ps i am thinking about doing another . yay? nay?

so far my ideas range similar to the old one (but tuned harder into a theme of second-best-in-slot where like the best of something costs more than i am ready to spend, so what's the _second_ best option)?

another idea is still calling people, that you don't want to talk to, for you.

clues in these possible names:

- You're Still Here?
- Completely Mental
-
- Professional
- These
-

In 2019, Gina Rippon published The Gendered Brain, demonstrating that human brains do not show a fixed gender pattern form birth, but remain plastic throughout life. One of her goals was to combat "neurotrash," the use of information and imaging to promote pseudoscience.

Rippon wasn't prepared for the reaction to her book.

@amydiehl What I like best about the linked article is the term "neurotrash." I'm even going to make that into a new hashtag:

Also, speaking as a male in the helping professions, this is totally my experience. I had to take the MMPI at one point during my accreditation process, and I tested out of normal range on gender role. Wait, I said, I have an abnormal reading on the MMPI, that's bad right? Nope, the psychiatrist said, that's normal for men in the helping professions.
