ok ok ok ok fun idea what if being trans becomes high status broadly and then trans folks start erecting barriers to entry "fake trans girls" memes develop upper middle class parents worry their kids are too gender conforming and hire NB tutors how far can we take this
do you think its really so remarkable or dangerous? I think I usually am pretty sensitive to this and it doesnt seem hmm sufficiently pattern-matched to the outgroup to be radioactive

non-deleted tweets are an archive. I don't think any of the people in our nice little cluster would have been offended by it but I know for a fact that there are people out there will dig through archives for ammunition. I don't intend to make it easy if I get in trouble one day.

if I'm gonna get dragged one day I hope it will at minimum be on a hill I'm willing to die on and not for some BS

if someone wants to wreck you they'll find a way show me the man etc best is just to practice good opsec and avoid making enemies I guess still I respect your discretion

-
good opsec would be using a pseudonym, which I don't. my compromise is instead to use my real name as a focusing element to discipline my speech. forces me to think "is this so important that I need to say it, here, now, in this way?" untraining my autistic tendencies I guess
-
it's a kind of resistance training for public speech
-
That’s fine but you can practice that on LinkedIn. At least that’s how I see it.
