+"High-IQ educated people like to think we're _so smart_. But we're just _not_—at least not in a straightforwardly prosocial way. Any double-digit-IQ Trump voter from West Virginia could tell you that men who think they're women are delusional perverts.

+"I know. I prefer not to _phrase_ it that way, either, because like you—like everybody who matters—I think gender-dysphoric males _should_ have a respected place in Society to pursue their dream if that's what makes them happy.

+"But if you ignore the derogatory _style_ of that way of _phrasing_ it and just ask about the predictions made by the mental model that generated the derogatory phrasing, _men who think they're women are delusional perverts_ is the _correct theory_! If _really smart_ people who are _really good_ at philosophy can't get this _really easy_ question right because saying the right answer out loud in clear language makes us look bad—what are we good for? Why should people who aren't _already_ ideologically allied with us _care_?"
