+.@LessWrong has the brains, @Quillette has the courage, social justice has the heart. What heroine or hero among us can unite these three virtues and shepherd us home to a Nice Place to Live??
+
+Shared mass-blocklists might help here? Although that does, unfortunately, put the onus of the trivial inconvenience [TODO linky] on the reader. Not sure what else to suggest (in the face of disagreements on what Tweets constitute "harm"), sorry. [cold sweat]
+
+Less-harsh rephrasing: passing (and especially passing-for-cis) has a large effect on social outcomes for "deep" structural reasons; more anti-transphobia political activism won't solve this problem (but, e.g., cheaper facial feminization surgery might!)
+
+There's a sense in which cis is the default—cis (non-trans) bodies are what you get in the absence of exogenous hormone replacement therapy. (There were some permanent effects after my 5-month 2017 HRT experiment, so I'm "less" cis than I would otherwise be in a way??)
+
+Trans people are a sufficiently small minority that I wouldn't be surprised if medical science doesn't yet know what things are due to developmental sex and what to current hormone levels—it would be great to see more research on this! [female scientist emoji]
+
+----
+
+I guess I'm not sure what the truth condition is for being nonbinary? ("NBs are people who say they're NB" seems too much like circular reasoning.) I could start to become a trans woman by getting back on HRT, but I'm not sure what the process is for being NB [include hormones photo]
+
+I never expected to become a polarizing figure 1/5
+
+like, compared to the ENTIRE REST OF SPACETIME, I'm yet another nice smart progressive Jewish trans girl, just like everyone else 2/5
+
+It's ONLY in comparison to Berkeley 2019 that I might be easily confused with some kind of vicious right-wing edgelord (the likes of which I actually am not) 3/5
+
+Can I be forgiven if, from my perspective, it looks like the problem is with Berkeley 2019 rather than me? 4/5
+
+where this "Everything is socially constructed! Nothing correlates with anything else!" performance is the price of being Good, I'm willing to be Bad if that means I can say that SOME things aren't socially constructed, and use language to refer to correlations less than one 5/5

 Then offer her a job at the salary of an 8x engineer. (Get it? It's an efficient markets joke: if companies really behaved like this, they would compete to equilibrium & there would be no pay gap in the 1st place. But real-world markets aren't efficient for many reasons 😰)
 
 You know who else believed that "biological sex" was a useful concept? Hitler!
