Speaking of medieval…

Via Kathleen Stock, a seminar at Sussex in 2021.

I find it so fascinating, that substitution of the image for the reality. It’s not a brute physical fact that children are children, no no no no, how crude and philistine would that be? No no, it’s an image, conjured up by evil cruel weird “transphobic activists.” It’s not a brute physical fact that mutilating genitals is mutilating genitals, no no, it’s a paranoid fantasy in the contemporary landscape. Everything is an image and a fantasy, nothing is physical or real – except of course for the obvious unmistakable fact that the trans child is the trans child.
