Mutual agreement about how to use scribbles, or what the scribbles refer to? If the former, then what exactly are we agreeing on using the scribbles f...
For me, things are real if they possess causal power. Rocks and ideas are real because they possess causal power. You can use your ideas to change thi...
There is no reference if the scribbles refer to something that is not the case. One can only confirm there is a reference by making some observation a...
Sure, usefulness is dependent on what is real or true. For something to be useful means that there is some sense of truth attached to it. I used 99.9%...
The information one possesses could be memories where one used the information before and was successful in accomplishing some goal with that informat...
It seems to me that any proof that logic provides must be confirmed by some observation. 2 + 2 = 4 are just scribbles on a page. What do the scribbles...
Which is to say that gender changes over time and cultures. So if a person travels to a different culture or to a different time, does their gender ch...
The problem is the term, "essence". What is an essence? Is it akin to a substance? What is a substance? The issue appears to be a misuse of language, ...
I didn't see any pushback on this. So are we to assume that your ulterior motive here is the eradicate transgenderism by applying unisex policies acro...
It's not that. Michael can't seem to decide which definition of gender he is using - the biological one or the non-biological one. He is essentially m...
It's your argument. You're the one that needs to support it, not me. You're the one that simply accepts what your told without question. There is some...
It seems to me that the conversation is limited when you don't have clear definitions of what it is we are talking about. Without clear definitions we...
And I am asking you how it logically follows that these distinctions qualify as sexual differences if they occur across both sexes. As I have pointed ...
We also don't live in a world with unisex bathrooms. Abolishing clothes, or making all clothes unisex instead of having distinctly Women's clothes and...
Yet you keep referring to biology. I have already been over this and we are going in circles because you won't address what a non-biological gender is...
What behaviors are specific to a sex? Wanting to wear a dress and high heels is specific to a certain culture. The way women are expected to dress can...
The delusion is that there is more to being a woman than having XX Chromosomes, ovaries and vagina, or that having XX Chromosomes, ovaries and vagina ...
A solution would be to define what it means to be "true". Another solution would be to dispense with the word, "true" as a descriptor of knowledge. Kn...
Or just disperse with the notion that women should wear dresses and men should wear pants. If we did that then wearing a dress or pants would not be a...
Sure, when someone uses words in a way that is contradictory people will have a difficult time understanding them. Yet you assert that a trans-woman h...
It doesn't explain what they mean when using the terms man and woman, which is why you cant point to it in the links you provided. Really? Define esse...
where in these wiki links does it explain what one means when they claim to be a woman or man? What properties are we referring to and how do we know ...
I'm talking about the actual perverts, whether they be trans or not, entering women's bathrooms. You're still avoiding the question as to what anyone ...
Yet I've seen women go to the mens bathroom because the line to the women's bathroom was to long and men go into the womans bathroom to assist their e...
Do mountains change? Does it take time to process sensory information? Is processing sensory information a type of change? There is change and then th...
But wait, I thought trans-people aren't talking about their biology. :roll: contradiction after contradiction after contradiction. It's contradictions...
And you don't see the problem with the first thing you said and the bullet points you showed? If bathrooms are unisex then "cis-people" can use any ba...
How do we know how much we don't know? Isn't it possible to doubt what we do know even though what we do know is true? Isn't it possible to over-think...
Sounds overly complicated, like you're performing mental gymnastics here. Why are we even talking about sex in a discussion about gender if they are d...
You're failing to provide reasoning as to why bathrooms should be divided by gender when they have been divided by sex AND sex and gender are distinct...
Please, don't say that. I participate on this forum to be doubted. I participate on this forum to have my arguments criticized - logically - that I mi...
Exactly. 1 and 2 establish that it would be off-topic to discuss bathrooms in a discussion about gender. You're making my argument for me. Again, what...
What I'm saying is that if gender and sex are not the same thing, the discussing intersex is off-topic. If women's bathrooms are not exclusively for b...
You're not answering my question. Why do you group trans-people with people defined by their sex if sex and gender are separate things? You are making...
I'm playing along with your assertion that sex and gender are separate and showing your inconsistency in constantly going on about sex in a thread abo...
Because sex and gender are separate. So you're comparing apples and oranges, right? The men's bathroom is exclusively for men and intersex people. Wom...
Intersex people can use whichever bathroom they want. What does this have to do with trans-people? A vast majority of trans-people are not intersex. I...
Right, but if sex and gender are separate, then why isn't your rebuttal that we are off-topic rather than assume the premise that sex and gender are t...
But that's the thing. Why have a discussion about bathrooms, sports, and prisons if sex and gender are separate things and bathrooms are divided by se...
There is a critical distinction here. We should not ignore the fact that even the smaller percent of intersex people that can have children have the s...
