    not going to waste my time on a random terf, but i’m happy to see said terf to waste ten times more to write and meticulously cross-reference all that crap.

      Not so much a random terf as someone who appears to have been trying to use lesswrong struggle sessions in place of trans conversion therapy for a while now.

      Or at least that’s my diagonal impression, and I’m also not going over that entire maelstrom just to make sure if they are a rotten egg or not.

        Zack seems to want to transition, has detailed logic as to why not to, and is determined to make it everyone else’s problem

          Demanding that EY et al define “woman” for them so that they can know whether or not they can transition is simultaneously hilarious and deeply sad.

        Yeah i didn’t read much, but at one point in my life i was attempting to do something like that and I see all the telltale signs. The difference is that as a teenager I grew up and developed the emotional maturity to understand that no amount of wanting to not be trans would make me cis, just trans and miserable.

        Also I grew up and learned how absolutely bonkers rationalism is as a philosophy.

        They seem so deep in that the idea of “what would make me happy” has left the equation long ago

        That kind of stuff does make me feel sad, like all the trans people who start out hating on trans people on 4chan. (Don’t get me wrong they still suck and they should stop, but I can feel multiple emotions and also feel a bit sad about them)
