If only it was possible to look at  more than one problem at a time.

Of course it is, man. But the juxtaposition of the issue of the day is awesome on her end, and entirely logical.  

Her thoughts, as a lesbian artist, are worth hearing, and for a reason.

I watched one of her porn videos once. It was terrible.

And If she was a lesbian accountant or a straight artist?

And If she was a lesbian accountant or a straight artist?

Um, that was my point. 

I was making sport of identity politics. What if she was a straight Phyllis Schlafly. 

It's Tom Wolfe. 

As soon as you say..."as a [blank]" you're getting into impossible identity politics. 

It was in Mauve Gloves, Mad Men, Clutter and Vine. 

Thanks, man. 

Have a good day, bro. I've been doing this years.

I think there are authentic transgender people who had a genetic issue from the start, but they are a tiny, tiny minority of the population, and medical science is still developing to help these people. But now it’s become a fashion statement, or a mask [for other problems]. People are being induced to think that all their unhappiness -- in family life, in school, in relation to society – is to do with this gender issue. 

Really?  Maybe I'm just not that cosmopolitan and I live in the middle of nowhere, but I never interacted with anyone that saw their situation like she does.  I'm sure she's smarter than me, but calling it a fashion statement is pretty heavy handed.

"people are being induced to think that all their unhappiness is to do with this gender issue" sounds like a Scientology recruitment pitch.

You make me look like a sober & sane person, gb.  Grazie.

Nobody could make you look sober and sane, GB. 

That's a task all undertaken by the Gods.

How many gender reassigment folks have you interacted with in the middle of nowhere?

I wonder what Camille is up to these days...

Getting her own student body to protest her professorship, I guess.
