9 [TERFs complain](https://archive.is/N1kM5) that AGP males body-modding to become facsimiles of women is appropriation. They're obviously correct, but the claim doesn't seem strong enough to override the right to bodily autonomy. The law, in its majestic equality, comes up with a compromise solution: compulsory licensing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compulsory_license)! A small tax is administered on transition services (HRT, FFS, &c.), the proceeds of which are distributed equally amongst all natal females

69 Kolmogorov's Iron Triangle; Or, the Not-Being-a-Worthless-Coward Option (epigraph quote: Raleigh's "The Lie")—(include analogy: the fear that atheism would lead to immortality given that ppl don't have to fear Hell, wouldn't have seemed obviously absurd at the time) — honesty, ability to think, and mainstream credibility. The Kolmogorov option sacrifices a lot of honesty in exchange for mainstream credibility. This might seem like a good trade until you consider that "honesty" and "ability to think" aren't independent (because people are bad at compartmentalization and we need to talk to each other to think together).
