Founder effects? like, i don’t exactly think it’s anything “about the ideology” that makes it more appealing to trans/queer ppl, and there are non-trans zizians, so it seems to me more like it’s just a consequence of who ziz is and where she was originally recruiting from (queer rationalist discord servers)
I disagree but not confident I could write an explanation that’s both legible and not losing lots of info by simplifying into “oppressed people more likely to want to oppose oppression”. When I saw the question I was looking forwards to you writing a good answer to it, actually. To hint at some starting points, why is queer anarchism a thing? How do different minds decide who they are?
Transsexual people, let’s face it, do seem to have problems than the general population. We have to deal with GD for one thing, which I know all about firsthand. Hence the term FNT (Fucking Neurotic Transsexual) that used to circulate. (Yes, I prefer for various reasons to use the out-of-favor term “transsexual”.) We also have high rates of autism. Anecdotally, I think that all but a few of the autogynephilic trans women I have met have had some variety of autism.I think we have more than usual capacity to get involved in cults.
I have a lot to say about cults, generally, but will not get into it.
