I think this topic is really only as political as you make it.
I did in fact decide not to reply to the grandparent because I estimated that it would cause less harm in this respect than replying. This article is intended to be a contribution to the philosophy of gender identity in the style of EY’s executable philosophy, and it is more directly a reply to lucidfox’s Gender Identity and Rationality. This topic was perfectly acceptable in 2010.

To clarify, I was entirely replying to Dagon. I have no quarrel with your post itself in the slightest.
