    The idea that you can cleanly separate parts of a whole is a useful lie. Gender is a separate part of a person, except for all the ways it’s not. A person is a separate part of the world, except for how they’re not.

    We’re all fundamental particles doing a bajillion things per second in an indescribably complex dance and we label a subset of the near-infinite patterns in this mess “gender”.
