Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

Is that the guy who's always trying to use LessWrong as preemptive conversion therapy to cure him of having trans thoughts, and they're actually having none of it?
First paragraph!
Davis is the first person to blame transsexuality on autogynephilia I have seen in the wild.
"Humans have biological sex and socially constructed gender, sex is mostly binary, gender is two or more categories made up and constantly contested and redefined by a society and performed by individuals, pronouns generally refer to gender" is not hard.
Edit/ linked the cranks in question (Bailey is the fucksaw guy?)
Apologies for radical feministing but "biological sex" is also a constructed category! It's useful shorthand for quick categorising a bunch of related traits if you're doing biology, but it does not meaningfully exist on an individual scale. There is no more reason to divide humanity on the basis of sex than on the basis of hair colour.
Sounds like we could have a fun conversation about gender, sex, and why we use maps even though they are never the same as the territory in person. I don't have detailed talks about gender theory online.
