I think the default answer to any complicated question should be: “what recognizes human dignity and autonomy?”

I am a radical feminist and have a lot of complicated beliefs about the nature of patriarchy, the artificial nature of sex stereotypes and roles etc… but I also know that there is something about me that makes me a “man.” I have always been a gay man. I cannot explain this in a way that makes sense in that pragmatic materialist sense. Maybe there is some difference in brain chemistry. Ultimately I don’t care. My drive is to be a gay man. I am happy as a gay man.

Reality will always be more complicated than the constructs we use to model it. I’m team “be nice to people who aren’t hurting others” above all.
