I didn't know that Fitzcarraldo Editions have a podcast (but they do!). Anyway, I highly recommend this conversation between Helen Charman and Jacqueline Rose. For context, the date of publication of the podcast is February 14, but the conversation took place just after South Africa's presentation to the International Court of Justice, January 11, 2024.

Marilyn Monroe said, “If they love you that much without knowing you, they can also hate you the same way.” All idealisation is punishing and sadistic.

JACQUELINE ROSE

Alongside Richard Dawkin's piece, "Why Biological Sex Matters," New Statesman, a left-leaning publication, sought out the alternate view to that of biological reality: that of the biological fantasist.

Jacqueline Rose, a feminist English literary critic - with no qualifications whatsoever in biology - produced a rambling, lead-licking, biology-denying screed with a sub-headline that reads "we should question a mindset that viciously excludes whole groups of people." Death excludes whole groups of people from life. Is the differentiation between live people and dead people the next frontier in social justice activism?

A piece which echoes insane and scientifically ignorant Gender Studies mythology, while of course somehow managing to squeeze race into the mix. Because intersectionality.

They never quote scientists, only other Gender Studies fantasists. Chu is a man who transitioned due to, in his own words, "sissy porn":

"I transitioned for gossip and compliments, lipstick and mascara, for crying at the movies, for being someone’s girlfriend . . . for feeling hot, for getting hit on by butches, for that secret knowledge of which dykes to watch out for, for Daisy Dukes, bikini tops, and all the dresses, and, my god, for the breasts."

This is the authority Rose cites as the justification for the historically, linguistically and scientifically false claim of "female" being a racialized "slave" term.

These people are completely fucking insane. Young Earth Creationists have a better grasp on reality.

Part of the scam is that, as we saw in the Grievance Studies Scandal, they've built an entire edifice of fraudulent scholarship to back up their reality-disconnected delusions.

A reminder: "inclusion" is about having access to that which you are entitled. You are not entitled to be everywhere, or be included in everything.
