@randomlyscrewed @Cartophiliast Whatever happened with that? — PolitiTweet.org

@ToreeBlack @and_furiouser No I said most people do misunderstand and that they do is understandable. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ToreeBlack @and_furiouser Again, saying "what it means" is confusing given the fact that it is used even within academia *to mean very different things.* — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ToreeBlack @and_furiouser If a given use clearly defined what they mean by whiteness I agree that we should look to that definition in the conversation rather than willfully misunderstanding it, but more often than not it is not clearly defined. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ToreeBlack @and_furiouser I don't have an aggressive misunderstanding of the term. I've just drilled down on what different people use to mean enough to see that there's enough variance to make misunderstanding common and uncertainty the rational response to seeing it — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ToreeBlack @and_furiouser Apples and oranges both have well-defined fixed meanings that almost everyone understands. People who use the word "whiteness" often mean very different things from one another without realizing it, there is no one agreed upon definition, & most people are confused when seeing it — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ToreeBlack @and_furiouser If you make claims about "whiteness" or "blackness" or "Asianness" most listeners will understandably believe you to be saying something about white people or black people or Asian people. — PolitiTweet.org

@arbut15 @DuncanHenry8 I see the case for diversifying golf. Hockey not so much. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@arbut15 @DuncanHenry8 Hockey is relatively expensive and relatively dangerous and comes with comparatively few college scholarship opportunities. Anyone who wants to play should but what's the value add of shifting more young people of color into hockey and out of the sports they'd play otherwise? — PolitiTweet.org

The NHL should ensure that neither the league nor its teams discriminate in recruitmement, hiring or promotion. Should it otherwise care (as police agencies, IMHO should) about the racial demographics of its staffers? Why or why not? — PolitiTweet.org

L.A. city council coverage has focused a lot on racial representation. Meanwhile, a majority of Angelenos are renters, while the number of renters on the City Council is zero. Almost no one notices or talks about it. Are we focused too much on race? https://t.co/HSvDXZbizH — PolitiTweet.org

@justinchend What does his book, which I very much enjoyed, have to do with the Pentagon's mission? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
1. I'm not sure why there is a Pentagon official making nonfiction book recommendations. 2. That book is thoughtfully written and the passage noted is not as an argument, but a description of how the author felt when young, offered to describe his bygone state of mind. — PolitiTweet.org

@ijbailey @IonaItalia I think we agree that trans people should never be demonized as unique threats (and indeed are not unique threats at all) and have different perceptions of the prevalence of that position in this ongoing debate. With that I have to go to bed. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey @IonaItalia I think *use whatever bathroom you want* probably works best in most places, and also that *showers will be sex segregated* probably works best in most places, and that no one rule works best in all spaces. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey @IonaItalia Sure, I agree that's happened. I am not arguing for any position, I am clarifying what the different positions are and which ones you hold. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey @IonaItalia Okay. If there was one with the policy I described would that upset you or would it be okay if it made the women there feel more safe or comfortable? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey @IonaItalia I personally don't care if we have gender segregated everything or German style coed naked saunas or anything in between, but many people feel that, say, showers at the gym are "a unique space by their nature," so that locution doesn't clarify much — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey @IonaItalia Put another way, neither you nor I pose a threat to a battered women's shelter, but I bet we both understand if there's one that declines to release its address to any males including us. I at least do not take offense at that precaution that treats me as a potential threat. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey @IonaItalia Well you seem to be okay with treating all biological males as an equal potential threat for purposes of prisons, so I'm a bit confused. (We agree that in fact different biological men pose wildly varying degrees of threats.) — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey @IonaItalia I also think some people invoke safety when their bigger concern is actually comfort, that is, they are uncomfortable being undressed in front of members of the opposite sex, regardless of whether they feel unsafe — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@ijbailey @IonaItalia no one thinks there are spaces where cis men should be included but trans women excluded, as would be the case if the driving belief was "unique threat." I think people disagree about whether sex or gender should govern a given space as traditionally it's a mashup in some spaces — PolitiTweet.org
