Understanding Transmisogyny, Part Six: Epistemic Vandalism. How science grades trans people.
By Talia Bhatt.

“It is epistemic vandalism. It is the refusal to consider any knowledge base or testimony or advocacy or opinion that is insufficiently transphobic as valid at all. It is the active and malicious exclusion of even the credible and authoritative if their judgment of us is deemed to be insufficiently harmful. It is the mandating and requirement that only that which actively denies, displaces, and dismisses us is acceptable as knowledge, and everything else is ‘opinion’ or ‘activism’ or, bluntly, hysteria. It is, in short, the collective global and societal gaslighting of an entire category of person, because to consider us as anything less than a tumor to excise or a blight to cure is in and of itself disqualifying. It is a reversal of reality, an inversion of who victim and oppressor are to justify a level of violence and stigmatization and exclusion as to be tantamount to genocide.”

“Spectrum of Desire: Love, Sex, and Gender in the Middle Ages” is a small but potent exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s annex of medieval art, the Cloisters, in Fort Tryon Park on the north end of Manhattan. The curators use art from the 13th to the 16th centuries to muster a set of corollary questions: If God made man and woman, didn’t he/she/it also make angels, who have no gender? What do we make of these celestial androgynes? And if God made woman from man, extracting the feminine Eve from the rib of masculine Adam, what gender were they before the twain were separated?
