  • I also see many people treating dating as like an exam, where if you “fail” that’s your fault, rather than this particular pairing of people just not working out. Pickup “artists” are the worst about this.

    And like, why would you even want to force a relationship to happen if you two don’t match well? That’s gonna be bad for everyone involved… unless… it’s not about a personal relationship at all, and perhaps it’s about having a commodity in your possession…










  • I’m sure you could come up with a self consistent definition, but who says it would be “correct” (whatever that means)? If I define chair as an atom with 1 proton in the nucleus, that’s a pretty clear definition with little room for edge cases, but it’s also completely absurd.

    You could also define “woman” by listing out everyone you feel counts as a woman, and that would technically be self consistent, but again, that’d be absurd. It’s all completely arbitrary, so why should I or anyone else care about that definition? Same goes for any hypothetical 20 page definition.




  • “It’s complicated” is probably better for doctors and scientists. The other day I was filling out a “women only” medical form and about half of the questions were relevant to me.

    And for a scientist, what exactly are they studying? For social science or psychology I’m an outlier no matter which gender or sex box you put me in; for reproductive stuff I’m closer to male but still somewhat of an outlier (because hormones); for various other medical things I’m closer to female (hormones again); neurologically idk, but there’s evidence trans people tend to not match their AGAB here.

    But yeah, normal people shouldn’t care about any of that when just talking to me.
