@scottcarnold Interestingly, if memory serves, Jean D'Arc's way of handling her gender non-conformity was simply to call herself "The Maid." — PolitiTweet.org
Russian Embassy in USA @benjaminwittes
@scottcarnold My point is that the issue is not new. And the only solution that works is just to acknowledge that it actually just is what it is.... — PolitiTweet.org

@scottcarnold Or what about the greatest English language novelist of the 19th Century, George Elliot, who only wore men's clothes and society just--lived with it? Do you think that Elliot would have said, yup, biologically female; that's the end of the conversation. — PolitiTweet.org
Russian Embassy in USA @benjaminwittes
@scottcarnold Consider, for example, Jean D'Arc, who as a 17-year-old led an army and radically degendered herself. She is the national hero of France. Do you think for a second she wouldn't have had a complicated relationship with "woman" had she had the vocabulary to do so? — PolitiTweet.org
Russian Embassy in USA @benjaminwittes
@scottcarnold And once you accept option three, it follows very naturally that there is a legitimate social space for those people for whose realities lie outside of the overlap. And by the way, society has *always* created space for such people when it wanted to. — PolitiTweet.org
Russian Embassy in USA @benjaminwittes
@scottcarnold fight with reality. Or (third option) you can just accept that the concept of "woman" is a social one that overlaps mostly but not completely with the biological concept of female--and, by the way, that the concept of "femininity" exists on a distinct set of axes. — PolitiTweet.org
Russian Embassy in USA @benjaminwittes
@scottcarnold You can willfully conflate the concept of womanhood with the concept of biological femaleness or, worse yet, with the presence of female biological morphology (breasts, a vagina, a uterus, etc...) and make a kind of ideology out of it. This seems to me like picking a needless — PolitiTweet.org
Russian Embassy in USA @benjaminwittes
@scottcarnold So you have three choices, in my view. You can kid yourself and pretend it doesn't really happen. Well, that works until you learn that the guy you've practiced martial arts with for years is trans or until you have a trans kid. (These things happened to me around the same time) — PolitiTweet.org
Russian Embassy in USA @benjaminwittes
@scottcarnold XX or XY chromosomal structures. So you have both chromosomal variations and a fairly wide range of morphological variation. And then you have behavioral variation. Eventually, one just has to accept that biology doesn't really answer the social question. — PolitiTweet.org
Russian Embassy in USA @benjaminwittes
@scottcarnold that defied their syntactic categories. Now leave aside whether that was a good or bad thing to do. It's an objective illustration that the category "woman" is not inherent in the biology. By the way, it is also the case that a fair number of people are born without either — PolitiTweet.org
Russian Embassy in USA @benjaminwittes
@scottcarnold simply. There are, after all, intersex people--that is, people born with physical attributes of both genders. In many societies, doctors have made decisions about these people as babies and surgically "defined" them. That is, they created "men" and "woman" out of bodies — PolitiTweet.org
Russian Embassy in USA @benjaminwittes
@scottcarnold I have never met a trans person who knows anything about human biology who wouldn't say that a person with an XX chromosome is female biologically. That's just science. But to say someone is a "woman" is not a biological statement at all. This point can be demonstrated rather — PolitiTweet.org

It's actually a fun reality to live with. Every time you think you have sounded the depth of lived human experience and identity, you find that you have barely scratched its surface. — PolitiTweet.org

As I was saying, the world of actual human experience is so much more gloriously expansive than our pale syntactic categories for it. It's not actually a hard reality to live with. — PolitiTweet.org

@scottcarnold Tagging the first few Twitter biologists of my acquaintance: @CT_Bergstrom @corvidresearch. Does the word "woman" sound in biology at all? — PolitiTweet.org
Russian Embassy in USA @benjaminwittes
@scottcarnold The concept of "woman" is not a biological concept, though the concept of female is. Don't believe me? Ask a biologist. — PolitiTweet.org
