"It may have something to do with the Medium algorithms, but getting the same things over and over from people who share a demographic or tribal membership is the building block of stereotypes."

So true. I'm constantly having to fight this bias "availability bias" myself. I followed a bunch of trans writers when I started writing about trans issues, and now Medium has decided that all I ever want to read is stories about trans issues. And sadly, on Medium, a lot of them are written by raging narcissists.

I have to constantly remind myself that these people don't represent the majority.
