    As someone who figured out my gender using calculus (mapped dysphoria over time and found the derivative. Yes that is way too much work) I may have to do a troll

      Wow, in Doctor Who back in the 70s he runs in a classmate from Galifrey who calls him ( an equation) abbreviated as “Theet Sigma”.

      I like the idea that there was something about the doctor that they didn’t understand about themselves and had to do the math. Not sure if that would make the equation part of the question or answer but it’s interesting.

      Thank you, hope you’re on a lovely path.

        Thanks, it was definitely a strange experience but learning calculus gave me new frames of reference to think of all sorts of problems and that was one of my major problems at the time. It’s part of why I think that math and science are just as important as the humanities for well roundedness even if you’ll never use them. They teach you to think differently just like history and literature do.

        And yeah it was fuck 9 years ago now. I transitioned shortly after and am now at the point I spent so long hoping to get to where it’s all in my past.
