-So, while I realize that a lot of people have strong feelings about this topic, and I wanted to be sensitive to that, I also want to promote this information, because I want people to have accurate information about the underlying psychological condition, so they can make the best choices about what to do about it, whereas people might make poorer choices in a regime where everyone had to figure things out for themselves in an environment full of misinformation about "gender identity."

+Let me tell you about the moment I stopped wanting to be sensitive—the moment of liberating clarity when I resolved the tension between being a good person and the attendant requirement to pretend to be stupid by deciding not to be a good person anymore.

He said that I would have a generally better model of the world if I assumed that autogynephilia is not a real thing that has tangible effects.
