 .@LessWrong has the brains, @Quillette has the courage, social justice has the heart. What heroine or hero among us can unite these three virtues and shepherd us home to a Nice Place to Live??
 
-Shared mass-blocklists might help here? Although that does, unfortunately, put the onus of the trivial inconvenience [TODO linky] on the reader. Not sure what else to suggest (in the face of disagreements on what Tweets constitute "harm"), sorry. [cold sweat]

-Less-harsh rephrasing: passing (and especially passing-for-cis) has a large effect on social outcomes for "deep" structural reasons; more anti-transphobia political activism won't solve this problem (but, e.g., cheaper facial feminization surgery might!)

 There's a sense in which cis is the default—cis (non-trans) bodies are what you get in the absence of exogenous hormone replacement therapy. (There were some permanent effects after my 5-month 2017 HRT experiment, so I'm "less" cis than I would otherwise be in a way??)
 
-Trans people are a sufficiently small minority that I wouldn't be surprised if medical science doesn't yet know what things are due to developmental sex and what to current hormone levels—it would be great to see more research on this! [female scientist emoji]

+Just realized why this kind of bad faith is so common: when dissent is socially punished, but ignorance is tolerated (conditional on continuing education), dissenters have an incentive to pretend (in bad faith) to be slow learners. 1/2

+The naïve 'classical-liberal' response of, "Well, then just don't socially punish dissent, yaaay freeze peach" doesn't solve the problem if you actually DO want to crush dissent (of, e.g., literal Nazis). 2/2
