[P] There's something dark that lies in the neurotypical psyche that I really don't like. I'm disturbed by how... frankly omnipresent it is. It has much to do with essentialist xenophobia and goes something like this: If an exotically non-human—unrecognisable in any way as human—mother and child are depicted, both must suffer, they must be seoarated and tortured. This is enjoyed Universally by all neurotypicals.

[P] The new hotness of this bio-essentialism is deeply sexist, focused on mothers and daughters, and that makes my brain itch. I don't like this, because things that happen to "monsters" in fiction don't take long to transition over to persons who aren't Us in the minds of neurotypicals. I don't like what that suggests. Am I looking at a future that does this to othered mothers & daughters? Why must typies be so wretched?
