If a tree falls in the forest, and there's no one there to hear it, but there's a tape player recording the event, is there sound? A human hasn't heard it... yet. Is it sound when the tape is played? What if the tape is never played? What if it's played backward? What if the person or persons listening are too drunk to pay attention? Does the mere presence of a human at the time of compression and rarefaction denote sound, or do the audio images have to impinge themselves on a human consciousness?

From Fantastic Women by Annie Woodhouse (a feminist not particularly sympathetic to us):

"Both Raymond and McNeill assert that there is something essential about femininity, and, by implication, masculinity, which cannot be changed. But if it cannot be changed, why do they then assert that transsexuals would do better to fight gender stereotyping?
[...]
"There is a contradiction in Raymond's assessment of transsexualism: medical management upholds patriarchy and the transsexual would do better to fight oppressive gender divisions: but there is some essential component of femaleness and femininity which cannot be constructed surgically or culturally." [p. 80-81]
