:roll: of course I can agree with all that (just read my recent posts in other political discussions), but that will take generations to accomplish. A...

That's not the issue here. The issue is men that are not trans entering women's bathrooms and locker rooms. The ultimate issue is assuming that extrao...

I'm not a solipsist so the rest of your post is irrelevant. The fact that you did not answer the question is indicative that you do not have an answer...

You seem to think there are good reasons to change what has worked. The only reasons you provide is to point at 0.1% of the population of intersex peo...

Yet you are making all these claims about reality as it is. Am I to believe the claims you have made about reality?
May 09, 2025 at 15:06
This is due to a conscious effort of shifting one's attention to a specific area of the picture to the picture as a whole and back. What does that eve...

, , Your post just re-iterates my point - that there is no meaningful distinction between gender and sex. If one "affirms" their gender by taking horm...
May 09, 2025 at 13:04
My point is that bathrooms and sports are separated by biology, not gender. If sex and gender are separate then why is it so difficult to make a meani...

How can any of this be said if we do not see reality as it is? In one breath you make all these claims about how reality is, and in the next breath cl...

Uh... yes. Keep the violent people away from non-violent people. What did you not understand about that? If trans are being placed among a violent pri...

I fail to see your point. Is the ability to question authority and disagree with others a central tenet of free speech or not?
