In this video, I describe the gender debate in terms of ontology, grammar, and incommensurability.
This is part of a series of use cases that demonstrate the mechanics of my essay, 'Grammatical Failure: Why Liberal Epistemology Cannot Diagnose Indoctrination' (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18521457).

Since I'm technically enby, being intersex makes me cis. I don't make the gender rules, I just mock them when they fail hilariously. 😋

Since the 1990s, scientists have known that chemical pollution causes frogs to be sex-reversed or intersex and believed that this is inherently harmful. But in 2019, environmental scientist Max Lambert and Melina Packer, a social scientist, collaborated on investigating the subject through a queer feminist lens, challenging assumptions about masculine and feminine behaviors and the "wrongness" of supposedly "feminized" males. In an extract from a new book, "Feminism in the Wild," reproduced in MIT's The Reader, Packer and her co-author Ambika Kamath explain how this approach led to new discoveries.
"Now, what's really interesting is that in your chapter "Seduction and the Ruses of Power," you not only explain how the positionality of black women and white women differs, but you also suggest how blackness disarticulates the notion of consent, if we are to think of that notion as universal. You write: "[B]eing forced to submit to the will of the master in all things defines the predicament of slavery". In other words, the female slave is a possessed, accumulated, and fungible object, which is to say that she is ontologically different than a white woman who may, as a house servant or indentured laborer, be a subordinated subject. You go on to say, "The opportunity for nonconsent [as regards, in this case, sex] is required to establish consent, for consent is meaningless if refusal is not an option ....Consent is unseemly in a context in which the very notion of subjectivity is predicated upon the negation of will".

"We cannot sacrifice the future of science to save our egos today. We must accept the logical conclusions of our theories, and discard them as necessary."
Make #GenderTheory Great Again - without that other slogan.
Is #GenderTheory too complicated for its own good? It's time we #KillOurDarlings, question our theories, and move forward, just like #TheoreticalPhysics must do to escape #QuantumMechanics.
