roseweird do you have strong opinions about this? im genuinely curious but i would also not be surprised if you or anyone else didnt want to talk about it here given the, ah, storied local history

I replied to ur PM but for the purpose of this thread all I'll say is I want to qualify my statements - in practice an admissions policy has to have some way to certify gender beyond the applicant just saying "I'm a woman let me in" or whatever. and so I think it's reasonable for the standard to be legal gender, with all the hurdles that entails. So to clarify I'm saying, women's colleges should accept legally recognised transwomen and reject legally recognised transmen, which is, uh, already the policy by default, right?

this is like saying marxists are also affected by gravity. it doesnt have anything to do with them being materialists
Talk to organizers in grass roots movements, anti death penalty, organic farming, prison reform, housing, and they will almost to a person tell you how bankrupt Academics are, and worse, how totally unhelpful are most Trotskyist movements. A friend once said to me, yes I’m a communist in a party that is labeled Stalinist. When people ask me why, he said, I tell them because its more democratic than the Trotskyist parties.
talk to organizers in those movements in the west and they will almost to a person tell you that they have never once had an opinion on "Trotskyist" anything
