As a (partially white) USian, I have to agree with you. We have a long way to go.

I don't recall where I found this, but I'd say this looks about right.
Two scales illustrating the social environment composed by men. The first, prefaced with "I've learned that a lot of guys visualize our social environment like this" shows over 95% of the line to depict "good men", and a small bit to illustrate "crazed evil men". The second line, prefaced with "But it's actually closer to this", is labeled as follows: at the 1/8 mark, "heroic men who will intervene" another eighth "well-meaning men who underestimate the issue", the next line, at about halfway, reads "men who think certain women deserve it (but aren't active predators)" , the line after that, "men who passively enjoy/consume/encourage predation", at the 3/4 mark, "textbook predators we're all afraid of" and a final mark nearly at the extreme end of the scale, labeled "monsters so cruel we can't even fathom them".

I'm not a fictional character and these aren't Easter Eggs. The way that non-binary folk choose to present is not, ipso facto, indicative of a journey towards some other trans identity. It can ebb and flow as much as feels right to them, or based on whatever compromises they have to make.

I was gonna say that I forgot to mention the scientist was a woman because "woman scientist" felt redundant, but the term "scientist" is gender-neutral so I'm actually more a fan of that.

Found the reference:
Dr Jessica McCarty writes: At a NASA Earth meeting 10 years ago, a white male post doc interrupted me to tell me that I didn't understand human drivers of fire, that I def needed to read McCarty et al. I looked him in the eye, pulled my long hair back so he could read my name tag. "I'm McCarty et al."

Classic. Reminds me of the guy who tried to explain something to a scientist referencing Last Name et al, only for the scientist to turn to him and say, "I'M Last Name et al."
