Controversy dating interracial

Some said that Tuvel’s article harmed them, and I was doing violence to them, even triggering PTSD, just by calling for an open discussion of, and debate over, the arguments in the article.While I readily agree that words can do harm and that hate speech exists, my call for philosophical engagement with Tuvel’s article does not constitute harmful speech.

Tuvel argued in favor of both transgender and transracial identities, as well as for a more fluid conception of identity more generally.I summoned up the courage and entered the fray suggesting only that invite critical responses to the article.This suggestion was met with ridicule and derision.Some scholars associated with the journal posted condemnations of the article and issued apologies for it.Eventually, a group of associate editors, spearheaded by Cressida Heyes, whose work is criticized in the article, published an official condemnation of the piece indicating that the journal had made a mistake in publishing it, which of course, just makes the journal look bad.
