write interludes to disk

Maybe the "Interlude Numeral" naming convention is not great and I
should just think of actual titles? Where do these fit in to my
publishing schedule?—where would they if I _had_ a publishing schedule
lately.

+
+"Can you believe people are calling my blog transphobic?! _Me!_ That's like calling Christina Hoff Sommers an anti-feminist!"
+
+"Um ... you know, that's _actually_ a pretty good analogy. People like Sommers who _agree_ with a one-sentence literal summary of feminism's goals, like 'women and men should have equal rights', but _disagree_ with seemingly every _other_ belief and instrumental strategy connotationally associated with feminism, and who spend a disproportionate amount of time criticizing central examples of feminists, might reasonably be perceived as anti-feminist, even if they're not literally trying to repeal the 19th Amendment. It's possible to meet the category membership criteria of some simple candidate verbal definition, while not actually being part of that cluster in configuration space along most of the dimensions that people care about and want to use the word to refer to."
+
+"Huh. That argument sounds ... familiar."
+
+"Does it."
+
+"Right, so, I'm pro-trans in the same sense that autogynephilic trans women are women."
+
+"_No!_ I mean, _not helping your case!_"

+"I think that if you crossdress, or if you kink on trans stuff, or you show _any signs_ of egghood, you _need_ to marry someone who is okay with you eventually transitioning. Not because you definitely will transition! But because it is _likely enough_ that you need to _plan_ for it."
+
+"I probably don't actually _disagree_. Keeping promises is very important—
+But in the spirit of [Policy Debates Should No  Appear One-Sided](TODO: linky), I would like to register a note of sadness that we're are effectively thereby saying 'eggs don't deserve love.'"
+
+"Eggs can have love, they just add a constraint."
+
+"Constraint: must own unicorn."
