Elegant article but something doesn’t feel right. I’ll have to mull it over. There seems to be a simpler explanation.
The argumentum ad archaeum is fascinating, since (aside from being nonsensical) the claim that Greek gods are sources of sexual archetypes, we should be careful with the bestiality, as well as father daughter and sister brother incest.
I think they sum up their argument perfectly using the Greek Gods. There’s is a belief system that’s religious, the only way to find “evidence” of your religion is by gathering evidence from other supernatural belief systems. Which proves, nothing more than people will believe in any old shit if they are dumb enough. At least the parables of the Gods has moral underpinnings. Something severely lacking in the Trans-Religion
I'm very late commenting on this, but this is the first time I've ever heard that FTMs had any role at all in how this developed, much less a role this big. This is an important filling out of the history. Everything I've read everywhere else makes it seem like this has been 100% MTF advocacy and 100% MTF billionaire money. Perhaps you've addressed this somewhere else and I missed it (if so, I apologize), but what would you say the FTM vs MTF activist ratio has been?
I wouldn't guess numbers. For now I just want people to realize women fought for the cause in the 90s too, they had impact, and their tactics were dishonorable.

I'm betting that having sex with your brother is also, somehow, evidence of transsexual inclinations.
The origin-of-the-universe sex act, autofellatio, is also... somehow trans, or something. I gave a 90-minute art history lecture on it at a leather sex weekend in LA some time back. Evolved from the Book of the Dead of Henawatty, https://media.britishmuseum.org/media/Repository/Documents/2014_11/4_14/4426c709_7eed_474e_9e3c_a3d900eee871/mid_01162559_001.jpg
Into ourobouros. Self generating universes... Gödel, Escher, Bach... and modern porn.
it was a fun session. Marred only by the presence of the Sam Brinton.

Who is... something.

Couldn’t love your work more. Inject it into my veins. Did you ever come across the gender identity project in New York? A young Laverne cox appeared in a promo video for the project. Some details here: https://transreads.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/2019-03-17_5c8d91e72ad38_david-valentine-imagining-transgender-an-ethnography-of-a-category.pdf
You may be familiar with it already. It’s intriguing.
Thank you! I haven't run across GIP. What's Cox's deal, anyway? I loved Orange Is the New Black back when I was innocent.
