Money isn't real. It's a social construct. Some people hate it, and live without it. Some people are traumatized by it. Some people want to burn it all. Some people love it, especially when they have a lot of it. It still has a lot of power, even though it's not real and hated.1/

P.S. - some of you are harping on my use of the word 'real.' Yes I get money is real. I get social constructs are real things. I was using 'not real' to allude to the fact they are constructs, non-absolute, relative, etc.

There are many social environments. Here are four - a) people who heavily rely on binary gender to script interactions, b) like a, but try to treat nonbinary folk neutrally, c) people who try to ignore gender, d) friends (who have personalized scripts for you).

Not everyone has the same social illusion sense. Some of us notice, at what feels like a biological level, the incursion of external memeplexes and bristle as something like an immune response comes online to expunge it from our brains. I run money memes in a virtual machine.

I can swap in other money memes besides fiat. Crypto, for instance. When I learned of the history of money, giant stones with markings in them to note who owed who what, it made immediate sense. It's a feeling of arbitrariness to the whole affair. Society could run differently.

in general I'm pretty sympathetic to the idea that standard gendered categorizations and scripts are unfair and coercive in damaging and illigitimate ways that can end up being essentially culturally supported gaslighting of gnc and nb people who's identities and agency aren't...
