@chaosprime@justinleitgeb "Binaryopposition" is a good example of what I dislike. -
@jason_pontin@chaosprime couldn't find that. Are you referring to a particular blog or the concept of binary opposition as used in gender? -
@justinleitgeb@chaosprime I'm objecting to all pretentious usages of "binary" to signal that one is a very theoretically educated writer. -
@jason_pontin I'm concerned that by broadly signalling "pretentious uses," you're delegitimizing it to indicate a useful concept@chaosprime -
@justinleitgeb@chaosprime If you're asking if I think we need more "gender fluid" or "gender queer" people in tech, Yes. Diversity is good.
