From school close to when the street lights came on my parents had zero idea where I was.

I was usually within 20km of home on my bike. Usually.

A lot of men will say whatever they need to so they can get laid.

There is a word for people who make this sort of negative stereotyping of a whole sex.

So there’s this neat thing in quantum mechanics where the state of something could change to a more stable state in what is known as false vacuum decay.

Then it causes everything else of the same type to decay/collapse to the more stable state in a wave travelling in every direction at nearly the speed of light.

Such an event could rewrite fundamental forces of the universe and… one day planes just stop working.

Probably other bad stuff happens as well like our cells stop working and we all die.

Ahh yes comments so deserving of being deleted or edited by hyper sensitive authoritarians such as

What do you not like about it?

my different opinion on how disagreements should be done

Let me guess, all people should disagree the still unspecified way that you alone are aware of, so anything and everything remains free for you to censor because you made a post?

You’re going to have a bad time on the internet snowflake.

I’m gonna open an issue so Lemmy lets OPs edit and delete comments on their posts. The amount of argument on here is too bad for a standard centralized moderation model.

LMAO you’re waaay too thin skinned to be given that sort of power. There is just some polite discussion of Factorio’s graphics going on.

You should probably just leave Lemmy if you’re that hyper sensitive to any form of disagreement.

Congrats you just realised the mygov ID is being slowly but surely pushed towards being mandatory for access to any online services.

Absolutely. I don’t have any hate for them it’s just not my thing and it’s a bit unpleasant when I see it. It’s a great feature for the fediverse that we can filter and let others enjoy their thing in peace.

I didn’t say sex was a spectrum

It helps if you read and comprehend the comment chain to understand what is being discussed before you jump in with ‘I didn’t say that’ when I never claimed you did.

I don’t see why it’s so hard for you to actually read the comment chain. It is right there. You can re-read it at any time.

Counterpoint: filtering out the furry communities by blocking a single instance

The weirdo asian fetish guys are the worst.

Im a white guy and my wife just happens to be asian and they think that’s a pass to talk to me about how great submissive asian women are.

My wife is not even remotely submissive, she’s one of the strongest people I know and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Strong, capable women are so much more interesting than this fetish idea of an opinion-less submissive sex slave.

I think I was fairly clear, it is a binary system that has some rare exceptions.

Saying sex is a binary is saying there are only males and only females.

In healthy examples of mammals where development has occurred normally this is true.

This whole ‘its a spectrum’ argument is like saying humans aren’t bipedal, there’s a spectrum because some people are born without legs! It doesn’t make any sense.

That doesn’t mean that society should refuse to accept, include and support people born without the ability to walk.

their existence proves that sex isn’t just a binary.

This argument has always struck me as odd as in virtually every other discussion we would accept that the exception ‘proves the rule’.

Humans have two hands, except when they don’t due to something impacting fetal development.

Humans have two kidneys, except when they don’t due to an error in fetal development or as a result of disease or injury.

There’s diversity to sex that requires a more complicated scheme to account for everybody.

Or just let the exceptions be exceptions with no social stigma rather than refusing to recognise that the vast majority of humans, and mammals, can be accurately identified as one of two distinct sexes.

at his happy dance?

You mean the idiotic cavorting of a dipshit who thinks he’s being handed the power to write regulations for his own companies and fuck over the workers who actually produce the value?

I have been calling for the left wing to do this in Australia for years.

We will not beat these weirdo dipshits by pretending they aren’t weirdo dipshits.

Calling them out with direct language at every opportunity is the path to victory.

Honestly Korean brands are just not options anymore, between the ads from LG and Samsung, and the spying by Hyundai and Kia there’s simply no reason to buy their products.

I don’t care. There is zero benefit to me. Advertising scum can go kick rocks.

Where’s it go after aggregation? To advertisers.

I don’t care if it is better than the creepy shit advertisers do today because it doesn’t stop advertisers from continuing to do creepy shit.

All it does it give advertisers MORE data. It isn’t a replacement it is an addition.

Its not doing that

It literally is, with an opt-out feature.

Your lack of concern is not relevant to the desires of other users.

“Male” and “female” are, biologically speaking, not distinct and mutually exclusive categories in humans.

They are and you repeating a claim without evidence does nothing.

Sexual dimorphism is real and artificial means of changing or replicating some parts of sexual dimorphism does not invalidate the underlying biology at play.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_dimorphism

Male and female are so indistinguishable that it’s possible to identify them by their pelvis alone.

It’s a term coined by bigots to misgender trans people

Unfortunate origins aside male is jot a gender and therefore not misgendering. Biological man is misgendering.

What do you think will be the outcome of arguing that sex and gender are the same? That’s literally the side of the argument you have chosen.

Either they’re separate and gender can be changed or they’re the same… and you disagree with trans rights.

The hormones aren’t native to the person

And therefore are artificial. Take them away and what happens? Secondary sex characteristics return to their baseline…. Mostly.

I provided you with my definition of biological sex. If you are so interested in continuing this discussion the least you could do is provide your definition as I requested.

how would giving you the function go a credit card not make you a credit card?

I would still be a human, because changing one part does not change the whole.

If you have the outcome of male attributes, you are in effect a male.

A poor argument given that FTM cannot get real testes, again being artificially mimicked at best.

The primary sex characteristics, that you seem so fond of, can be removed.

But not functionally replicated by artificial means. Also I haven’t based my definition of sex, or argument against sex change being possible, on primary sex characteristics.

You do seem fond of this ‘counter argument’ though. Shame its not counter to anything I have said.

I have only stated that changing secondary sex characteristics is not sufficient to change a persons sex.

Biological sex, as determined by a number of factors during development, is unchanging. Gender however can be changed.

Im surprised I have to repeat that at this point.
