@chaucerburnt @blikkie @gerikson @RememberTheApollo_ it was my first exposure to carney culture and tattoos. Actually reasonable prep for the 3rd millennium so far. I think the lessons are that the people in the powerful groups really can't escape the societal blindness that position entails, blindness of their own society and time, and that reading of works non-hegemonic authors is needful to find the most free and innovative visions of the future.

@chaucerburnt @blikkie @gerikson @RememberTheApollo_ one of the tendencies that kept so much male written fiction from the mid 20th century from being truly radical. Weirdly a lot of Sci Fi is much more revealing of its time of authorship even to the decade than things like Pride and Prejudice or King Lear.

@gerikson @RememberTheApollo_ rather than people use technology to consciously take over their gender expression.
