Sex and Gender - A Beginner's Guide (sexandgenderintro.com)
- Written by Rebecca Reilly-Cooper, feminist and philosopher.
- By Rebecca Reilly-Cooper.
- This essay opened my eyes to the way that we're exploited inside the home. Highly recommended.
An Open Letter to the Guy on Twitter Who Wonders if Biological Sex is Real
- (Note: essay written by a man addressing other men.) I really enjoy this one; I don't know that it is written necessarily to change minds, but I find it cathartic to read.
- An essay on the harms of using the term "cisgender."
“I am a butch lesbian. I live with gender dysphoria. I do not believe my deep discomfort with my female body means that I should take steps to change it.”
Victoria Smith's pieces for The Critic
A few of my favorites:
- The new medical misogyny - Female people are not small male people who lack penises
- The hidden cost of pronoun politeness - Using untruthful pronouns is not the same as complimenting a bad haircut
- Here come the new gender stereotypes, same as the old gender stereotypes
- Self-ID and unprincipled exceptions - Why do we forget new gender norms when it's convenient?
- Transing Joan
- Sex denialism helps nobody - Who is responsible for the backlash against women's and LGBT rights?
