Every time someone is like "I'm an X first and an anarchist second" I laugh about what a weird utility function that must be. Like your priorities are: 1) something arbitrary and then 2) "no one should dominate or control another person and we should maximize freedom for all"

Replying to @rechelon
Utilitarianism allows anything arbitrary to displace anything sacred/principled. "I'm vegan except for cheese" p much just says the flavor of cheese for a few seconds is worth some amount of animal death and suffering, yet is coherent. There are no reductios someone won't swallow

To kind of invert it, my logician friend always thought he was performing some sort of reductio on me when asking why I care about my gender or how others perceive my gender, and I always basically just accepted whatever the implications were of the "ridiculous" utility function.
