I Was At A Slate Star Codex Meetup!

slatestarscratchpad:

sinesalvatorem:

It was pretty cool. Many interesting humans. It was also the first time I became directly acquainted with the community’s gender-ratio issue, since I had mostly been in groups that were more gender-balanced until now.

I was not at all surprised by the ethnic balance, though. I made sure to introduce myself as “Alison sinesalvatorem. Y’know, the black girl on Tumblr. Yes: the.”

I met @slatestarscratchpad, who is cool. There was a dramatic reading of the upcoming Unsong interlude (that all you non-Bay plebs have to wait til Wednesday to hear), in which I voiced a character.

Besides Scott, the only new Tumblr-person I met irl was @eccentric-opinion. However, when greeting him, I used a slightly different introduction. I reached out to shake his hand and said “Hi, I’m a Marxist!”

We are solving the gender ratio issue one transition at a time.

so true

We should construct a platform for auctioning transitions; people who want to make the gender ratio more equal could donate money and people who are the most willing to transition could be paid to do it. It could also be used to coordinate things like doctor access, purchasing drugs, social support against hostile outsiders etc. to lower the trans-action costs.
