2 Friendship Practices of the Secret-Sharing Plain Speech Valley Squirrels
6 * Faster Than Science (if not super-femme, there must be some other reason ...)
7 * Yes, the Only Real Trans Woman Is a Transitioned Trans Woman (critique of https://medium.com/@jencoates/i-am-a-transwoman-i-am-in-the-closet-i-am-not-coming-out-4c2dd1907e42#.5dlc2qog6)
9 * Don't Negotiate With Terrorist Memeplexes; Or, Why I Don't Care About Your Feelings
10 * Survey of a Crossdreamscape and Why This Is Pretty Obviously Not What Cis Women Feel About Themselves
12 * Blanchard's Dangerous Idea and the Plight of the Lucid Crossdreamer; Or, Could Self-Reports Really Be That Wrong??
13 * High-Dimensional Social Science and the Cluster Concept of Concepts
14 * Stereotypes, Models, and Cognition
15 * Mary's Room (we have calibration to know that we're probably mostly seeing the same colors up to colorblindness and tetrachromacy, but ppl probably don't mean the same thing by "gender dysphoria" or "identity", or "sexual orientation" (ref pseudobisexuality))
16 * The Neglect of Probability Fallacy; Or, You Do Not Have an Intersex Condition
17 * Using a Simple But Flawed Model Is Better Than Pretending Not to Have a Model
18 * Reduce Gender Identities to Gender Goals ("trans" vs. "cis" only makes sense if the gradient between full-transition intervention and no intervention is sufficiently sharp)
21 because personal identity doesn't exist, comparing notes with other people and being able to learn from _their_ mistakes is more useful than just saying "everyone has their own experience"
22 psychological sex differences aren't real, but gender identity is?? always nurture except when politically convenient
23 Falsifiability and What We Expect Not to See (this is important for the Bayes crowd)
24 Bucketing (go through Wikipedia list of trans women, categorize everyone)
26 God, I hope it's just a coincidence that Steven Goldberg gets the fact/value thing right and everyone else gets it wrong
27 horror story about trans activists being pro-porn, &c. indicating how aliens would analyze them as a subtype of males
28 Engineering possibilities (Anne Lawrence identitfy early)
29 rachet effect (http://transblog.grieve-smith.com/the-slippery-slope/) (I can't imagine self with short hair)
33 Gender of the Gaps (you can always propose an essence when people knock down your ludicrous rationalization)
34 Time Travel Isn't Real
35 Lesser-Known Demand Curves
40 70s denialists had it right
47 What's going on with caching behavior??
48 Is everything getting an index page that should?
49 How do I measure traffic?
50 configure server with user
51 configure scheduled posting with cron
56 Getting It Right the First Time
57 Psychological Theories Predict Behavior, Not Just Self-Reports
58 My Delusional Paraphilia Is the Best Delusional Paraphilia in the World
59 Dual-Role Transvestism for the 21st Century
60 Passing Is Legitimacy, Legitimacy Is Passing (I pass as college educated)
61 All Men Benefit From Patriarchy
62 game-theory; you can't take away transition technology; if you say it can only be used for dysphoria and not fetish, that creates an enormous incentive for self-delusion; maybe _after_ the trans rights movement has won, _then_ suddenly people will feel free to be non-delusional
65 > If you want to make your stupid dream real, you need to have a realistic picture of the world. If you want a society in which men and women have the same brain, or one in which feminism actually works, you would have to make it so, with advanced biological engineering. John Varley writes fiction: so did Joanna Russ.

68 my upsetness at trans activists not respecting _my_ lived experience as AGP is reminicent of narcisstic rage in ppl hwo
71 > Knowing his occupation and observing him briefly and superficially were sufficient, together, for me to guess confidently about aspects of Edwin's life that he never mentioned. I know what he was like as a boy. I know what kind of person he is sexually attracted to. I know what kinds of activities interest him and what kinds do not. I am least sure what he will look like five years from now.
