I've seen some people getting genuinely uncomfortable at the recent discourse. Just wanted to point out there's more than one kind of weird.

Exactly, exactly! To keep it going, I think their whole worldview is based on what's "natural" and how their shitty behaviour and policies and ideas are normal and natural, because they view stereotypes about human nature (esp re sex, gender roles, race, family structures, etc) like these unshakeable institutions that they're powerless to influence in any way.

When really it's like, nah it hasn't always been like this, and it will continue changing, forever.

Further, we can do the very difficult work of trying to change it in a way that benefits more of us!
