Paglia says
her feminism is the result of her "childhood experience as a fractious
rebel against the suffocating conformism of the 1950s." She said that
universities and the mainstream media are the new centers of conformism
that are "patrolled by well-meaning but ruthless thought police." Paglia said in the video that she is concerned by the "popularity" and "availability" of sex reassignment surgeries.
"Parents are now encouraged to subject the child to procedures that I
think are a form of child abuse," she said. These include "hormones to
slow puberty" and "actual surgical manipulations" of children and
teenagers.
"I think that this is wrong," she said. "People should wait until
they're of an informed age of consent. Parents should not be doing this
to their children. And I think that even in the teenage years it's too
soon to be making this leap. People change, people grow, and people
adapt."
Paglia said she suffered "gender dysfunction" as a child, dressing in men's clothing "as often as I could."
"But I still believe that there are fundamentally two sexes that are
biologically determined," said Paglia. She wrote her dissertation on
androgyny.
Reproductive biology is clear that there are only two sexes, Paglia
said, and only a "very small," "minute" number of people are born with
genetic abnormalities that make their "gender...ambiguous." It seems she
is referring to hermaphrodites.
On another occasion, she called the subjection of children to puberty blockers "a criminal violation of human rights." (Read more.)
