More Things In Heaven and Earth: Retooling Our Thinking
Posted October 16, 2008
http://radnichole.wordpress.com/2008/10/16/more-things-in-heaven-and-earth-retooling-our-thinking/A day or two ago, a Canadian blogger posted this piece at The Cracked Crystal Ball II. In her essay MgS opined rather succinctly about some of the more virulent writings of Miss Andrea at Feminazi at Word Press, the links are included in MgS's essay. In the process MgS also lined-up the so-called Blanchard/Bailey HSTS/->-bleeped-<-TS (homosexual transsexual/autogynephilic transsexual) theories in her sights. She, very rightly in my opinion, deconstructed both the radical-feminist and the psychologically-based ideas about transsexuality.
She does not say that the positions taken by those two camps are signs of lazy thinking and an unwillingness to better define their bases to be inclusive of a segment of the population of the planet rather than simply dismissing that segment as being too small and too arcane to be included in our universal explanations for human behavior and human existence. I shall. It seems to me that such a position is exactly the one taken by both the Rad-Fems (beginning with Janice Raymond and Mary Daly and running on to Julie Blindel and to a great extent to Judith Butler) and the Neo-Freudians as represented by Ray Blanchard and his mentor Kurt Freund.
