+ * What is NB?? Like, what does that mean?
+ * The view that people just "are" NB as a brute fact is not plausible
+ * Instead, NB as a "social technology" (https://samoburja.com/social-technology/)
+ * In this frame, we can inquire as to the costs and benefits of an NB gender regime; this article focuses on some nonobvious costs
+ * NB is a way to opt-out of stereotypes
+ * Signaling catastrophe: if the 5% of androgynous people ID as NB and you're not allowed to refer to their sex in words, does that mean that non-NBs are therefore consenting to being stereotyped?
+ * GNC presentation ("a rocker with a nose ring") has the same signaling dynamics, but doesn't trash our ability to talk about sex when relevant
