Woooooow

On my twenty-second day out of prison, I went to the genderqueer support/discussion group again, but this time with my metaphorical evolutionary-psychology goggles firmly in place.

And just, woooooow

These not-particularly-feminine females and probably-autogynephilc males think that they have something substantive in common (being "genderqueer"), and are _paranoid_ at the world of hostile cis people just _itching_ to discriminate against and misgender them

And their struggle makes sense to them, but I'm just sitting there thinking wooooow

It's _all_ just social-exchange and [coalitional instincts](https://www.edge.org/response-detail/27168). There are no principles. There have never been any principles. The horror is not, "This is a cult." The horror is that [_everything_ is a cult](http://lesswrong.com/lw/lv/every_cause_wants_to_be_a_cult/).
