    Up until a couple of years ago I was completely unaware that gender is absolutely central and essential to most peoples identity and how they relate to others. It’s wild.

      Men on the internet have tried to argue me into accepting that I am threatened by trans women. I still don’t get it.

      I have two sons with special needs (one mental and one physical) and it actually seems quite reasonable to say that our bodies don’t always do everything according to plan (DNA). Why is it so hard to believe the body and mind are at odds with each other?

        I don’t find that hard to believe at all. Humans are complex and the possible permutations are infinite.
