We can do what we want with our language incl changing the meaning of gender words.
To discuss the consequences tho is not phobic.

If we are to accept that women can have penises then that is a change of word USE. But is it also a change of MEANING? Either: a) yes b) no - it is bringing use into line with real meaning. But b) is just philosophical mysticism & a) needs discussion. #philosophy #terf #gender

If gender is solely given by some internal feeling of gender & is not related in any way to anything external, neither physical nor behavioural, then what the f*ck is dysphoria & why should changing your body or behaviour relieve you of those symptoms? Make it make sense.

Heard this recently on the radio. The question was asked, if Hamas were hiding in Israeli towns, containing Israeli citizens, would the Israeli government think it proportionate to bomb the town killing so many civilians, particularly children? Would the world? #Gaza

#Israel may well damage #Hamas severely, but not the idea of violent resistance. If nothing else changes, if not Hamas, then some other organisation with a commitment to violent resistance, will arise. All this is just 'mowing the grass' albeit down to the scorched earth. #Gaza

In fact, expert consensus is that the NHS does remarkably well with its below-average overall funding, woeful levels of capital investment & excessively low numbers of doctors & hospital beds per capita. None of this is to say we can't do better with the resources we have. 5/

"But we left Gaza” is a commonly heard statement in Israel, referring to the situation since 2005’s “disengagement”, during which Israel withdrew its military forces and settlements from the Strip. “We dismantled settlements, took our forces out, and let Gaza become Singapore.”🧵

Remarkable. An Israeli TV host & his 3 Israeli guests discuss, dissect, and debunk some of the awful lies that were told about what happened on Oct 7th (beheaded babies, etc) live on Israeli TV. 👇🏽 Can you imagine a similar discussion on U.S. or UK TV?

1/ I’m an Israeli academic. My community is still too silent about the war in Gaza. Following my viral tweet last month, this is the updated & expanded version of how I see things based on >1000 articles and 1000s of videos/images of the war. 🧵of summary conclusions:
