i had to update myself on this information a little (as i saw that documentary on the transgender hermaphrodite over 20 years ago)...what i'm reading ...

"hermaphrodites" in human terms just mean that the person has both forms of genitalia, and like i said: they're not both sexually functional, and very...

i wouldn't say this about the general population, as they were just swayed by sentiment and strong leadership: but this is probably an accurate statem...

I think you're almost right, unless the believer applies induction: which is technically reasoned belief or evidence-based belief. "The sun will rise ...

Heavy is the head that wears the climate...

There will likely be hotter temperatures globally and intense storm activities. It might help you to know that our times are still one of the cooler o...

I was referring to trans folks, but what i said interestingly applies to the people here who have been wanting to invalidate trans as a type of person...

Some people try to make solipsistic arguments, then accuse others of not understanding them, insisting that you didn't read enough of their posts. I d...

I saw a documentary about a real hermaphrodite who had non-functional sex organs, it's extremely rare, but i was not imagining what i saw. Don't belie...

Wow.

The problem is that this just isn't based on any real culture: real cultures just have different ideas about biological sex and gender than others. So...

I'm not straw manning you; the issue is that people who want you to call them a man, when you see them as a woman, are in disagreement. How you handle...

haha, touche...pretty ironic for me to say that, right? It's whatever exists besides you thinking and writing messages on here (as the buddhists and n...

this is why I don't fully subscribe to idealism; I accept it on the basis that thought = perception, and those perceptions can "create reality", yet i...

.... I figured that the error is in saying "i think therefore i am", which many criticize as false since existing seems to come before thinking...

Maybe cartesian logic would be more cogent if it was "i am, therefore i think"

Using your framework, it's symbolically feminine as pink can be associated with girliness, gentleness, affection, lightheartedness...but that's only b...

I guess the thing that concerns me the most about these arguments is that you are implying that blind conformity to social expectations is inherently ...

If I may, i have some questions: -what kind of evolution are you referring to, the mythical rebirth cycles of buddhism, maybe something easier to gras...

I guess the famous (or infamous) descarte quote is one of the earliest forms of philosophical idealism...as opposed to visionary idealism, which is a ...

the questions were intended to help clarify what you and Hegel mean with the above proposition...

so is Hegel then saying the universe itself is consciousness (or intelligence)? This bit may also indicate that all reality is perception, which of co...

This is in response to your new/edited OP: your gender theory is very much in line with how aristotle may have responded in his time period to more mo...

Based on what jamal said, they were probably alerting him based on perceived rule violations, even though Jamal clearly decided you didn't. I wish you...

Are you kidding me? What i said wasnt true and i will not acknowledge / you didnt address it enough is awful forum etiquette. You said nobody was addr...

Thanks for revealing rhetorical methods for what they are.

but once again: this just isn't true. I know it's not true because I did directly respond to the OP: in my response, I sympathized with you implying t...

"Becoming" does directly contradict "I am". I believe the main attempt of buddhist religion/philosophy is to strip you of everything except the true e...

The fear of nihilism shall only widen the gaping emptyness inside of us...

That's false though: i read it and tried sympathizing with your logic, and i still don't agree with it. If you don't like being treated like this, the...

it's not about stopping you from being casual, it's just a guideline. I've made typos and even missed typing entire words on here to my embarrassment,...

"trying to cancel you" would amount to some sort of moderator action, or people trying to bully you off the website...so far, i haven't seen anyone wh...

Thus is the incredibly opaque nature of a thought having any bearing on "physical reality". Thoughts give rise to eachother in terms of their topical ...

I'd argue this as well; you'll notice that standards tend to shift rather than stay permanent, "we killed them and it is justified because..." and var...

sorry for not pulling up the churchill quote and explaining it: the quote you gave in describing tact was more about finding the truth, the churchill ...

it's interesting how the definition of tact you quote is almost the opposite of what Winston Churchill describes. I guess there is a time for snark (c...

That's an interesting point, yet a somewhat irrelevant one to the discussion. Most (if not all) impoverished people still can see the distinction betw...

Wow! What a HORRIBLY irrelevant and convoluted mess! Where do you get the idea I have seen anything like that in my life? "Oh! Gold chain, me stupid, ...

but earlier you said that people don't have to do anything, so fallowing from that logic, how would rights make any sense on a practical day-to-day ba...

Okay, thanks for telling me about the link. However, it is still just one .com website, it's not some transgendered lobbying group that's asking for s...

I personally like thinking and breaking things down philosophically, but this has nothing to do with "the purpose of philosophy". Maybe philosophy is ...

I'm really sick of this over-use of "they" i am seeing in talks about transgendered people here. It's very similar to how people in the U.S. talking a...

i think you are making this one way too complicated: transgendered people are people, so if we are to talk about "human rights", than transgendered ri...

I don't think you are giving the stock market credit for the massive size and power it has: the net worth of the stock market is about 68 trillion dol...

i think there are two ways to look at this... yes) NVIDIA's stock has been the poster child of A.I. stocks, and the hype around artificial intelligenc...

The examples you gave of playing sports with the opposite sex, going in women's bathrooms, and changing the sex on a drivers license are legal in the ...

i only answered because you seemed to bothered by Old Testament atrocities, but of course, these things can explained any number of ways. In my experi...

1. i personally think it has to do with differences in terms of what rights people think they should have have...for example, lots of completely heter...

I fully agree with the notion that you can't totally separate gender from sex. However, since we are looking for clarity instead of fear/confusion, i ...

That, and overtime applying the logic and reason to understanding politics/power was helpful to me personally, but that also gives you a sense that "w...
