I'm saying girls with gender dysphoria are physically different enough from other girls that it's measurable. So the idea it's a delusion seems mispla...

You're confusing transgender with transsexuality. They are not the same thing. You can be transgender without changes in sex.

Your replies are useless. If you don't have anything substantive to add to support your opinion, please go elsewhere.

Except of course that's not a donut. It's a picture of a representation of one in two-dimensional space, while we know a donut is a three-dimensional ...

Why is it a lie? There's "sex" what your body looks like, and "gender" what you feel and how you think about yourself and therefore "identify" as.
June 24, 2021 at 12:21
What part is a lie?

Do you have a picture of a donut without a hole for me?

Well, obviously different properties will be measured differently. Maybe I should've been clearer: why should we not treat the shape of an object as a...
June 22, 2021 at 14:00
And why is this any different than any property like texture or colour? It just describes the form or outer boundaries of an object.
June 22, 2021 at 12:57
you are drunkey? Nah, language is fine as it is.
June 22, 2021 at 10:46
No, rings have holes but they aren't holes. A hole isn't a thing but a property resulting from the shape of matter. So do holes exist? As much as "bei...
June 22, 2021 at 10:40
That's not a hole but an indentation. A hole wouldn't be able to hold water.

I don't get why people are so concerned with "democracy" in this context and need to accuse people of harbouring tyrannical aspirations. You're in a c...

Apologies. Thanks for the clarification. Sometimes I still miss things with English not being my native language.

sure, Nazis avant la lettre.

Probably not. I think the exercise of empathising with criminals ought to be employed at the stage of sentencing not when adjucating if a crime happen...

Phillips shares sure. Philips goods no. They sell production and license their name to Chinese companies.

uhmm... The re-education camps are intended to destroy a culture. You don't need to kill to effectively cause genocide.

Yeah, if only I had the time and financial comfort to work full time on this. But in principle it's good advice.
