Dr. Rachel McKinnon / Dr. Veronica Ivy / Rhys McKinnon / Rachel Veronica McKinnon / Foxy Moxy / SportIsARight - failed out of a tenured job,man who competes in womens sports, gained like 100 lbs in 2022 (page 813), comically fell off bike before a race (page 830)

I thought Philosophy's whole (ideal) thing is that they construct well-reasoned, logical arguments.

Rhys obviously believes that TWAW. Furthermore, his life would see material benefit if this were generally accepted. It is in his ethical and personal interest to convince others. So what argument does he pull out?

"If you believe A, then you must also believe B." While B is repeatedly shown to be the least convincing outcome of A with the least broad acceptance, even among those who are generally open to TWAW.

With this argument structure, there are only two options he has presented to his audience: let trans women into women's sports with scant or no restrictions... or abandon any position that trans women are women. He has allowed them no middle ground. No way to step back and consider things and then end up moving in his direction. Because he's never once considered that people could, when presented with this structure, simply go "Well... I guess I don't believe A, then."

Narcs gonna narc.

He ranted about some of his fake troon science earlier today:

But he admits that he's not even going to bother talking about his troon science on The Daily Show:


It's just going to be the typical sperging about "Transwomen are women, bigots!!!"

I can't keep track his spergy arguments. So I know he's been saying for awhile that there are studies that fail to establish that more testosterone means better performance.

The last time I tried to make sense of the study, if I remember correctly, the main problem with it was that all they were studying were elite male athetes. Elite male athletes are already going to have higher testosterone on average, so the range of differences is going to be smaller, usually within the margin of error.

This is stupid and you won't get useful data from it. It'd be like comparing successful entrepreneurs who all started out with loans from their rich parents, and finding that entrepreneur A who got $105k from his daddy, didn't do any better than entrepreneur B who only got $100k from his daddy. And then concluding that those guys didn't have an advantage over another guy who started a hotdog cart with $500 he borrowed from his buddies.

 

[AnOminous]

Rhys pretending that he wasn't drummed out of academia.

Well, that's true. Instead he quit in a fit of butthurt. Had he had the balls (ha) he would have stuck around and forced them to do their full due process thing before firing him, potentially dragging it out for years, and be a troon hero for being "persecuted" for not having the spoons to do his job, while being paid in the meantime.

But no, he couldn't, he didn't, and now he's facing a future of failure.

I thought Philosophy's whole (ideal) thing is that they construct well-reasoned, logical arguments.

That was before postmodernism decided logic and reason are racist, and just spouting whatever nonsensical gibberish comes into your head is as valid as anything Kant ever said.

Well, yeah, because all your other arguments stem from the acceptance of that premise lol

Well yes, Rhys, you can't get people to accept a false premise based on "logic and reasoning" because what you call "logic and reasoning" is actually just screaming a lot and threatening people. There is no "logic" or "data" behind TWAW; it's a religious slogan.

They don't understand that by trying to attach "science" and "reasoning" to an obviously false premise they are not going to get normies to accept that premise, they are just going to get them to mistrust science. Or they do understand, but they don't care, because it serves them personally.

It's just a tautology, "Transwomen are women, therefore transwomen ARE women and should be treated as women in any and all circumstances"

Literally like Christians trying to prove the existence of God by quoting the Bible, or Muslims pointing to the words of the Holy Quran as proof that we should worship Allah. None of it works unless you accept the religion in the first place.

For people who constantly complain about "high school biology" they seem dismally unfamiliar with the idea that hormones have both organizing and activating effects. I remember that being covered in first-year A&P.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organizational-Activational_Hypothesis

Organizational effects are permanent. Testosterone has an organizing effect on a growing body that is not reversed when you cut your balls off as an adult (or even as an adolescent, horrific as that idea is). Rhys is talking about activational effects like those are the only effects that exist, like humans are just hormonal blank slates whose past hormonal exposures have no effect on them. It's so fundamentally unscientific it doesn't hold up to 15 seconds of scrutiny, but he's betting on people being too intimidated to point that out.

Let me round up the haters so trannies can add them to their Monogami Eye or something. Don't say Kiwi Farms never care for you!








About his "educational" material.


On the other hand, Rhys gets invites.


I hope Rhys leaves some time among his busy schedule to get to know the New York natives, as per the suggestion of a fellow she/her.

