Title: Concerns and Reservations; Or, I Expect a Goddamned Medal When This Is Over Date: 2017-02-08 19:54 Category: other Tags: cathartic Status: draft I'm thinking of just avoiding community social events now specifically to avoid having to run into any trans women. Under a memetic regime where [invalidating someone's identity](/2016/Sep/psychology-is-about-invalidating-peoples-identities/) is the ultimate social _faux pas_, people who model themselves as women who were assigned male at birth and people who model themselves as gender-dysphoric males who don't expect the rest of the world to humor them, are like matter and antimatter: better keep them apart lest they annihilate each other and kill everyone in the room in a shower of gamma rays. There's this MtF social-contagion thing going on here in "Portland" that I find really disturbing It's a free country! You can get a sex change if you want! But can we _please_ admit that it's a sex _change_? _propogate backwards in time_. Defect!
