Autoandrophilia + Donna Tartt
The Secret History is Donna Tartt’s 1992 debut novel. It’s about classics students at a small, eccentric, private college in Vermont in the 80s. It’s heavily based on Donna’s own experience attending a small, eccentric, private college in Vermont in the 80s. In 2019, an article by Lili Anolik came out interviewing classmates from around…
The Biomedical Industry
The more I learn about the abortion industry, the more it reminds me of the gender medicine industry.
Violinist Argument
The only good argument that I’ve ever heard for abortion is something that I thought up myself. I was unconvinced by any argument I’d ever heard, which always, “It’s convenient, so moral concerns go out the window,” (which I think is a horrific thing to say) or, “they’re not actually babies” (which I don’t believe).…
Nonbinary: Divergent
Divergent by Veronica Roth is a goofy series of teen novels about a dystopia where all people are basically sorted into personality-based groups, in the same vein as the Hogwarts houses. Some people exhibit traits of more than one group, but this is quite rare. They are termed “divergent.” Part of this issue is the…

It’s a not just limited to trans shit. Abortion is really convenient. It’s personally convenient for a…

TLDR: if it meant I never had to have another conversation about gendered pronouns, I would be totally willing to switch to using “they” for everyone. However, since switching over to that would requite a great deal of talking about that shit, I wouldn’t actually want to implement this in real life. But there are…
Bad Worldbuilding
I’ve talked before about how, as a teen, I sort of dabbled in MOGAI circles but never quite went full in. And most of the reason for that is that I am a worldbuilding junkie. I’m a writer and a avid consumer of fiction, and the worlds are always my favorite part. And the worldbuilding…
Woke Corp
On Ovarit, I saw an angry list of menstrual cup companies that someone was suggesting women boycott, because these companies were using dehumanizing language (“menstruators”, etc) instead of calling women “women”. Not that they’re wrong to feel that way, but I don’t particularly agree with them either. More than anything else, I see cooperate wokeness…
SSA or lack of CSA?
While this is by no means a hard and fast rule, it generally seems to me that in men, same-sex attraction is stigmatized more, and in women, lack of cross-sex attraction is stigmatized more.
