• “Why Luke THREW AWAY His Lightsaber in Return of the Jedi”   https://youtu.be/KuWnt1E_zAU?si=nuFMwXUGEdkVNNPa   A very important explanation - one that is applicable to so many other areas of life

• “It's Never Too Late to Do Better”   https://www.okdoomer.io/its-never-too-late-to-do-better/   Another brilliant, evidence-based article from this outstanding author - which also includes discussion on “disconfirmation bias”. The last two paragraphs are particularly exemplary

Remember: we generally need to be more human being rather than human doing, to mind our Mӕgan, and to acknowledge that all misgendering is an act of active transphobia/transmisia that puts trans+ lives at risk & accept that all insistence on the use of “trans” as a descriptor comes with commensurate use of “cis” as a descriptor to prevent “othering” (just as binary gendered [men’s and women’s] sporting teams are either both given the gender descriptor, or neither).
