I heartily invite the bigots to die mad about it.

Bigots outraged

Was there an outrage when Arnold Schwarzenegger gave birth in the 90s movie Jr? Remember it was a interest concept as a kid.

Wouldn’t this experience be really dysphoric? I’m curious if he touches on that at all in the book or on his TikTok.

It could be, but not necessarily. Everyone I've met has had a unique experience of dysphoria. What is deeply dysphoric for one person can be a non-issue for another, or even a positive.

I can't tell if this is saying that "human biology" is taking the book personally, or if the bigots are taking human biology personally
