On Lily Cade & transphobia

Julia Serano on Medium: On Being Explicitly Named in a Violent “Gender Critical” Manifesto

In a subsequent statement to The Guardian, Cade has claimed that “she had only attacked ‘personas’, not people.” But the thing is, I’m not a fucking “persona” — I’m an actual human being. I am a real person who regularly faces anti-trans harassment and abuse, which Cade’s posts both exacerbate and contribute to. And I sure as hell can tell the difference between critiques of my work, writings, and beliefs (which are fair game, even if I disagree with said critiques), and slanderous attempts to smear me, and trans women more generally, as “sexual predators” in tandem with calls to “lynch” and “execute” us.</bloickquote>

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
