58:52 “If my arguments are used to discriminate against anyone, then the person who’s doing the discriminating is misunderstanding the argument I’m making.”
“Discrimination” in and of itself is not evil. Some forms of discrimination (i.e. racial) are unjust whereas some forms are just: we NEED to discriminate between males and females in certain contexts (bathrooms, locker rooms, prisons, rape crisis centers, etc) just like we NEED to discriminate between adults and children in certain contexts. Or for that matter, when it comes to issuing diplomas, between students who meet all the requirements for graduation and those who don’t. And as far as dealing with people who violate sexual boundaries, why shouldn’t we discriminate against them?
Yes. We need to be clear in our language that there is wrongful and rightful discrimination. We rightfully discriminate in sex uncertain contexts. Yet at the same time, as it pertains to this issue, we privilege the demands of certain members of each sex over the needs of the opposite sex, which can only be seen as wrongful sex discrimination.
