Oddbean new post about login | logout There's no such thing as changing your gender, so no. There's just developing a mental illness. Should we be pressuring kids into developing mental illnesses?
Yes, I worded it wrong. I meant to say get these surgeries that alter your body.
Wokists love to throw around the word Draconian, but Chinese foot binding was draconian. It's mutilation of little girls' feet against their will. Maybe it would have been better to convince the girls that they'd be better off with mutilated feet before mutilating their feet, so you could feel morally ok with doing it. Then maybe it would have been a little less draconian, and more like gender affirmation 🏳️⚧️
