Can't believe I respected this guy at one point

"I recently consulted with my friend Jessica, a brilliant astrologer-psychic, and one of the things she told me was that my job was preventing me from expressing my gender." -- Dean $pade, first sentence of "Undermining Gender Regulation" in _Nobody Passes_ (Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore ed.)

What a douchebag.

I was mostly reacting to calling someone a "brilliant astrologer-psychic", which just seems like a category error. The "stopping me from expressing my gender" part is kind of whiny (especially given that his job at the time, as he explains, was working for a trans rights group) but it's mostly the first part.

Oh, I did think that was weird, but I guess I was expecting you to be commenting on the "expressing my gender" stuff....
