The fact that someone identifies as something else is not enough for me to believe that they are indeed that thing. That’s my problem. There is no dou...

There is an effort to distinguish between gender and sex while at the same time equivocating between them. Hence refusing to define “man” or “woman” i...

And when archeologists dig up his bones and see the male skeleton, what then? I could give two straws about any “social reality”. Social reality thoug...

I cannot deny that.

. I don’t think you should force people to play with you, but if someone wants to organize a game between men and women, and everyone involved wants t...

The limits for me are force and coercion. Let people be and all is well.

I’m not against dress-up and pretend, nor would I tell people what to think and believe. But I won’t easily conform to someone else’s belief in the sa...

I disagree with that. But I love your phrase “galavanting flesh”. I’m going to use that one, with all credit to you, of course.

So why pretend the person is both male and female? The reality appears to be the biology, while the denialism remains in the sphere of identity.

The people of Wyoming booted her out. I won’t lose a wink over it.

A trans woman is a biological male, then, according to your formulas.

I love it. She lost to someone I never heard of, despite being coddled and fawned over by the legacy media, despite being a war monger and torture def...

Fair enough. You accused me of denying reality, so I just wanted to know which reality I was denying. You could easily point me to one shred of eviden...

It didn’t. Hence your failure to quote someone properly.

It’s like a bloodline.

That was the dictionary, actually. So you think a male can produce eggs?

Of course your rationality left out the most relevant parts. Brilliant.

So you don’t associate females with the sex that can give birth to young or produce eggs?

Why do you always misquote me by removing much of what I said?

Does society not associate females with the sex that can give birth to young or produce eggs?

Female: belonging or relating to women, or the sex that can give birth to young or produce eggs: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/f...

It’s just the death throes of another establishment political dynasty. The Cheneys, the Clintons, the Bushs—all are heading towards the trash-bin of h...

A woman is an adult female human being. A man is an adult male human being.

And men are not able to. No one alive or dead was born of a man.

Gender is best utilized as a staple of language, not of biology or psychology. Sex is a better descriptor, in most cases.

I’m saying that people who give birth and breastfeed are women.

You’d be a woman because you could give birth and breastfeed. No amount of imagination can change that.

All this weird hand-wringing about rhetoric means little in the wake of such actions, in this case the unprecedented actions of federal law enforcemen...

Sounds about right. The FBI has such a sordid past that it boggles the mind that anyone could trust them.

Victim: "The Stasi spied on me." Stasi Spokesman: "All of it was above board.”

Then why did they return the passports? Because they shouldn’t have taken them. In this case the contents wasn’t theirs to take, and they knew it. Cor...

Legal or not, it just goes to show their incompetence or corruption. They were there for classified documents and walked out with personal documents. ...

No I think it was ironic and wrong to take Trump’s passports.

No, they ought not to have. They should have grabbed “All physical documents and records constituting evidence, contraband, fruits of crime, or other ...

You’re defending the FBI taking things they ought not to have. That’s embarrassing.

Did they raid the house for Donald Trump’s passports? The answer is “no”. There is no need to weasel for their incompetence or corruption.

I’m not sure why you’re leaving out the first sentence, but passports aren’t “physical documents with classification markings”. It doesn’t matter anyw...

It’s not reasonable to take people’s passports when you’re there to seize government classified documents. The FBI ought to know what they’re taking b...

Stealing documents.

The irony.

It is certainly worse to see the self as all things and thus serve all things/others equally as your own body/personal needs for the simple reason tha...

If I remember correctly, Rushdie’s crimes were that of blasphemy. Though there is a theological debate whether such a crime should lead to worldly pun...

Not when those same agencies are engaged in reckless or criminal behavior.

I doubt it was reckless. That the judge who signed off on the warrant defended associates of Epstein is enough for me to know that Trump is scaring al...

It’s often used against political opponents and whistleblowers. It doesn’t matter his rationale.
