Hi, Happy to try and answer, though with the caveat that this is just from my own experience.
-
Disphoria happens on a social, mental, and physical level. For some the social hits strongest, basically they feel like their true gender internally and would like to act and be treated in a way that matches the social contruct of their true gender rather than their AAB gender, but they may care less or not at all about the physical appearance. Transmedicalism denies that their experience is very much the trans experience. For some, like me, my lifelong dismorohia (e.g. eat disorder, body shame) meant that my physical disphoria only presented after I found queer communities will to accept me as trans while I still looked very cis. To put it in TLDR terms, no woman should have to shave her legs to be a woman (and trans women are women). Which leads me to #2.
-
Transitioning can take a long time. I am now addressing my physical disphoria, but the time and money required is significant. Transmedicalism (perhaps unintentionally) creates hierarchies: passing > surgeries > hormones etc. Which can be emotionally destroying along the way, and even more for a late-bloomer like me, who may never pass. And so rejecting that helps change the standard for me, makes sure every step I take is for me which leads to the last point.

NB and trans NB people exist. Specifically why what OPs dad said is still troubling, it still forces a binary when gender is more of a 4d spectrum.
TL;DR transmedicalism gatekeeps a lot of people out, when we all have far more in common.
Again, not the gospel, just my take. Thanks for asking. ❤️

Beyond that there’s been a considerable amount of research about our ability to estimate room size/material/shape while blindfolded just based on the reverberation of sounds in the space.
Oversimplified conclusion, untrained humans are really good at it.

Exactly, this is only an issue for me if my cat manages to build a wifi jammer. Though that is a possibility.

I worked in craft beer marketing for a while and the running joke about untapped was something like…
“Best lager I’ve ever had… I don’t like lagers. 1 star.”

Ah, I see the problem. I’m afraid you’ve accidentally adopted a Velociraptor.

Yeah, I did that, until one day I was digging my keys out of a pocket and the prong ended embedded deep under my fingernail. Never again.

- Comment on EPIC personality test. Which personality are you?!? 9 months ago:
Short story. My company brought in a different working-type consulting group. I decided to try my own experiment and answered the 150 survey completely randomly, didn’t read the questions. Then sat through a 4 hour workshop where most of my colleagues told me it made so much sense I was a [whatever my results we’re, I forget]." Found out they paid like $10k for the day session, never told anybody what I did.

Yeah, but only because a human license is stupid hard to get. I blame the government.
- Comment on Pre-IPO Reddit lets ads be dressed up as promoted user posts 11 months ago:
Anyone remember when a certain oat milk brand paid to promote a megathread about their new ad campaign, with comments open, and just got savaged by Reddit? The funny thing is that generally people seem to like the product, but hated the smug marketing so much it turned real bad, real fast.
I wonder how they’re doing:
The stock has fallen 42% in the last 12 months, while the S&P 500 SPX has gained 23%.
Ha.
