I'm 30, education in neurology, employment in the legal field. When they say "high school understanding" of biology I cringe so hard I wanna turn inside out. My best friend is also GC but has turned quite conservative and a little tinfoil hat ish lately because she is dating a crypto currency bro who was raised with Colombian machismo ingrained into him. It's rubbing off on her and now her main focus is Bill Gates and his apparent master plan to enslave the human race with microchips in vaccines.
I'm just happy to have a place where I can talk amongst other like minded women. Smart, strong, talented, interesting women who want to dismantle the bullshit that is gender.
I won't shut up. I can't afford to be canceled but lately I have gotten more bold with my beliefs and a lot of it has to do with participating in GC related discussions and debates that help shape my views. Maybe I change my mind about something, or learn that I was wrong. Or maybe rebutting an opposing opinion strengthens my beliefs.
I never understood the fear of being wrong. Sure it can be embarrassing but you defeat that by getting curious instead of defensive. Worst case scenario, you've learned more about something and are armed with that knowledge for next time.
I have a lot more to say but this is the crux of my issue with gender tenders. There is no room for wrong or different or changing of opinions. The cancellation of women on reddit is soul crushing not because I'm attached to reddit, but because it's so easy to shut women down as a group. I hope we can thrive here and not burn out.
