intelligent, insightful and very personal. <3. Radicalisation by internet (on any topic) seems to be very dfiniteively indicated in the science literature with most data scientists agreeing it is the single greatest radicalisation tool in history by a large margin. If it helps - I am trying to be a critical trans feminist and no one likes me in either group (socialisation / biological). I went through a strong phase of nihilism initially (and this certainly included thinking that society didn't really care for social justice - which I still believe wholeheartedly today), but afterwards found that there are a lot of both women and trans women who can have complex dissonant thoughts about gender and sex and debate intelligently and with care on issues where their respective rights may well collide and can actually build one another up. Much love and thank yous. Kim

This frustrating af to read, you start off with "I've BEEN intentionally vague" like your not about to sidestep every oppurtunity to make any clear conclusive point before moving on to the next vague "point in the discourse" that you will of course also not conclude on.

As well as some awful simplifications of the positions on both sides to force your lib-brained repulsion of any definitive statement of fact.

Calling yourself a materialist made me lol

Like if youre going to be so nuanced here you also have to start out with what your position is on the terms themselves going in, or like go in depth enough on one point so its settled.

Its like, this is exactly the level of discourse you already get on twitter, vague gesturing towards having a more correct position than others without having to set any positions yourself.

Like this was so frustrating to read as someone looking for someone who was hopefully going to lay out their nuanced position in a longer format than twitter, you know?