He may have technically "resigned", but I guarantee you that C of C HR sat him down and laid out the facts: You leave of your own accord, and we won't tell future employers doing background checks that you're ineligible for rehire, didn't meet the standards of the department, and we won't tell anyone about the circumstances of your departure. I'd wager ol' Troony McTroonface still harbored delusions of a glorious academic career at another institution at that point in time, not to mention that he thought he was a lock for the troon advocacy position he was crowing about back then. He wouldn't have wanted a protracted separation for multiple reasons.

Jesus Christ, what a fat fuck. I really hope that they go into his glorious career of cheating women out of victories, because as I said upthread, anyone who was on the fence about the issue is going to take one look at him and ask themselves, "If this fatass is a 'women's world champion' should transwomen be competing against real women in the first place?"

 

[SevenEightNine]

I want to slap the words "robust data" out of that DISGRACED PHILOSOPHY INSTRUCTOR'S mouth so badly...

Guess what Rhys, people who do real research learn about epistemology too. Yours is garbage. Peak the world.

I still suspect the deal was "Leave quietly without making us waste money on lawyers and we won't try to claw back the money you stole from us by going on sabbatical to 'write a book'."

 

[AnOminous]

There is no "logic" or "data" behind TWAW; it's a religious slogan.

The Greeks had a word for it. Hysteron proteron fallacy, essentially assuming the conclusion and stating it as a fact when it is what has yet to be proven.

I try to avoid being a fallacyfag usually, but this is what they used to teach philosophy students, before they just taught them faggotry.

I still suspect the deal was "Leave quietly without making us waste money on lawyers and we won't try to claw back the money you stole from us by going on sabbatical to 'write a book'."

He still fucked up because regardless of the facts, he'd still be portrayed as the victim, because troons are all brave beautiful heroes, never lying swindling sacks of shit.

Also I think Rhys definitely has the overweening hubris to have believed he could just tell them take this tenured job and shove it.

That was probably a part of it too.

If you feel offended, it is solely your fault.

Is Rhys fucking up his grammar deliberately to "talk black" to this weirdo? Like with the g-dropping and "themself"?

Edit: apology for double post.

Exactly. That's perfect. I didn't know about this particular hypothesis.

I was thinking that Rhys seems to act like testosterone is caffeine, with immediate effects, instead of like a vaccine, with long term effects (even when the actual injected material has long since been metabolized).

 

[AirdropShitposts]

Some reviews from the replies on The Daily Show's tweet:

 

[murph]

Trevor wouldn't date you, "Veronica". Like most trans "allies" he's an activist in the streets and a TERF in the sheets. He likes white women with a real pussy.

 

[REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!]

He stuffed his bra! Tits don't do that, faggot.

EDIT: This is the full interview. May it lead to more milk inshallah.

True, and another way of looking at it is timing. Sex hormones have a huge effect on us structurally in the womb and during childhood, and those effects are not reversible (why would they be? We are not sequential hermaphrodites. Why would we develop a mechanism to change sex?). You can turn off the ongoing effects of testosterone, and you can force some minor changes by supplementing with cross-sex hormones (breast growth, maybe a bit of muscle atrophy) but you can't undo what happened when you were growing.

We understand this with a lot of other substances as well: a chemical I'm exposed to might just make me sick, but might permanently deform an unborn baby. High lead exposure sucks for adults but is far more devastating for a growing child. Good nutrition as an adult might keep you healthy but it won't make you grow taller if you were malnourished and stunted growing up. Etc.

The fact that no one except a few Kiwi Farms autists and twitter randoms are calling Rhys on this shows just how much privilege these people have gained in our society. It's like a mullah going on TV in Iran and saying "actually, all viruses are caused by demons" and everyone just nodding along because they don't want to get arrested.

Troony McTroonface going back to the "legally I'm a woman" trope. We can fix that problem right away, you retarded troon. And now he's on the "some women are 6 feet tall therefore men are women". How anyone can take this fucking idiot seriously is beyond me. And you've gotta love his dancing around Will Thomas... "There are no trans OLYMPIC champions!" There would have been if FINA hadn't changed their standards. Of course when that happened he would have just moved the goalposts again, "Well transwomen didn't win all the medals!" And after they did, "Well, there were three non-trans out of a field of 16! It's not like we took ALL of the spots!"

The default position isn't inclusion Rhys, it's that sports were segregated by sex because there are significant biological differences between men and women... You know what? Why bother. We all have been through this before, he's just rehashing the same tired, invalid arguments that he's been trotting out for five years.

Unbelievable that they bring this retard on their show and nobody has the courage to even try pushing back against any of Troony's bullshit.
