Re: A view from the Left
"Penis" and "testicles," like "vagina" and "clitoris," are socially constructed concepts for what are essentially clumps of tissue that vary anatomically across a spectrum -- not a binary. Biological sex is a social construct. Those who insist otherwise overwhelmingly do so to prop up their misognyny and transphobia.
I have not been brainwashed. Of course I didn't figure all this out on my own -- as a more or less straight, cis white man from an overwhelmingly privileged background, how could I? I am so thankful to my professors, friends, fellow bloggers, and everyone I've met along the way who has helped me grow into a socially aware person committed to change... and yes, I'm aware that I have a long way to go.
How is my worldview any less valid than yours, when yours came straight out of a preacher's mouth based on his deeply bigoted interpretation of millennia-old books of goatherder folktales?
