-From that essay, the term is linked to the following pernicious and false ideas:
-* The idea that a person has a certain innate, natural, or static bdsm [[Status Roles| role]]
-* The idea that a certain bdsm role [[One true way|necessarily has certain features]]
-* The idea that a person's [[BDSM]] role is determined by their gender role
