Gender & society worries 

Us deconstructing gender and using it as an infinite tool and canvas really is radical.

Some days, I like to think we're the beginning of a whole new development in human society, of breaking down thinking that assumes binaries and biological destiny.

Other days, I worry that we right now are as far as the pendulum is ever gonna swing. That we'll be looked back on as a breif oddity flaring bright, only to be subsumed by crushing rigidity.

Gender & society worries 

@starkatt I think before society can tackle what _we_ think of as "gender" -- and, more broadly, "identity" -- it's going to have to come to terms with the harms it wrought while it thought of such things as innate and immutable. Until it does, trans and queer identities will inevitably lead to conflicts with branches of radical feminism over the definitions of "sex."
