One of the ways you can tell Paley's position is not worth deeper intellectual consideration is the number of outright contradictions in it.
"If it has a penis it's a man" but trans women who have had bottom surgery are also still men. Biology defines gender but also womanhood is in crisis because "our connection to ancient goddess worship is completely broken" and trans activism is "a continuation of the erasure of the Goddess." Transition is a form of colonization but also the Age of Reason produced the only coherent conception of gender. Trans activists are forcing queer cis men to get bottom surgery, but the problem with trans women is that they don't get enough surgery like they did in the good old days. The writing is to sexual freedom and gender studies what a Gish Gallop is to evolution.
- wzdd 5y ago> outright contradictions I don't know Nina Paley's stance on this beyond your paraphrase, but your first statement (at least) is not a logical contradiction. It is equivalent to (for all) x, penis(x) -> male(x); (there exists) x (such that) !penis(x) -> male(x). I didn't examine the other statements.
