@emilyst Interesting that people are replying "it doesn't mean coherent, it means X" for various X. This shows that "sane" wasn't specific enough to be useful anyway.

@APatchOnCinamon @Glinner I see thousands of people who don't meet those descriptions, other than a couple of guys who *shockingly* have beards I guess. Why is it so important to mischaracterize instead of engaging honestly?

@Glinner Did this really seem logical when you wrote it? This approach of misleading and mocking does not resemble intellectual honesty. #thanksgraham for energizing us to confront ignorant bad-faith attacks, and support kids instead.

@Aibagawa @RedAndBlackFrog @AgentCucco @simplelogical @jack_turban @aap_peds The only religious claim I see here is your treatment of sex as an "essence" akin to a soul, instead of a cluster of physical traits, which have diverse combinations in nature, and many of which can be changed.
