being taught how to cook by your mom is a privilege third worlders have over Westerners". (Real example.)

Isaac's deconstruction of the 'privilege' framework here is desperately vital because it's no longer used as a tool to name and identify vectors of oppression, but rather a competitive bludgeon through which we assert why others don't have it as bad as we do. It has become anti-solidarity.

Detransition is often used as a cudgel against the transgender community, but most people who detransition actually remain trans supportive. Today on Assigned, @madisyn-writes.bsky.social spoke with three detransitioners who support trans people. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

The response to the conversion therapy video has been amazing. I’ve gotten messages from lots of NHS staff appalled to learn about the present-day abuses, who want to hold senior managers to account. As I say in the video, allowing this abuse undermines the entire NHS! 🏥 youtu.be/_S5w18sjYLk?...

Occasionally I run into trans ppl who are like "gosh sometimes I wish I could transition again. Like if I was assigned a different sex at birth, I would've transitioned too. I would transition again, only that's impossible" and I'm like. C'mon man. Don't make me develop a stare like in The Office

Long waits filled with uncertainty punctuated by pressure to quickly make decisions is an approach that practically engineers regret. It's completely unjustifiable.

Oslo University Hospital claims their long process for gatekeeping trans healthcare is about reducing the risk of regret. In practice, long wait times with a high risk of being denied treatment and appointments on short notice incentivise patients to ignore concerns and just take what's offered

Married straight women with kids are never unhappy or bitter, of course

Since she is professionally associated with neoconservatism, I remained unruffled when Miss Flick told me that though she continued to be grateful for the progress that feminists made in the last 10 years, she had stopped associating herself with feminism about two years ago. She now considers it ''an exclusively radical, separatist, bitter movement.'' I was startled, however, to learn that her mother, who had gone to law school after raising three daughters, was the head of the task force on battered women at the San Diego chapter of the National Organization for Women.

''My feelings about feminism are at least par-tially a reaction to my mother,'' she explained. ''Betty Friedan is right; they're losing the second generation because of this incredible bitterness.'' She went on: ''My abandonment of feminism was a process of intellect. It was also a process of observation. Look around and you'll see some happy women, and then you'll see these bitter, bitter women. The unhappy women are all feminists. You'll find very few happy, enthusiastic, relaxed people who are ardent supporters of feminism. Feminists are really tortured people.''

spicy take but this means we DO need people who are like “yeah I detransitioned after realizing I was actually cis & I *didn’t* keel over/insta-die from being Ruined Forever By HRT, I am not Ruined Forever” to be able to speak up. We need to counter the “irreversible damage” narrative.

Discouraging transition these days isn’t because of a bunch of non-dysphoric posers speaking over the tru trans, but because of the years long immense fear-mongering around the effects of transition.

Begging cis people not to press the button that makes children kill themselves. “But it’s such a pretty button,” they protest, sweat pouring down their face from the effort of not pushing it. “It looks like so much fun to press.” Dead children, we remind them. “...what kind of children?” they ask.
