Unless we are physicists then our understanding of the second law of thermodynamics will come from popular explantions of it. The academic discussion ...

I have not seen a satisfactory answer concerning the conflict between evolution and the second law of thermodynamics. There is no plausible explanatio...

Did I post this here or has it been moved here?

I believe the majority of claims in evolution are unfalsifiable and unobservable. And I believe in irreducible complexity such as with sexual reproduc...

Does it matter whether or not you believe in evolution?

Yes but that they only occur in the sex being described. Any behaviour exhibited by men is male behaviour. Behaviour permed by both sexes could be des...

But is it bad or good? Can we go beyond the basic claim that someone is suffering. And how do we measure suffering is it simply self report and can se...

Now I am just discussing your average man or women. Being a man or women is a biological fact with medical ramifications and psychological and physica...

I don't know what you are referring to here. Are you saying being born male or female is birth defect? I am saying sex differences are real not impose...

I think the problem with the theory of social construction of identities is that no one can have a real or true identities. Because you can never know...

Noone freely chose to be born. We are talking about women in relatively free western societies when they have the choice to be what kind of women they...

I think you can interfere with a trees teleology. The tree seems to have a function it is fulfilling. But that might not amount to harm. An ecologist ...

It is the building blocks of gender ideology and the belief that sex differences beyond reproduction are artificial.

John Money invented Gender being separate from sex which does not even make sense. And his botched and insane intervention to rear a boy as a girl fai...

Allowing men to identify legally and socially as women is objectively harmful. Calling men "women" legally is a legal lie. It lies to society and wome...
