Michael says that the worldview he's articulating would be the one that would be obvious to me if I felt that I was in danger. Insofar as I trust that my friends' mini-egregore is seeing something but I don't trust the details, the obvious path forward is to try to do original seeing while leaning into fear—trusting Michael's meta level advice, but not his detailed story. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/notes/memoir_wordcounts.csv b/notes/memoir_wordcounts.csv index e2fa7c0..c317800 100644 --- a/notes/memoir_wordcounts.csv +++ b/notes/memoir_wordcounts.csv @@ -533,4 +533,6 @@ 10/01/2023,120989,0 10/02/2023,121561,572 10/03/2023,121738,177 -10/04/2023,, \ No newline at end of file +10/04/2023,122627,889 +10/05/2023,123572,945 +10/06/2023, \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/notes/notes.txt b/notes/notes.txt index 21ca4ad..3a9bb32 100644 --- a/notes/notes.txt +++ b/notes/notes.txt @@ -3357,3 +3357,5 @@ https://www.tiredtranssexual.com/ https://deathisbad.substack.com/p/my-agp-dudes-it-does-get-better https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2023/10/09/alliance-defending-freedoms-legal-crusade + +> Michael says the thing we call "trans women" are basically males who have been lied to about how sex works and who don't, can't participate in rape culture. As a virgin from the 1987 birth cohort, this resonates. I said, "Comment 171 syndrome." Although ... I have been in bed with a woman a few times, and from there the proximate cause of still-being-a-virgin-afterward was erectile nonperformance due to obligate-AGP. This is likely related to Comment 171 syndrome. Blanchard wrote about "developmental competition" (the balance between allo- and auto- hardening during psycho-sexual development): my analogue in a world where I had known how and why to ethically pursue girls as a teenager would still be in the same taxon, but maybe wouldn't have gone so far down the obligate track. diff --git a/notes/post_ideas.txt b/notes/post_ideas.txt index add9f2b..a3afa93 100644 --- a/notes/post_ideas.txt +++ b/notes/post_ideas.txt @@ -1,4 +1,3 @@ -- Start Over - Fake Deeply - Beyond the Binary -- 2.17.1
