“Dress however you please,” the “Harry Potter” author replied on social media. “Call yourself whatever you like. Sleep with any consenting adult who’ll have you. Live your best life in peace and security. But force women out of their jobs for stating that sex is real? #IStandWithMaya #ThisIsNotADrill”
Hmm...
So JK Rowling is a legit feminist?
Can't say I disagree with her.
To add sanity to the transgender debate, pretend an alien species comes across the ruins of our species. They find that some humans have mutilated themselves to resemble the opposite sex and even emulate their behaviors and appearances(secondary sex characteristics). Without proper context, it would seem that the females of our species are highly viewed so much so that the males wished to turned into female simulacrums. To a lesser extent, some of the females wished to be made into male simulacrums.
This would confound and confuse the alien species, for sure. But it would be within biological behavior seen among binary sex species across the universe. We can see these same things happening in multiple species across the planet earth. So this wouldn't be entirely new behavior to this alien species.
I say all that to say this in this thought experiment: if they could gain an understanding of our language and saw cases like Maya's, they'd wonder why humans are so batshit insane. "It's clearly a biological male. Why this conflict over the fact it is a male? No wonder the humans are extinct: facts became irrelevant and dominating social structures with complex social interactions and manipulation were the most important to them. Why didn't they just create biomass manipulation machines to invalidate the point of binary sex? Just remake your body into whatever you want: binary sex doesn't matter at that point because you can fabricate the body into whatever organism you want."
