I really wish philosophers would stop using a half baked understanding of trans folk as an intellectual plaything.

- joe5150 10y agoI really feel like Zizek must be aware of the fact that practically all of the social, ontological, etc. issues he brings up about transgenderism have been discussed and debated within and outside of academia for many years, and he just doesn't care and doesn't believe his opinions need to be informed by any of it.
- duaneb 10y agoI recommend all people interested in philosophy engage in it, but go to classes for critical theory. This is where most of the interesting philosophy of the last 50 years has taken place, including the entirety of queer theory. His view is so backwards from where the jargon he uses comes from I wonder if european philosophers are even aware of the field of queer theory.
