When I've dealt with "cultural appropriation," it has tended to be along the lines of white people stealing artwork from native people, then telling them that a bunch of white dudes know more about their culture than they do.

SALT CURES HAM posted:The stuff I'm talking about is when people say things like "learning a new language is cultural appropriation" or "watching movies made by non-white people is cultural appropriation" or "eating at a Chinese restaurant is cultural appropriation." There's sane examples of it, and they're not what I'm talking about. So, they basically don't know anything about the concept but its name? Eh, those of us who've actually been to grad school should team up with actual trans people to publicly laugh at the posers. They're already a laughingstock though, so I'm not sure what else can be done. silence_kit posted:This is just a longer way of saying what I said earlier. The distinction between the "valid" and "invalid" identities is that the "valid" ones are popular and socially acceptable, and the "invalid" ones are not. You think trans people have "popular and socially acceptable" identities? You need a reality check there, buddy. Hodgepodge fucked around with this message at 00:58 on Jun 22, 2014 |

SALT CURES HAM posted:No, they're using the concept as a way to push lefties towards radical right-wing ideas. I imagine they understand it just fine and are just being malicious. Eh, if anything, it reminds me of right-wing Christians trying to apply the Laws of Thermodynamics to evolution.

Blue Star posted:Is it possible that someone can think that they're trans, but actually aren't? What if someone believes themselves to be trans, gets their brain looked at, and is told "Hmmmm. Your brain looks typical for your sex and birth gender." Does that mean that they cannot get HRT and/or SRS? The context for mentioning MRI results was establishing a scientific basis for gender dysphoria. There are similar results that tend to show up for ADD and other disorders. Why would we demand a more restrictive standard in this case? And why would we repeat an experiment every time we use the results?
