no opinion about the original post, however i think its true that theres way too much "splitting" and not enough "lumping" In gender and sex these days https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumpers_and_splitters … what's the problem with this? a few things, both practical and theoretical https://twitter.com/GodDoesnt/status/1003993476890054656 …

second, because of the way that people *identify* with specific sexual practices and habits, this probably discourages actual self-knowledge by creating ossified (and maybe wrong???!!!!) identities

sexual preferences are goopy and context-dependent and etc etc if you want satisfaction and self-knowledge, keep your sexual identity small and personal numinous identity vs olympic identity

I think gender identity is a bimodal distribution.

I am comfortable with that clustering but weirdly this is maybe the one place where the New Splitters don't split!
