had drinks with a grad school friend last night and we talk about trans stuff as we often do. This person is pretty open about their so-called 'gender critical' views and it's interesting to interact with someone like this in person. a few tiny thoughts:
most people's opinions on most things just don't matter, and I think developing nuanced and detailed opinions in lieu of any action is just jacking off. I love jacking off and am not gonna begrudge anyone that. This person has some wrong opinions on trans stuff, but who gives a shit. Whether they see me as a woman is in part out of their hands and if they don't, well, given that they have no power whatsoever, sucks to be them. I don't believe in some sort of notion that society is shaped by any emergent properties of everyone's opinions. Some people's opinions affect me, most don't
maybe that's all the thoughts I have for now
