 what counts as "similar" vs. "different" isn't scientifically interesting: the data speaks for itself; how you want to summarize the data to stupid humans who can't hold multivariate probability distributions in their head is a matter of politics

+OUTLINE OF POINTS TO HIT—
+
+ * most disagreements are fake because people are squabbling over framing and
+   culture and "ought" rather than difference in the same world that we all
+   inhabit
+ * specific example: are trans women women?
+ * specific example: are men and women mostly different, or mostly the same?
+ * framing disputes aren't _completely_ trivially reducible, because some
+   categories are genuinely more natural than others
+ * I'm not "above" normal human discourse—I have my preferences, which I'll
+   fight for despite being idiosyncratic to me, and my views on which
+   categories are natrual which I currently think are transpersonal, but
+   _insofar as I can_, I want this blog to focus on describing the map, seeking
+   the view from nowhere.
+    * It helps to be _explicit_ about when you're being normative, and when you
+      think you're describing the territory.
