Ah apologies, my mistake I didn’t know, possibly wrong of me to assume this was in bad faith, and I definitely don’t want to tell trans people how to refer to themselves.
tbc I don’t know any more than you here, and I only have the text of the comment to go off of. I just interpreted “You really don’t need a [blip] from Russia to lead you into a discussion about some next shit that’s about to blow in Silicon Valley . I’m pretty sure you can do it :)
Don’t ask me, I’m an immigrant here.” as referring to themselves. I found the rest of the comment kind of hard to understand so it’s definitely possible I also misunderstood things here.
Yes, it’s about me, I’m a trans girl from Russia. Yes I’m saying that it would be weird to me if I do something with the EA community.
People here believe it’s ok to believe in “red pill” (not the one from the movie, the other one, see in the most downvoted subthread here). I don’t want this in my life. It doesn’t feel ok to me to believe in that.
People here believe in utilitarianism (see comments of Sabs, he’s not alone in this), which usually makes people like me the “mere ripples”.
It would just feel weird: a peasant helping the master to deal with some issue together?
The world is not ready for it.
I’d love to be proved wrong though.
I have experience that it’s like this: I say something, polite, not polite, anything, related to this set of issues—I get downvoted or asked to “rephrase it in some way”.
What I really want is answers.
Like, the RX/TX balance of this conversation is: I sent a lot of stuff to EAs, got not much neaniful response.

So I stop.
Nah it maybe seems like I was wrong. If so, apologies OP!
