having my mind blown by this rn. if i suppress my sense of my own gender when talking to a woman then i'm not located in gender space so she can't see me in gender space and if i suppress my sense of *her* gender i can't see *her* in gender space either

gender is where you're standing, orientation is where you're facing

suggested on a call that while talking i maintain awareness of my gender and my voice noticeably dropped lower and got sexier if this + maintaining awareness of a woman's gender when i talk to her are the only things left in my way i'm gonna shit a brick

haha when i learned how to talk to the rationalists i degenerated myself and everybody i was talking to because minds are genderless i wonder if that had any downstream effects at all on my ability to flirt

someone once posted on the ssc subreddit asking for female rationalist blog recs and people went crazy being like "why should gender matter!! it's sexist to care about the gender of the author!!" and it drove me crazy

imo since a lot of culture takes male as default it's easier for men to fall into the trap of believing gender doesn't exist
