What credentials does Sam he/him have? What credentials are there? What is the body of specialized knowledge that qualifies people to talk about the alphabet people?
I guess he/him self identifies as being credentialled, and thus able to prononce lofty judgements on others he/him deem as lacking.
Sam might well ask those on “his” side what qualifies all those men who think they’re women to claim to speak on behalf of (or more likely against) the interests of women?
What is Sam (he/him) responding to that caused he/him to make this pronouncement?
What “credentials” does anyone need to be able to speak or write about, not just alphabet soup people, but female people (formerly known as women), as well? How does he/him know this? At least Prof Sullivan is a woman. She would therefore know from personal experience how alphabet soup people affect women and women’s rights.
How does he/him know that Prof Sullivan is homophobic? What’s he/him’s evidence for that?
How does he/him know that Prof Sullivan has been “hired” by anyone to speak about the clash between women’s rights and gender ideology? How does he know that it’s only “the far right” that knows sex is real and that sex matters? What makes the literal biological factual truth into “far right propaganda”? He/him is pulling a very typical DARVO. He/him has got the nuttery and propaganda, not to mention the “expertise,”* on the wrong side.
* As if anyone can have “credentials” or “expertise” about a counter-factual fantasy that exists only inside people’s heads. It’s unfalsifiable. It’s unexaminable. You not only have to take someone’s uninvestigable word for it, you also have to take their word for it that they even mean what they say. It’s like hearsay upon hearsay. It’s meta-unfalsifisble, meta-unexaminable, meta-uninvestigable claims about their claims. Who could possibly have “credentials” or “expertise” to examine that? What we can have knowledge about is reality. That’s open to anyone to look at, and to see whether what anyone says accords with it or not.
Here’s where the forced teaming pays off. Because Prof. Sullivan is pushing back against “T’, the NATO-like “An attack on one is an attack on all” benefit of glomming onto LGB comes into play. Sam gets to claim that she is homophobic without having to offer any evidence as all.
So, “Not even wrong” territory. Both astrology and “crystal” woo are at least falsifiable. Imagine coming in third in that race!
“Remember, @ProfAliceS has no credentials that qualify her to comment about alphabet people.”
But what’s the bet Sam He Him holds forth aplenty on biology, the gender critical approach, politics…
…
…Yep, found it.
