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"
+* Collective Debt, Collective Shame (what I wanted to say to /r/GenderCritical, why it didn't work, even if they're not so hostile towards Miranda Yardley or the androphilic MtTs who post)
+* 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)
+* The View From Nowhere
* 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)

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

-> 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.

my upsetness at trans activists not respecting _my_ lived experience as AGP is reminicent of narcisstic rage in ppl hwo

-> 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.
