     Hi Alex,
     Your essay reminds me of this thought:
     "The world is ruled by letting things take their course."
     "It cannot be ruled by interfering."

     It was written in China about 2,800 years ago by a philosopher named Lao Tsu (Laozi). If you're not familiar with his prose, I thought you might enjoy it!

     I like how you removed the peer pressure and intercessory elements from the answers to life's questions

     @alex What I wish for you, is that you may glimpse beyond the veil of a linear set of reincarnations, and ponder that time is far loopier. What I wish is that you you may find a prerogative to align with all of your future incarnations. All life. That we are all born with *your* nature.

     I wish you only the best things.

     You've been hurt for your beliefs without being offered a space for mutual understanding, and I'm sorry for that.

     People that you love or know have been hurt by certain individuals, I'm sorry for that.

     You have good things to say, and a powerful mind that could benefit both transgender *and* feminist communities, and it has not been given the chance because its pain was too much to bear to hear from communities it could help. I'm sorry for that.

     There are a lot of goofs out there. We're all goofs, like you said in this article. We're all the goofs of the universe, and a lot of the people that have hurt you are just goofing in their own way.

     That doesn't excuse them, and they lose more than their perceived gain.

     Well that was the rabbit-hole. I ended up reading a few of your "what I believe/don't believe" posts and now I finally can see why everyone hates that productive friendly guy.

     I resonate with, specifically, your metaphysical alignment to a high degree.

     I also appreciated some of your points in your trans article. The one that I most resonated with was `"die cis scum" iz bad`.

     That being said, I think that you may be an unwitting atheist, and not an agnostic, by your definitions.
