May I present a different alternative based on history? Nixon in 1956 thought that we would go to a four day work week based on increased production. ...
Fantastic to hear! I wish you clarity of mind and speed of fingers in writing your novel. The site will likely be in its new location when you finish,...
And my problem is I think its actually bad manners to ask someone to use pronouns against your natal sex. I think its self-centered and narcissistic. ...
I get that. I don't think I'm being a 'white-savior' because I don't view trans gender individuals as some 'other inferior beings I need to help'. I r...
Its a good way to describe it. 100% agree. Its just basic sexism. Sexism is of course very appealing and powerful, so its easy to worm itself into peo...
Here in the OP, I'm fairly confident at this point that I'm correct, at least in my conversation with you. If it changes or morphs in the future, I do...
No, you appeal mass appeal to 'generalized educated people' is not evidence of the default of man and woman not being sex references. Are you going to...
First, if it was true, that doesn't prove that the disagreement is rational or right. Educated people as a group have believed or asserted plenty of b...
Did you not read the entirety of what I wrote? He knows he's still a he. He's transitioning to fill this need. Not all trans gender people take the id...
What do you mean 'need'? Here I want to zero in a bit. Its just what we define it as. You asking that question is the same to me as "Why do we need to...
What is a woman then? What is 'the shape of a woman' if not a biological sex reference? What are 'feminine features' without a biological sex referenc...
Correct, and I offered you another. Me. You're correct, I don't. Just like you don't have to accept my assertion, "I'm correct, you have to agree with...
Yes, this is an appeal to you in particular. If it does not appeal, ignore. I think this is a bit of a stretch. I already said "woman" at first, and w...
The classic transexual definitely. Trans 'gender' has always felt like a rebrand of trans sexuals to let more get in and be accepted by society, but u...
Excellent. I am addressing you and wish that you would agree with everything I say. So why should you not? No, I am the authority of good manners. And...
Because a name is a legally binding identifier for the individual. Why do you think it wouldn't matter? How so? Who is the authority of these 'Good ma...
A legal name change makes that the person's actual name. Just because a name is normally associated with the other sex, doesn't mean it belongs to the...
Always appreciate your viewpoint Amadeus. If it helps I didn't write this thread after hearing the phrase for the first time. :) I've dived deep into ...
I'll be more clear. Language does not create reality. Language can shape our perception of reality. But it does not change reality at its core. Callin...
I'm very confused. How is a basic default definition 'dogma'? How does the point that the unmodified words of woman and man together are sex reference...
At least we agree the argument is valid. No Jamal. My conclusion follows because I have multiple true premises. No begging required. All you have to d...
Yes, but they aren't saying "Sex preference". I'm not sure what the point was here Frank. That's not intended to sound sarcastic, I'm just not sure wh...
That's worded quite strangely. If it the prevailing definition of the term 'woman' became social role instead of sex, then the OP's conclusion would c...
Let me stop you there. This is not an OP that decides anything about trans gender desires, politics, etc. This is a language argument. This is not, "W...
That's ridiculous. Effective language is used to describe reality. Let me give you an example of why effective language is more important than getting...
Correct. What you didn't imply in any way is that most people would think that 'woman' in this instance was referring to a role and not a sex. Let Jam...
I've answered your point about it not being the default definition. We can keep talking about that, but this OP and Jamal's focus is on definitions an...
The claim it is the default definition is a given. Go to anyone you know and say, "A woman was walking in the woods." Wait a second. Then ask them, "D...
Incorrect. If you want to have this debate and contest that definition, that's your call. First, you have to address what the OP is doing, not what yo...
If by "You" you mean a synonym for "Philosophim", then its not a contradiction. If you mean "You" as a separate entity to "Philosophim" then its defac...
I do not see a scenario 3 in your OP. But if what I mentioned is a 'scenario 3', that's fine. Its your thought experiment. Make it however you want as...
The difference is in who you are. You exist correct? If you exist separate from Bob in Alice in such a way that you can access Bob and Alice's subject...
I did not forget to reply to your old post, if you recall the previous post I noted I was done chatting with you because of your inappropriate approac...
That we need to do more research to figure it out, and in the mean time find the best approach with what we know now. I didn't say people didn't have ...
Hey Questioner! Your tag wasn't set up right and it didn't actually tag me. I just happened to visit the lounge and saw this. Perhaps that's best rega...
As I mentioned, they are trying to change the law. And as I've further mentioned, we are talking about individual consent. When I'm addressing sexism ...
You consent to obey the law, or petition for the law to be changed. But until the law is changed, you consent in the social contract between an indivi...
This is a parents responsibility to manage a child who is not mentally capable to not make effective decisions about their future. We are talking abou...
Let me be clear. In no uncertain terms is anyone's consent 'baloney'. Violating another person's consent is the definition of being a scummy person. I...
I get your point. I think the difference between ourselves is I see it as a known unknown. We're probably getting into the 'agree to disagree' territo...
I'll be quick on the quantum answer as I don't want to distract from your real point. The reason we measure as a wave vs an point is again a limitatio...
