That's a rather startling thing to say, at least on LessWrong.

Is it startling to be honest? Perhaps I was not careful enough with my wording, or my tone did not come across correctly, but the statement "Quite honestly it was such a unique and interesting idea that I accepted it into my own ideology pretty readily" was confessional. I said "potentially acceptable" because I feel that the speculation here is not grounded in expertise, and I don't want to repeat the mistakes of my youth and be just as easily indoctrinated by your flashy idea as the previous one. I really am not too familiar with this community, but personally, I try to be as critical and reflective as possible of the discourse that encompasses my beliefs. It is somewhat embarrassing that I never thought to question the biological fitness of hermaphrodites in general, but the truth is I didn't. It would be nice to chalk that up to youthful naiveté at the time of indoctrination, but it just as easily could have been a blind spot in my reflections.
