Blame Me for Trying
core sequence—
-* polarizing tribal forces—because only bad ppl talk about AGP, you need to be very DGAF about politics in order to not be locked out of the correct explanation—and even then, socialization forces might turn you against your own ppl, something I have to be wary of
-* 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"
+* Someone Has To Say It
+* As Well for a Sheep as a Lamb (polarizing tribal forces—because only bad ppl talk about AGP, you need to be very DGAF about politics in order to not be locked out of the correct explanation—and even then, socialization forces might turn you against your own ppl, something I have to be wary of)
* Faster Than Science (if not super-femme, there must be some other reason ...)
* 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)
* Review of Nevada
* Stereotypes, Models, and Cognition
* 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))
* The Neglect of Probability Fallacy; Or, You Do Not Have an Intersex Condition
-* Using a Simple But Flawed Model Is Better Than Pretending Not to Have a Model
+* Simple Models Plus Noise Are Better Than Pretending Not to Have a Model (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")
* 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)
other commentary—
psychological sex differences aren't real, but gender identity is?? always nurture except when politically convenient
Falsifiability and What We Expect Not to See (this is important for the Bayes crowd)
Bucketing (go through Wikipedia list of trans women, categorize everyone)
-Someone Has To Say It
God, I hope it's just a coincidence that Steven Goldberg gets the fact/value thing right and everyone else gets it wrong
horror story about trans activists being pro-porn, &c. indicating how aliens would analyze them as a subtype of males
Engineering possibilities (Anne Lawrence identitfy early)
