I'm not usually—at least, not always—so much of a scrub as to play chess with a pigeon (which shits on the board and then struts around like it's won), or wrestle with a pig (which gets you both dirty, and the pig likes it), or dispute what the Tortise said to Achilles
Speakers of my generation are more likely to say "person" when sex isn't relevant, whereas older works (pre-second wave feminism?) would actually say "man" (or "woman"—see how anachronistic it feels to put the female option second and in parentheses?), presumably not because human nature has changed that much, but because of shifting cultural priorities about when sex is "relevant." (Modern speakers similarly frown on mentioning race (https://agentultra.com/blog/the-black-man-stopped-me/) when it's not relevant.)
+(My Identity Has a Better Brier Score)
+I'm skeptical of "ace"—I think it's just an identity label that can be successfully marketed to otherwise-ordinary people in the bottom-quartile of libido, by an ideology that wants to sell people identity labels to get them to join the coalition of sexual minorities
+You might reply: "But you identify as AGP, and attach emotional weight to that—isn't that just another identity label?"
+but the thing about AGP is that, I actually have reason to believe it "fits" the territory of the underlying psychological variation
+it's an expression of the theory that trans women (left-coded) and the subjects of that old Atlantic article about (right-coded) married crossdressers ("Conservative Men in Conservative Dresses") are the same thing
+invariant under the cultural coding

Memetics vs. Discourse
Cromwell's Rule Is About Symmetry, Not Fairness
Honesty Is Activism
Objectivity as a Rhetorical Strategy: probability, words, morality
Focus on the Simple Case (accurate maps can have bad effects, but that's a weird second-order analysis)
-Self-Identity as Focal Point; Or, Schelf-Identity
It Was a Complement!
