18 * EGS (and the tragedy of masc/fem forms)
19 * stress fracture vs. sprain: psychology is more complicated, but the basic moral holds
20 * "I don't care" "It sounds like you do care"
21 * if my only choices of reading material are radfems who think I'm awful and trans activists who think I DON'T EXIST (!?!?!!?!), I actually feel better about the radfems
22 * people colluding to maintain a thin layer of social constructions; lies to cis people

26 * not needing permission from another person
27 * people like me being incentivized to identify as part of a political pressure group that attempts to leverage claims of victimhood into claims on power
28 * activity group selecting on trait also selects for inessential weirdnesses of group membership; this is a functional reason for "women in tech" that gets destroyed
29 * It's not a gender identity; it's a sexual orientation that's surprisingly easy to misinterpret as a gender identity
