Trans women’s hair falls into four categories. Hideously neglected, on the way out, dyed a stupid colour or a wig. There is overlap between these, however.
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'm just really thankful my discipline is big on observation, collecting evidence and experimentation. Throwing away past research because some scientist said nigger or had racist beliefs would pretty much stop discoveries from being made, as many basic laws and theories were first laid down by fucking white men, and other scientists disproved, built or improved upon those. As someone in academia it makes me extremely angry.
Then I remember Rhys didn't make it in chemistry and comfort myself in thinking he's an overcompensating brainlet.

not to get too Deep Thoughts on you, but the deep distrust and black and white thinking had an equally good chance of saving people from other genuinely dangerous people for most of human history. it isn't well suited for civilized society, but if all hell broke loose being crazy distrustful of anything that doesn't align with your tribe could be very useful generally. It also helped people deal with the death that was ubiquitous previously, being able to just discard your feelings for people on a flimsy basis could be preferable to being haunted every time someone died horribly. Even in civilized society there is a segment of the population that is too polite and forgiving for their own good, you can see this in a lot of the debates about immigration. Lots of people are so willing to see the gray area in life, so willing to trust strangers, that they would let obviously criminal elements migrate to their neighborhood as to not seem judgmental.

Rhys speaks up for fellow Canadian, pedophile Jonathan Yaniv:
Cow pile up: Dr. McKinnon makes another groundbreaking discovery of the week:
I cannot find the word "confederate" -- not that there is any problem if the terf used this word -- on the screenshot Rhys shows, and I don't have the spoons to register a Spinster account to investigate.
Let's be frank, who doesn't want to kick the shit out of a perverted man in a women's bathroom -- apart from the said pervert man himself?
I almost forgot the "pronouns are rohypnol" bullshit. Thanks Christa for kissing it from its eternal slumber!
LOL who needs roofies anymore when the government mandates you to touch men's dicks?
Using fear as leverage is bad -- but of course not when I do it!
Using fear to turn women against women (or "women") IS VILE, but then using fear to turn women against women is absolutely not a wrong thing to do.
These tweets really show the true color of Christa.
Christa is digging the Spinster site for thought-crimes of Dr. Stock and Dr. Moody. I'll spare you.
Now even laughing at the wrong place will discredit you:

The Problematic Philosopher debate goes on, and Rhys is as sharp as ever:
Bunch of degenerate fapping over degenerate Nippon. Note Rhys use the Slingbladeism "X is trans culture".
Can't disagree with that.

"Trans culture"? I thought he was a scientifically certified woman? If he's always been a woman, then he doesn't need the trans tag?
Or is it more that trans = girldick pervert pass?

So I decided to do a little analysis on Rhys' claim that we can throw out the history of philosophy. Scraping through his "academic" output, I gathered up all the citations from two populations: his "woke" work (anything relating to troonism or "gaslighting" or the like), and his "traditional" work (linguistics, aesthetics, and so on).
What we find is that the good doctor does effectively get away with throwing history out the window - over three-quarters of his citations in the woke corpus are from this century, and nearly half are from this decade. In his more academically rigorous work (that being a relative term), we're still over half from this century and a quarter from this decade.
So when Rhys talks about "ignoring decades of trans scholarship"... well, unless he's referring to the 2010s, he's ignoring them too.
And by the way - one of the citations in his book is to none other than Immanuel Kant, discussing Kant's opinion on the right to lie. Guess he is interesting enough to discuss in philosophical publications!
Incidentally, as the first human ever to read Rhys' citations, I just want to say that there are a lot of embarrassing mistakes in there, like misspelling names, copy/pasting citations from other papers that use different citation formats, etc. Sad!
| Decade | Woke Citations (%) | Traditional Citations (%) |
| Pre-1950 | 1.2 | 1.7 |
| 1950s | 0.6 | 0.0 |
| 1960s | 0.0 | 3.0 |
| 1970s | 3.1 | 6.1 |
| 1980s | 3.7 | 6.5 |
| 1990s | 14.2 | 18.2 |
| 2000s | 32.1 | 36.8 |
| 2010s | 45.1 | 27.7 |
| Total citations | 162 | 231 |

I don't have the full text of his book, but presumably Rhys disagrees with Kant here, because Kant took the extreme stance that you never have the right to lie, even to save someone from being murdered.

