Yes, starting with your claim as a premise. Having mercy is never immoral, while any punishment can be just as long as the same law is applied equally...

How is that a misrepresentation? Up until the point where I claim the person has the knowledge, I'm arriving at the same conclusions as you were in yo...

Well, can a woman? How can a man know what it feels like for the other men to feel like a man?

How am I the one that was not making sense? What was "I did" supposed to be a sensible thing to respond to in that context?

Circular reasoning. How? How is imposing everyone's desires on everyone against their will not equal? So equal misery is better than unequal happiness...

This only proves the words describing the idea have changed, not the meaning or the idea behind them.

Read that part of this discussion again.

Sources? Are you talking about mean or median?

Um... thanks for repeating? No it's not if you bring it up to back up your point. You can't make a claim and then claim I'm off-topic and should make ...

Probably because when we look at sex and gender as random events in probabilistic maths we see they aren't independent events.

So was I. One can't be an obese anorexic. Anorexia is partly defined by whether one is obese. So why assume he was talking about etnicity? And humans ...

So why am I not allowed to ask different questions?

So how do you define morality? What does it mean if not the way it is generally understood?

You sound dangerously like this discussion is going to a rather transphobic direction, but anyway: Sure they can, but my point is that those feelings ...

No, she had to make a very serious commitment to make her practical applications and expressions of her identity possible. She can make the decision o...

Exactly. She decided to go through the transition because she felt like that was who she was, not because she decided to feel like a woman. The transi...

Ok, explain your thoughts. Gender is a decision, and not a compulsion, but you say it's like a compulsion. If it's not a compulsion but a decision, ho...

No, that really was a terrible metaphor.

If gender can be chosen through a conscious decision, why do transgender people choose to be the gender they are, even though that leads to them being...

So why do you choose your gender to be whatever it is?

And it's still acceptable to own slaves and murder is still right as long as you do it while invading another country in the name of your religion and...

That's a new interpretation to me. According to this view, would lying to a murderer to save the victim then be considered moral because of the circum...

It is, but I'm asking it anyway.

https://media3.giphy.com/media/YnYug1WheBIA0/giphy.gif So why do you identify as whatever gender you identify as?

Opinions can be changed, but a person can't just decide to change their own opinion. Are you claiming people choose all of their subjective opinions a...

Doesn't follow. Everything I listed is subjective. Self identity in general is subjective but you don't choose it.

I agree. An individual still can't make a decision out of their free will to change their gender, just like they can't change their sexuality for exam...

You played yourself. Social roles can't be chosen, gender can't be chosen, no contradiction.

Wouldn't you agree that sex is biological and gender is sociocultural?

It's similar to personality. You can't make the decision to be someone else than you are = you can't change your gender.

Yeah and that's what I'm thinking might be incorrect. The human behaviours that are typical to specific gender but do not have a sociocultural but rat...

Does gender have to be an entirely social structure? I know people like to think the biological sex has nothing to do with personality and there's no ...

Person's gender can change but no one can change their gender out of their free will.

The title says gender. Which one do you want to debate?

It's five-dimensional, with the beings with free will being capable of controlling their movement in the fifth dimension. Well, that's just an example...

Killing someone as a revenge might be just, but not moral. I don't see how that is unequal just because there's someone deciding about the nature of t...

That's your opinion. No, that's just equality. Is killing everyone for no reason just? Justice is defined through morality, not the other way around. ...

No he's not.

The problem though is only this part: (Should be "I lack the belief that there are things that are not gazoompas") Going through my comments there's a...

Ah, yes, my bad.

~B(Ex~P(x)) = not believing there is any x with the property P.

Yea, that looks correct to me, but the translation to English is wrong imo.

But shouldn't the first one be Ex~B(~P(x))?

Wouldn't that mean you lack the belief that there is some thing that is not a gazoompa? If you want to say you lack belief in some thing, shouldn't yo...

¬B(p) ? ¬B(¬p) ? ¬(¬B(p) ? B(¬p))

You can just substitute ¬p=q.

How so? A couple of dictionary definitions: (of a person or their judgement) not influenced by personal feelings or opinions in considering and repres...

Not according to relativism, for example.

See, you're making an objective claim here. Things depend on situations, but there can still be an objective answer for any given situation.

I didn't say that, or any else "is", would be where the "ought" would be gotten from.
