As you start to list properties that the animal lacks to justify eating them, you begin to realize that some humans also lack those properties, yet we don’t eat those humans. Is this logical proof that killing and eating animals for food is immoral? Don’t put away your steak knife just yet.
In Eat Meat… Or Don’t, we examine the moral arguments for and against eating meat with both philosophical and scientific rigor. This book is not about pushing some ideological agenda; it’s ultimately a book about critical thinking.

I looked at the whole comment thread for more context. I noticed two things immediately. First is that, in their previous post, this person defined what a woman is using 3 criteria, then in this post contradicted themselves by saying that someone who doesn't fit those criteria is also a woman. Second thing is that it's also a strawman fallacy argument against the post they're responding to. That post doesn't assert either way whether an intersex person would be classified as a male, female, or something entirely separate. While I think there's an implication that an intersex person would still be male or female, this post argues that an intersex person can only be male or female because there is no other category. As far as the actual content of this post goes, I think it is, at the very least, poorly worded. Starts out with the claim that "intersex people don't exist" but then goes on to acknowledge their existence, but just disagree on how they're classified by some people. They use the word "deformity" to describe intersex conditions, which is definitely reductive as many intersex conditions present themselves in ways that aren't anatomical, or aren't obvious, to the point where a person with these conditions could go their entire lives without realizing that anything is unusual. They also seem to be really focused on the idea that a person whose gender identity doesn't match their anatomical sex can't reproduce in a normal way, while ignoring that some intersex conditions will cause a person to be sterile. Also that cisgender, non-intersex people can also be sterile for a variety of medical reasons. |
