Week 8 In Review - Vaush (and others) calling Žižek transphobic + FTKNWTD course launches

Žižek got cancelled for "transphobia" when in fact he is centering real concerns that have become politically incorrect. This happened the same week that the FTKNWTD course launched! This week in review starts with a clip of the Week 1 lecture followed by a conversation with Ann, Swol, and Andrew about real transphobia vs. legitimate concerns about the medicalization of therapism and ego psychology. This is controversial, but it needed to be said.

If you cannot keep up with the forums week to week, and you did not get a chance to watch or listen to whatever Theory Underground has put out recently, then these weekly streams are meant to keep you in the loop.

Welcome to the Theory Underground.
Theory Underground aims to make challenging philosophical and theoretical work accessible, not by summarizing, but by aiding those who seek to engage in this work as a way of life.

Do you have questions, comments, or something to share that would be better off on the community site? Join the public forum here: https://theory-underground.com/forums/forum/main/
If you take a course or join a discussion, there will be a group with dedicated forums on the website. Because fuck Discord. We want to honor quality questions, not bury them. We want to honor people who actually read as opposed to staying glued to their phones all day, so we aren't going to become reliant on a "community" app that is so attention-demanding.

Forums give people time to think and come back later to ask questions or add to discussions.
