_Seemingly_ hazardous but actually careful and humane thoughts about gender, social science, and epistemology, by a man who aspires to something more. Featuring a special focus on the phenomenon of _autogynephilia_ ("love of oneself as a woman") in males, and the project of reformulating liberal-feminist and queer-theoretic goals for a universe where evolution actually happened, introspection doesn't work, and Bayesian reasoning continues to work even when some of the hypotheses are about people.

This is a pseudonym for branding and market-segmentation purposes, because it seems like it's instrumentally useful for my gender blogging to take place under a different flag than my personal life and other work, but my real name probably isn't that hard to find.
