WHEN PHILOSOPHERS ARE POLITICALLY PROBLEMATIC: “Germaine Greer is right about trans-women.” “In our society, to be a woman is to have arrived there by a certain route: for instance, by having been given a girl’s name, by having been made to wear girl’s clothes, by having been excluded from boys’ activities, by having made certain adaptations to the onset of puberty, and by having been seen and evaluated in specific ways. That is why the social significance of being a penis-free person is different for those who never had a penis than it is for those who use to have one and then cut it off.”

Sounds suspiciously conservative to me.
