Excellent read from @d_kodsi & @johnmaier_. So excellent that it should have ended the debate... but alas, since we're in deeply ideological realms, it wouldn't. An underappreciated point re Skrmetti and the grand Yale Philosophy intervention, IMO: > philosophersmag.com/philosophical-…
"Among those who can overcome the trauma of having the issue raised, one favored gambit is to act as if it is an unreasonable expectation for academics to know whether or not there are male women." Damning, highly entertaining. Well worth your time. philosophersmag.com/philosophical-…

"Trans activists’ central philosophical arguments were always underpowered by ordinary methodological standards ... their popularization was aided and abetted by special pleading, political bullying and plain old cowardice." philosophersmag.com/philosophical-…
Add Daniel Kodsi to the small but intrepid band of philosophers willing to allege in public what most others know but are too afraid to say - that woman=adult human female. philosophersmag.com/unexceptional-…
With a few exceptions -- @Docstockk, @aytchellesse, @byrne_a -- philosophers continue to affect a bizarre neutrality over whether there are male women. Is it any surprise this cues the public into writing off academia generally? Me and @d_kodsi in TPM philosophersmag.com/philosophical-…
“It is embarrassing to discover, in a discipline whose public self-image incorporates a socratic ideal of intellectual fearlessness, a conspicuous absence of truth-tellers.” One of the best essays I’ve read in a long time.
Are we facing a civilisation-ending break in rationality? Or will the best & bravest of the new generation look at their elders and think: We can do better than these cowardly fools? Two brilliant young philosophers write on the beclowning of their field philosophersmag.com/philosophical-…
