on 02016-07-19Sort of anti-#trans #gender essay (though sympathetic to transsexuals) from the perspective of radical #feminism. “To call yourself non-binary or genderfluid while demanding that others call themselves cisgender is to insist that the vast majority of humans must stay in their boxes, because you identify as boxless.”
on 02016-06-30“Contrary to what we expected (and probably contrary to what you expected as well!), masking gender [by processing voices] had no effect on interview performance with respect to any of the scoring criteria (would advance to next round, technical ability, problem solving ability). If anything, we started to notice some trends in the opposite direction of what we expected: for technical ability, it appeared that men who were modulated to sound like women did a bit better than unmodulated men and that women who were modulated to sound like men did a bit worse than unmodulated women. Though these trends weren’t statistically significant, I am mentioning them because they were unexpected and definitely something to watch for as we collect more data.” But maybe the voice masking wasn’t effective. #feminism

on 02016-06-27“Quotes from #MRAs that will make you rethink trusting feminists”, by Ozy. These are intended to be things that feminists have quoted MRAs as saying; each one is carefully dissected to see if it’s real, and many are. Mostly they make me not want to trust MRAs, but that’s hardly surprising. #feminism
