Alex Byrne: "Are Women Human Females?"

Apparently there was a huge dust about this paper, in which Byrne argues for a proposition that every human being not blinded by leftist propaganda knows to be true. Women are adult human females is now, as you know, thoughtcrime. 

   I haven't read much about the dust-up, as I avoid depressing tales of philosophy's decline, but it's clear that the favorite argument of philosophical "trans"-ideologues makes an appearance: (1) philosophical arguments in favor of "trans" ideology are sooooo complicated that no one but a super-duper expert on feminist philosophy can possibly understand them, and, (2) if you reject "trans" ideology, then you don't understand them. So (3) Byrne doesn't understand them, and (4) the "stakes are so high" at this "moment" of something something pro-"trans" policy revolution that (5) only someone with nefarious motives could possibly "insert himself" into such a debate while being so woefully ignorant of the super-duper technical technicalities of the super-duper technical arguments. Also, (6) "women are adult human females" is something that non-progressives say, and (7) all non-progressives are Nazis, so (8) Byrne is a Nazi with nefarious motives. QED.

   Philosophy beclowns itself apace.
