a.r. moxon provides some of the clearest-eyed communication around "controversial topics" because his writing uncompromisingly centers the humanity of people as a first principle

A quotation reading: "Question: What is a woman? Answer: A woman is not a what. A woman is a who. I'd observe that once you ask who is a woman, you get billions of different wonderful and extraordinary answers, but you no longer get to police which women get to keep their humanity, and to what degree. Who is a woman? I'd say it's always somebody who knows they are a women. Wouldn't you? I have noticed that what the birthday boy and his hateful crew do as almost an instinct is reduce a who to a what, and they do it to women in just the same way as they do it to immigrants and anybody else they want to target, and for the same reason, which is to exclude them from their full humanity so that they can be more easily abused. What is a woman? is meant to convey "we will control your gender, and we will be extremely deadly to you if you won't be controlled." This control is being established for all women, by the way, not just trans ones. If you want to establish women as lesser than men, you're going to need to hold a secure border between who is and who is not a full person, so that you can operationalize the inequality with precision."

reconsidering the framework here: when one side of the "debate" is worried they will be canceled (from life) and the other is worried they will be canceled (on the internet)