Well, I do remember him saying that references weren't worth spending time on formatting properly, and he'd tell grad students not to bother. I guess he practices what he preaches on that!
(That comment made several of us wave a copy of EndNote impatiently in his direction.)

Rhys's dissertation is about how it's okay to lie like a rug, which is no surprise since his whole life is a lie.
the title
Reasonable Assertions: On Norms of Assertion and Why You Don't Need to Know What You're Talking About
it starts
There’s a widespread conviction in the norms of assertion literature that an agent’s asserting something false merits criticism. As Williamson puts it, asserting something false is likened to cheating at the game of assertion. Most writers on the topic have consequently proposed factive norms of assertion – ones on which truth is a necessary condition for the proper performance of an assertion. However, I argue that this view is mistaken.
there is a pdf of the full dissertation at the above link. i've read it. it's a, well, it's what we'd expect from Rhys.

Wow. Rhys doesn't give a shit about grammar or spelling whatsoever. That was some basic grade level shit.
Regardless, basically Rhys' arguement is you don't need to be right, but if you hedge your bets by what he thinks is reasonable guesswork, then that's all you need? Basically, fuck facts, fuck doing ground work and certainly fuck facts if they're in disagreement to your opinion?
Assert what you please, you're never wrong.
Atleast that's what I took from his rambling word salad.
I've read vore fanfict that made more moral sense.

That and that saying something makes it so. The idea that reality is created this way is postmodernist queer theory bollocks. It’s the opposite of what scholarship should be - which is based on observation, reflection, data and analysis.
Hence if you say transwomen are women enough, it becomes true.
If we are going to talk about Nazis, It’s the same technique Goebbels was a fan of, the ‘Big Lie.’

Seriously no one bothered to read this shit; the committee saw a troon and pass out the PhD automatically.
In all fairness, what is meant by "right" is a huge hairball in Epistemology that sustains many a parasitic career, and everyone has her own criteria on which guesswork is "reasonable". Rhys is just another parasite that benefits from this autistic pursuit.

I don't think he's going quite that far in this paper. He just proposes that the "norm of assertion" should be that you have supporting evidence for your statement, in context. Of course "in context" can cover a multitude of possibilities and it really just shifts the burden from arguing over the truth to arguing over the context, if you ask me.
I'm not seeing any endorsements of just making stuff up - on the contrary, in this paper we see a lot of examples of situations where the facts are well-defined and someone gets it objectively wrong, but may have been "justified" in saying what they did for various reasons. He's just saying that there are cases where you're not a capital-L Liar if you make an incorrect statement, not that an incorrect or made-up statement can trump a correct one.

Kant is well aware slavery is against the Categorical Imperative; he allowed it for practical reasons. I don't know what these clown schools teach their little clowns.

Kuhn did not say we should throw away ideas because the instigator was "an asshole", nor did his detailed survey showed any such instance. Indeed the philosophy of science (not Kuhn) makes a clear distinction between "the context of discovery" and "the context of justification", the latter being much much more important in the operation of science. In everyday terms that Rhys would understand, it doesn't matter if the scientist bases his theory on his racist beliefs; it however matters a lot that he (or his followers) examine and gather evidence for the theory without ideological assumptions.
Rhys is an expert in the Philosophy of science:

When there are actual consequences on the line, Rhys is more or less capable of acting professionally. In his thesis and published book, the citations are impeccably formatted (presumably because he paid an editor to fix it up). When he's just vomiting out nonsense for "woke-studies" journals, he half-asses it.
Privilege is being able to get away with this.
