Sort of off topic, but Stuart Hamerhoff researches into the nature of consciousness specifically looking for quantum processes in our brain's microtubules. It has implications in quantum computing. He made an analogy about the order questions are asked and how that that altered the responses. I saw it maybe 6 or more years ago in a video of a talk he gave, I will never be able to find it again, so sorry for the lack of a link.

I think Helen Stanilan also raises an important issue, and she talks about it in her interview on Graham Lineham's yt channel, about general ignorance about what "trans" means. This is true of every issue I think, where those in power rely on general ignorance and disinformation to gain public favor for bad ideas. Here, too many people assume "Trans" means those who have had genital surgery to transition. I try to use "self ID" as often as possible because at least that term tries to be concrete about the range contained under the set "trans".

Now, to get completely off track ... Another thing that I try to make a big deal about is just what "identity" means in terms of public policy or law. Our identity is tied to our physical characteristics with regard to law and those in power. We do not put down physical characteristics on ID cards for trivial purposes, it is how those in power keep track of us and pin down who we are with no interest at all in who, or what, we say we are. Any use of the word "identity" beyond that seems pointless to me with regard to public policy. It is especially pointless to talk about one's inner or innate identity or sense of gender or anything. It is nothing more than a proclamation of faith.
